Oso planning to go pro
6-10 guy with a decent outside shot who can handle the ball. I'm not saying he'll be an all star or that he's unbelievably athletic but I certainly think he'll get his cup of coffee.
Cup of coffee? Sure. 200 games like Dekker? I doubt it.
Yeah, I mean I am sure Izzo is going to get more out of him than what we saw his freshman year, but I didn't see an overabundance of athleticism from Joey.
Oh yeah I highly doubt he gets 200 games just think that he gets there.
I think work ethic and lack of entitlement leans severely in the favor of the Hausers over Henry.
Work ethic maybe. But lack of entitlement? These are the guys who left because our go-to guy happened to be one of the NCAA's all-time leading scorers. And Sam had already been here a couple of years before Joey showed up and 'noticed' Markus. C'mon.
The left to go to the two most selfless teams in the country. I would see your point more if they ran off to Iowa State or Nebraska but when you leave for UVA and MSU, that tells me you want to play the game a certain way. No different than Jimmy Butler working his way to the Heat.
What about Joey Hauser's freshman year makes you think he can sniff the NBA?
4x BE Freshman of the Week?
4x BE Freshman of the Week? Sure, Ja Morant made him look silly, and his whiny attitude contributed to a 2nd half of the season tailspin, but there is a lot of talent there.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
How many player of the week/month/year awards did Markus win? Are they going to help him make the Association? There is a lot of talent there.NBA value is based on who you can defend, and I honestly don't see either player being able to defend well enough to stick with a roster.
Most college BB fans don't understand this point.
Lol. Sure. Nothing says NBA ready like being the BE Freshman of the Week, not once, not twice, not even three times. ..BUT FOUR TIMES!!!!
My mistake, Joey actually won BE Freshman of the Week 5 times, not 4. Markus won the award 3 times. Both were named to the All BE Freshman Team.I agree that it is unlikely that either is good enough to stick, but IMO both have enough talent to have a chance of a sniff at the NBA, which was what the question was.
But you didn't say that you thought he had the talent to get a sniff. You said Joey winning this award as a freshman means that he'll sniff the NBA. By that logic, anyone that wins a BEast Freshman of the week should be able to sniff the NBA. Haanif made the all-Freshman team, was that enough for him to sniff the NBA?
What way does Michigan State play? Hope he likes playing with a bunch of one-and-dones looking to get to the Association
MSU has the occasional one and done but we’re not talking UK or Duke here. The last I can remember is Jaren Jackson, Jr. But Valentine and Winston were BT POY and four year guys.
