NCAA Hoops Thread '21-22

I hope Penny waited for Nate Oats to shake his hand.

I'm in the market for a new car in mid 2022.  The new all Mustang Mach-E isn't on my radar  cause I still don't love American made cars and I'm not seeing total value in all electric for me at this point...but I'm aware of it.  See how that works?

I'm sure the dude knows who Johnny Davis is.  I'm sure he knows what he's like as a player.  He isn't in their consideration set in the top 10 picks when they have a SG they like and maybe don't think Davis is lottery value at this point.

Why is that so hard to understand?  Or is it just open season on Billy cause of some of his other takes?

No NBA personnel executive has written off Johnny Davis at this point.  The draft is six months away and there are three whole months of college basketball left to play...scouting combines, personal interviews, etc. etc. etc.

2. your friend is a moron and in a dereliction of his duties, or - focus is on top ten guys since that's where they'll be picking (probably higher). Focusing on a fringe lottery pick who is at a position where they're set would be the dereliction of duty.

Nobody has a set list of "top ten guys" with no room for someone who may be a "fringe lottery pick"....in December.

In Billy's defense, his scout friend did say the team was "set at Davis' position".

However, any front office worth anything would have contingency plans in case of injury or decline in performance for whatever reason.  Coupled with possible roster changes between now and then as well would also behoove a front office to be fully vested in any and all potential draft picks.

The truth is, I doubt any good scout shares a lot of worthwhile information with friends

[LAZER]

Reports of Memphis' demise seems to be premature...or when you have insane talent sometimes they will just win a game themselves

In fairness they've been pretty bad to start and they've left themselves with little wiggle room for an at large. Another win against Tennessee this weekend will go a long way. It'll be interesting to see Bates' minutes going forward.

But again, his exact words were "not on their radar yet".  I don't know why people are losing their minds over this except for the poster.

He said they feel set at the 2 and don't feel he's one of those "can't pass" regardless of position guys. And it's not their focus right now.  Not that he has no potential.  Not that he will absolutely never be a lottery pick.  Just his guy's NBA FO take.

Just feels like they have decided Billy:Chicos and want him to be so full of it that they are reaching to describe additional meaning where there was none.

my concern as a person scouting johnny is speed and quickness, stuff ya can't teach

Did you even see him waltz by our supposedly good, quick defenders?

[cheebs09]

Given that this team is solidly in the lottery, maybe we are giving the front office a little too much credit.

Nicholls State up on the Bagders 30-24 at the under 4:00 of the 1st half.

Johnny Davis maybe early season MVP.

Badgers without him look dreadful.

Yes, they are.

I wonder if Jordan Davis will be unGarded when his brother turns pro.

[MuggsyB]

Make that 37-28.  Hopefully the Colonels bring it in the 2nd half. 

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Yes, they are.

Give him a track scholarship.

[JWags85]

Jordan makes Wally look like Larry Bird

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Jordan makes Wally look like Larry Bird

Impossible.  The badgers are above offering untalented players scholarships just to land their talented brothers. Their fans have informed us of this many times

[MuggsyB]

Upset Alert:  Did someone disparage the Anteaters?

[Spotcheck Billy]

Badger fans got a glimpse at what next years team might look like although some I know think they'll be OK because 3 players are red shirting this year.
Who else red shirts 3 in a season?

[Herman Cain]

Give him a track scholarship.

Jordan was better at Football and supposedly The Badgers had interest in him for football . Don't know if it was scholarship or preferred walk on

[MuggsyB]

Davidson beat Bama.

I'm actually considering one of those. Waiting to see if the BBB passes and the tax credits increase to $12,500.

Oh yeah, my buddy's team has a guy at the 2 signed long term with a $31 million cap hit. They need a 4 in the worst way, which is why he's scouting Baldwin in person.

I know he has the height to be a 4, but doesn't Baldwin project to a 3 in the NBA?

Johnny Davis at 9th in the latest Yahoo Sports mock draft.

I'm trying to figure out who Billy's friend works for. Right now I'm guessing OKC.

Blazers.  McCollum is on the books at $30.9M and their PF situation is Covington/Larry Nance, neither of whom are a long term solution.  If anyone is not interesting in a scoring guard in the lottery, it's the Blazers

That makes sense. Thanks.
