Draft Express has Trier going 35th and Alkins 44th.

Teams need to carry three point guards these days. TJ brings something Bayless doesn't and fits that faster pace of play the 76ers play. Redick will presumably eat up minutes combo Bayless would have had at the 2 off the bench. I could be completely off here, but my guess is TJ's playing time will b...

Trier has to do a lot to crack Arizona's top 5. Not saying its impossible but yeah

rgdeuce

Thats unfortunate for Sidiki. The bigger story here: how the hell does someone snitch on their own brother?

One of my college coaches (young) used to always walk up to me and say, "Curls are for the girls" whenever he saw me doing them during our team weight room nights. After hearing that about 4 or 5 times, I responded, "Well p*ssy makes me pitch better." Never heard it from him again.

rgdeuce

Don't see how it would - see Russell Wilson signing a professional baseball contract and playing two seasons before returning to play football at Wisconsin.

rgdeuce

At least he owns it. He must have been high that day, never seen him coach like that before.

I could get down with two 5 star PG's in one class. There's no reason they couldn't play together, and they both can play.

Both have wingspans that are in the neighborhood of 6'6".

My bigger question would be why anyone is screwing around with an arm blasting workout if you're training for sports? Curls have exactly zero effect on athletic performance. Worst case, you need biceps strength as a balance to your triceps, just like it is important to have a strong back to go with...

Josh Jackson is a good, solid addition. Jackson and Booker can be their wing starters for the next 10-12 years, easily. Coworker of mine that is a huge Suns fan doesn't like the Jackson pick. Not going to be many teams who are better situated at the wings 2-3 years down the road, if any. Booker and...

Big 3 needs Lavar Ball badly. That dude would bring in so many viewers, and it's not like the dude couldn't beat Jordan.

I watched Cal probably five times last year and he wasn't properly used in any of them.

That happens to a lot of body builders as they age (See Arnold, Ronnie Coleman, etc). Their metabolism slows down yet they still eat like they did in the youth, when it all turned into freakish muscle. They are still stronger and in better cardiovascular shape than most men.

Lets be real - 1) He's white, 2) He's foreign, 3) Most people have never seen him play more than a few games. If Lauri were black and U.S. born and played in a conference whose games started before most of the nation goes to bed, everyone would be "omg ceiling, Jonathan Isaac, potential, sperm." Lau...

Outside of the Xavier game, Trier never took more than 14 shots in a game last year. In the two games he did have 14 field goal attempts, he gave us 19 points and 28 points (11 for 14 vs UCLA).

rgdeuce

Good for Kadeem. Intangibles and D still matter, and he has both. Celtics clearly believe he can be a Tony Allen type of guy off the bench and you know they likely aren't going to keep BOTH Bradley and Smart long term. Kadeem will have had plenty of time to marinade and improve and be the next man ...

rgdeuce

The more guys we have in the league the better for us. I'm rooting for all of them.

Trier is going to be hungry next year and will be on several All American lists.

rgdeuce

I wouldn't rule out Kobi yet. If he matures and gets his head on straight, look out. Could be a good wake up call and humbling experience.

rgdeuce

Congrats to Lauri. Not a bad place to land. Bulls fans on suicide watch on twitter. Idiots have no idea what they may be getting. I seem to remember Knick fans reacting the same way when they drafted Porzingis. I imagine a LOT of fans haven't seen the players they are whining about play. Exactly wh...

Honor the process. I had a perma-smile being a Celtics fan. Ainge killed it in the 2nd round.

U just have to laugh when you can get a TJ Leaf at 18.

I don't think their reactions have a lot to do with LM, but the fact what they got in return for Butler I agree they could have done better, but I'm not ...

Seems like there's a lot of good kids in this draft. Very likeable group of young men considering most are 19.

youre getting a great point guard, you cant be complaining about Dad.

Lonzo Ball is one of only a couple UCLA guys I didnt loathe. Thats not going to last that long now that hes a laker

Lauri is fine as a passer and if teams are freaked out about his passing, that means they aren't using him right.

rgdeuce

LOL @ "only 4.1 blocks in 18 minutes per game." Based on what I have seen on social media in recent days, Lauri is the in vogue "bust" with the fans.

I would have the ultimate respect for Lavar if he had this door knocker on his front door.

Sheesh. Altman doesn't need to be the guy who brings these guys in/deals w this stuff. Eventually will catch up w him and that will be the end of him coaching at any quality program.

I guarantee you Miller bends the rules. Dude played in the Big East when you had a million teams within a small radius stabbing each other over the next Chris Mullin. It's a dirty game and with only a couple exceptions, you have to play dirty to succeed at it. I just don't think he is doing the REAL...

Sounds like the Sixers and Celts are going to swap picks, which all but guarantees Josh Jackson going in the top 3. That would leave the Suns with the decision of Fox, Tatum, or Isaac. Reportedly the Celtics like Tatum. Think he's different enough from Brown where Jackson is a bit too similar. But ...

There is zero chance that Pitino didn't know about this. Zero. Isn't the whole idea of these recruiting systems, that the HC is intentionally kept in the dark? Like Pitino may know there is some sketchy stuff going on to get his recruits, but he has no idea of the specifics. Others do the dirty wor...

ok thank you for the explanations

Background/origin?

5 conference games? That's it? Although it's deserved, I wasn't wanting a death penalty, Pitino to receive a multi-year ban from coaching, etc. But minimum, Pitino should have been out a year, the scholarship hit should have had one or two more, and there should have been at least 1 more year of an ...

Anyone want to help a brother out and explain "Sevun?" I've been seeing this for years and still have no clue what it means.

Ohio State is a great job. The "it's a football school" stuff is always overplayed. If you win consistently, you have nothing to worry about and are going to eat better than most. Ohio State has a HUGE fan/alum base countrywide. If you win at Ohio State, you have a huge following that is going to la...

Growing up in North Carolina and having some UNC donors I can tell you that if we wanted to avoid Miller to UNC then Roy should have retired after he won the Natty this year. Miller dropped a few pegs in the thoughts of those folks after the Xavier loss. Now if he goes to the FF next season and/or ...

Williams' photoshop is the most hilarious shit I have seen all week.

If this were UNC with the sudden opening, we'd all be nervous as hell. OSU, for all its successes, is still not on the same level as the best jobs in the sport. I'm actually very surprised they let Matta go. Recruiting had cooled off, but that's something Matta could've brought back. Sorta wonder i...

While those 19 year olds may be future union members, they presently are not, and the union's responsibility is to its current members/players. Talk about a conflict of interest. The current 34 year old player in the league, who is actually represented by the union, is the person the union needs to...

If the NFL can force 3 years of school, there is no reason the NBA cannot (theoretically). Well, I can't think of any 19 year old kids who are physically ready to play in the NFL, hence the 3 year waiting period. A better example might be baseball, where a HS kid can go right into the draft, or if ...
