Getting serious for one second (sorry), I now do see why so many folks said Joey could end up being better than Sam.

Thrilled to have this kid in our program. Double-thrilled to have both Hausers.

Thanks, Bo!

Interesting.

FWIW, Markus not on the board at all.

Joey will not be off the draft charts for long. High ceiling for the kid.

I think Markus is so low because of his height, and that he really doesn’t have much at all to offer at the next level other than his scoring talent, which will be even harder to use with the added height and athleticism of defenders at the next level

to be fair Nate robinson made a decent little career being a short guy that could only offer scoring

Markus is a poor man's Kemba Walker.

Their games and body types are similar. Kemba, however, has an amazing handle and, to return to the theme of most of this thread, a huge set of onions. Markus is a better pure shooter than Kemba was at this stage.

I hope he is off the draft charts for the next 3 years.

Who cares? It's a junk award anyway.

Kemba Walker led the nation in scoring his junior year I believe, at least he was at the point I got to see him come in to the Bradley Center and leave with a win in 2011. He’s also 2 inches taller than Markus, and averaged twice as many steals, and was a slightly better distributor going on their assist numbers. Only way I see Markus getting drafted is if he leads MU on a run that could hope to be even close to the one that Walker led UConn on to win the title in 2011. Markus is a better pure scorer than he was at the same stage but nothing else.

Also, Nate Robinson was extremely athletic. He had a huge vertical and was really strong. That's not Howard.

I wouldn't argue any of this.

Hence: Poor man's Kemba Walker.
