@3bradensmith Braden Smith of Purdue @BoilerBall just knows how to play. He’s going to have a long career on an @NBA roster.

Stat line for last night’s 87-80 win vs @AlabamaMBB :

29 PTS 5-10 3PT 7 REB 4 AST

The Lakers landing Cam Carr at No. 24 overall is one of the biggest steals.

Some scouts had him clearly as a lottery prospect, and he now lands in a perfect situation to play off Luka Doncic’s gravity.

Carr will contribute off LA’s bench immediately.

Bennett Stirtz

• Zero star recruit - Committed to D2 School
• Transferred From D2 to Mid Major School and Dominated
• Transferred From Mid Major School
to High Major School and still dominating
• Elite 8
• 16th Pick in NBA Draft

Keep. Working

[Chad Mart @ChadMart1]

Oklahoma City in my opinion had the best draft with @bennett_stirtz @ Adam Mara. Excited to see the Jazz next season with their young team and the late season addition of Jaren Jackson along with newly drafted @Darryn_P1

@Dariusacuff5 is my early ROY prediction.

Have done pretty well on my mock draft. Had the top 5 in order, all of the top 12 (not in order), and only 3 I picked in the 1st round that were not selected (Thomas, Evans, Veesaar). The picks that made it into the first round that I didn't have I had them slotted at 31 (de Larrea), 32 (Karaban) and 35 (Ejiofor) #nbadraft

[Chad Mart @ChadMart1]

I’m keeping my eyes on Darius Acuff at possibly 5 for his scoring ability. Having Garland on the roster, they might push for a combo guard like Wagler like you have.

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

No real surprises here. The main item was Tounde pulling out and getting about $7 million from St. John's. Good for him! #nbadraft

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

My NBA Mock Draft is included in the Consensus Mock Draft feature on https://t.co/58so7zoOEw. Most have Dybantsa No. 1 at this point. The content will be updated each week or so. Check it out!

12th year covering the Nike Hoop Summit. The best part has been the people I have met along the way. Favorite event of the year and so lucky to be with the @getinthegame101 crew.

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

[Michael Visenberg @NBADraftMikeyV]

Another @nikehoopsummit week in the books. Game was great, and as always got a lot from the practices.

Did a breakdown of every player on USA and World at practice, what they bring to the table. Also some standout Portland Generals. Check it out @NetScouts.

Bag is DEEP 😤

Top-ranked Tyran Stokes had his entire skill set on display at Nike Hoop Summit 🔥

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

UConn advanced to the title game with a 71-62 win over Illinois in the #FinalFour. Tarris Reed Jr. led the Huskies with 17 + 11. Braylon Mullins added 4 3s and 15 points. The Huskies advance to face the Michigan-Arizona winner on Monday night

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

I remember watching this game at a friend's house in Brooklyn. It's been 53 years and no one has had a better Final Four performance since

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

Darius Acuff scored 36 points to lead Arkansas past High Point 94-88 in the thrilling nightcap in Portland. High Point's PG Rob Martin scored 30 points and continually got to the room with his quickness. The Razorbacks head to the Sweet 16 #marchmadness

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

Camden Heide scored his only points of the game, a 3-pointer with 14 seconds left to clinch a 74-68 win for 11-seed Texas over 3-seed Gonzaga. The Longhorns advance to the Sweet 16. Graham Ike scored 25 points for the Zags but took 22 shots. #marchmadness

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

Oregon got renewed energy from Nate Bittle and improved play from Wei Lin as the Ducks upset Wisconsin 85-71 tonight. Bittle scored 20 points with 6 boards in 35 minutes while Lin had 13 in 20 minutes. Oregon had a 34-16 advantage in paint points #GoDucks

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

It was quite the game. The Oregon women got out to a 21-point halftime lead. Then Illinois went on a 40-11 run to take an 8-point lead midway through the 4th quarter. Then the Ducks came back and pulled out a 76-73 win. Mia Jacobs led Oregon with 23 + 9 #GoDucks

[Carl Berman @carlberman]

Bennett Stirtz will be a first-round draft pick and he showed why tonight. Stirtz scored 32 points on 12-15 shooting (4-6 3s) and added 7 assists and no turnovers as Iowa beat Oregon 84-66 tonight. He was in control the entire game. It was a pleasure to watch him play #GoDucks

[Chad Mart @ChadMart1]

At Matthew Knight Arena, the home of the @OregonMBB taking on @IowaHoops
