Which leads me to wonder why we are always fussing about where player minutes are going to come from?  Most kids these days don't have the drive to play extended minutes night in and night out, especially in the Big.  We should have a quality back up for each of our bigs.

"We should have a quality back up for each of our bigs." yes, please and thank you

This is pretty wild. Don’t know anything about him other than he’s supposedly an uberprospect, but playing a full year at the absolute highest level of CBB as a 17yo seems a little nuts, though Quaintance did it at ASU and held up.

Guess it depends on the prospect. Luka Doncic played pro ball at 17 and was league MVP at 18. Wemby was similar but not quite as advanced, iirc. If this kid is on that level, he’ll somewhere between all-American and dominate even at 17.  
 

As much as I hate the older euros coming in, this is the cool part of NIL, imo. It would’ve been awesome to watch Luka dominate college ball for 2 years—especially if he were in an IU jersey!

Hadn’t thought about it quite like that. Can you imagine what Doncic would have done to East Bumphrey Nowehere St in some buy game in November?

This guy is a beast but watch Paul Osaruyi. If we got him to reclass. He's at another level athletically.

Yeah, athletically Osaruyi is an absolute freak show. He’s about as prototypical as NBA 4’s get. And the present skill is surprisingly good for a kid that young.
