He was pretty good in the Olympics. Has range shooting for a big man, quick, strong. May be a decent role player

Dude looked pretty good in the Olympics against the US

Thousands and thousands of plus 1s

Some states allow party registration and some don’t. Where it happens it’s completely voluntary and non-binding and serves two purposes:

Their team sucks, but in a one on one interaction you’re still talking about doing a 360 on a large athletic 7' dude. Still hard

Thats the only way really

So many of these picks are players who are actively bad at basketball right now but could hypothetically one day be good. Meanwhile, every year players who are actively good at basketball but not super athletic slip later into the draft where the already good teams scoop them up. Is there any other industry where…

He was actually a 2 and 3 exclusively in college, so it’s more of a natural fit for him anyway. Didn’t start playing point seriously until the nba.

To dial down the rhetoric a bit, yes, while this would be a horrible quote if what he was actually expelled for was sexual assault, remember that the article above points out that there’s still not concrete evidence that that is what he was actually expelled for. None of us know yet. Right now all you have are…

Really isn’t a lot of money at stake in Ivy sports, to say the least.

Actually fwiw none of these guys have scholarships because there are none in Ivy sports. These guys pay their way like everyone else
