TucsonClip, I like your proposed plan quite a bit. The only I aspect I have a question about is allowing non-1st round picks to play overseas, in the d-league , or go to college for two years. I could see a ton of really good to great 17 and 18 year olds saying F school and just going that route thi...

Mustard on tater tots is clutch. Has anyone had "fry sauce" before? Ketchup and mayo mixed. It is huge in a few states and actually pretty good.

The parallels between assisting condiments and Lonzo Ball are perfect.

Has to be the NBA. Mentioned this before, but not sure why the NBA Player's Association protects college athletes more than the current dues paying members. For every kid coming into the NBA, some vet has to go. So raise the age requirement to 20? Even though this would likely mean more elite HS pl...

How small is the window exactly? I don't buy that statement at all. Excuse me while I shed a tear for those who stay in college for 4 years all the way to to the ripe age of 22-23 and still make plenty of money whether domestically or abroad in the sport of basketball. Channing Frye and his $58 mil...

I had an old teammate that put mayo on EVERYTHING. I sat there and watched him plop a heaping tablespoon of mayo into a bowl of corn, stir it up, and eat it. The dude had a mini-fridge in his dorm and the only thing in it most of the time was a bottle of mayo. In case you were wondering, he wasn't w...

CJ McCollum and Jimmy Butler are both four-year guys who are NBA stars. Some other solid to star players who stayed three or four years in recent years = Isaiah Thomas, Klay Thompson, Kemba Walker, Damian Lillard, Kenneth Faried, Jae Crowder, Victor Oladipo, Tim Hardaway Jr, Jordan Clarkson, Willie ...

Who was the last 4 year college player that became a star in the league? Only 4 year guys I can think of that are anywhere near stars in the NBA are like Draymond Green, Chandler Parsons and George Hill. And none of them are top stars. The way it works now is that if you stay 4 years in college... ...

So, I'm not really on the train that Miller needs to relax on the reins, but I still see Romar as a positive in dealing with players as follows: with a focused, intense coach, Romar can be a counterpoint and the good cop to Miller's bad cop. Coaching staffs can benefit from this. You have a taskmas...

Cuonzo is the pastor of the church in the hood that lives in a mansion and drives a a mercedes or three. And he is possibly the most overrated / underachieving coach in Pac 12 history. Hat tip for that. Cuonzo is such a fuckin scumbag. And that contract is hilarious. I thought the NCAA was cracking...

Lmao. This is so freakin awesome, cant wipe the smile off my face.

Bowen blew me away in that game. Very impressive. Not much I can say about Ayton that wouldnt be incredibly cliche. I just dont see that kid having many "quiet" nights in an Arizona uniform. Even on an off night, i still see him Ryan Andersoning teams on his way to a double double.

What about Miracle Whip? I live in a largely black neighborhood, and I got nervous when I saw whites come by with their realtors to look at the next door house for sale. When a black family moved in, I was relieved. I was just thinking last night on something related. I was in KMart, and was the on...

I think we all may be guilty to some extent. There are studies that prove this to be correct. People do it with others of our own race too. Our minds are conditioned throughout our lives to think/react a certain way. Perfect example. Scenario A: Midnight and a person is walking in a dark alley alon...

Its kinda hilarious how worked up people get about a douchebag father. You wouldnt want Lonzo on your team because of his loud mouth dad? Thats crazy. Also hilarious to see my fellow white people get so upset at this comment. Like they suddenly now care about racism in this country. Dont agree with...

To Trier's credit he totaled more rebounds and assists in much fewer minutes this past year than he did the year before. One more year of steady improvement and the guy could be a total monster. This. He lost half the year and was undoubtedly markedly better than as a freshman. I get the frustratio...

rgdeuce

I think Trier's defense was a little underrated. He has the potential to be better, yes, but I didn't see him as a defensive liability. With few exceptions, Trier only defended well against UCLA. I'm sure knowing the number of scouts in the stands with the amount of NBA talent on the floor that par...

rgdeuce

I guess the more appropriate question is: Does Miller want them? We here in fan-land know relatively little about the inner workings of the program. Miller knows the players he has coming in. Knows the recruits he's hoping to land. And knows the players on his roster. Maybe he's seen enough of Coma...

rgdeuce

Anybody reading into the fact that Trier tweeted out a bunch of "crying laughing" emoji's shortly after Rawle declared for the draft? Is there a chemistry issue on this team that nobody is talking about? I've been kind of curious about this since about halfway through the year, when several members...

The only reason where in the xavier game is because of dusan. But then again every season needs a scapegoat. No matter what the guy gives you in points, you always have to account what he gives up to his man, what your teammates give up because he didn't do his job or do it effectively, second chan...

Drtg according to sports-reference: Dusan Ristic: 99.7 Chance Comanche: 101.3 Lauri Markannen: 100.4 Keanu Pinder: 94.0 (led the team) So, while my eyes agree with you, Deuce, the stats do not. To be fair, all three of our bigs were average defenders on a team of average defenders. We both know how...

rgdeuce

Interested to hear your take on it Clip.

rgdeuce

Something else: Chance shot .571% from the field and 73% from the line. Dusan .556 and 76% from the line. Obviously Chance wasn't relied upon as much and took roughly half the shots, but next year's team isn't going to be hurting to find buckets from inside or outside with Ayton, Trier and Rawle and...

Marshall is going to run that ish.

rgdeuce

I am REALLY high on Chance and I would be kissing his feet and sucking his toes to stay. I'm sure I have annoyed everyone with my screaming about how he should be starting and getting more minutes than Dusan. He is an upgrade over Dusan as an individual on ball defender, he is a million times over a...

Well, the 14 team had Nick Johnson, and I would argue that he was as quick and explosive as just about any 2 in the country at the time. Not to mention he was a good shooter and an All American. Stanley Johnson was on a 15 team and he was quick himself, plus had the strength to go with it. The issue...

Thing is, come November, Kobe very easily could be 6th man and get 25 minutes a night. He wouldn't start over Trier, guaranteed, but the gap between he and Alkins when both are "right" isn't that big, if there is one at all. In fact, if Kobi played defense the way he is capable, one would have a ver...

rgdeuce

Well if Chance goes, puts a dent in the whole "Miller should go after lower rated players" argument. If this is really about playing time (i dont think it is), its just another reason for me to pick on Ristic. In one of my post loss rants I was saying how i thought the team would be better off if Du...

rgdeuce

Why is everyone ripping chance? Lmao

There is zero chance anyone tells him anything but go back to Arizona. And i dont agree w the "he couldnt even beat out Dusan" thing, because he should have been starting over Dusan for quite a bit of the conference season.

For those questioning the recruiting impact, aside from what has already been mentioned think of this: who is a recruit going to get more excited seeing at a game, calling them on the phone, or talking to mom and dad after a game? Joe Pasternack? Or Lorenzo Romar? One was the head coach at New Orlea...

Only issue is he might be around for only a year or two then go on to be a HC again, and take a recruit or two with him. But hopefully he would not get a big enough job to make the highest of recruits want to join him. Most of his big recruits lately have been one and dones and the odds of a guy li...

I thank my lucky stars every day that I blew my arm out and was never drafted.

All out of love though. Lauri is a much more rounded (defense!!!) and smarter player now than he was in October. Only a few coaches in NCAA basketball who would have him where he is right now and Pekka knows that.

I wish basketball was just like the MLB rule. Go out of HS if you want but if you go to college you stay at least three years. This would be perfect. The baseball law does have a bit of an out for older seniors...it is 3 years or 21 years old. Ben Diggins used that as an out a few years back, leavi...

It's probably my background, but I like to be straightforward about it. I've posted it before, but I played D1 ball with players who left early and were drafted. Some players care about school. Some don't, except to the extent it makes them eligible. All of them want to go to the NBA and would boun...

Wish we could have seen him more than one, and wish we could have gotten all he was capable of giving us. Greatest freshman in school history, looking only at talent/output only?

You got to be dumber than shit or drunk out of your mind to a) fight a guy with a knife unless you are defending yourself from said knife, and b) fight a guy with a knife when he has four friends with him and you only have one.

TJ is only shooting 22% ?! That's pathetic, lol. Even more of a head scratcher is how Rondo is shooting 37%. Always thought he was turrible.

Ignorant and whiny comment: I don't like this new, NBA-centric world where recruits wait to see who declares before committing to program. Go to the best program, compete and learn, earn your way forward, and love the process and where you are. It is more common now and we also get to hear about it...

Gilbert Arenas was the only Arizona player you could call a superstar and it was for a small window of a couple of years. He was one of the most dangerous scorers in the league at that point. Rondae, AG and Stanley are 22, 21 and 20, respectively. These guys were all considered "raw" and drafted on ...

People don't have to run and get tired and stuff. When in actuality, good zone teams expect a constant defensive stance and movement. :lol: We were telling him this months back. The only time I ever preferred zone over man is if I had to guard a guy who was extremely active off ball and I was const...

I almost lost it waiting in line for lunch yesterday.

As for becoming another Indiana, no freaking way we are even close to that or in danger. When we start missing tournaments, stop bringing in top 5 classes (who keep coming, because they know final fours are not the end-all), and stop putting 1,2 and 3 guys into the NBA on pretty much a yearly basis...
