@PackManJoel IMO.. he made money while receiving elite level training, which gives his body an edge, adding on those 5yrs of maturity about sports, life and how to prepare for competition vs what a 18-22yr would do. We'll see how the NCAA Board votes. Will be interesting.
@PackManJoel Its simple. Has anyone went into a job interview knowing the salary can be six figures, but said "nah I'm not ready for that amount, I'll take 65k". I can tell you what will happen. You won't get hired!
@PackManJoel Every team...Every team in the NBA when they see Reed on the ball immediately starts to press him, which means its on every team in the NBA scouting report.
Why? Because he struggles with ball pressure. That shouldn't happen coming from Kentucky.
@PackManJoel We had hardenstein as a rookie we traded him. Look at his passion for rebounding against Wemby and spurs. Rockets double big of Segun and hardenstein. But we have old Capela/Adams. Then add Reed over Castle. Too many bad decisions to recover.
@PackManJoel The shooters we bring in need a history of 35% or better from 3 over multiple years. We need to CONFIRM no health issues and last minute "surgeries" like KD thumb and DFS ankle. We need two shooters off the bench for Amen and KD next season.
@BiasedHouston Giannis cannot score unless its a fastbreak dunk or rebound dunk and he cant shoot FT's. Playoffs is half court scoring. Very few dunks. Lets stop talking about Giannis and we'll need to take his brothers also.. No!
@clutchfans No! Reed was tested at PG his rookie year and this year. Amen was touted as the next PG learning from FVV. We wont accept AFTER the season to hear "well their not really PG" go find SHOOTERS.
@PackManJoel I question our player evaluation.
We had guys like Kenyon Martin Jr
Josh Christopher, and others then factor in whats on our current team. We are not making good picks. Then we had a screen setter rim protector in Isaiah Hartenstein and we let him go. Now he has a ship on OKC.
@Stunna999_ Giannis is not the answer. Playoffs is a half court game. He cant score without dunking. Look at the teams who are successful. They have shooters and their shooting is consistent. Rockets were the worse team in the playoffs.
