Justin

[zcg2013]

A heat reporter (Brady Hawk) is very in on Justin and would not be surprised if the Heat trade into the second round to draft him.

Makes sense as Heat have had success with Marquette players.

[Uncle Rico]

Like the Heat can evaluate talent

Mentioned this in the mock draft thread, but The Athletic's John Hollinger has the Heat taking Justin at #27 overall.

Anyone that thinks his body language is not something of note is not being honest, IMO. I have watched a lot basketball over the years and I have not heard announcers single out guys on body language very often, yet it was mentioned more than once by an announcer last year. There are intangibles in life and I think it is always best to leave nothing to chance and I think Lewis left that to chance. Who knows, maybe he drops a few spots because of that and the team that gets him ends up an all star player.

You mean the TV anouncers who quote the same facts or pieces of info about a player every game ad nauseum?

Honestly kinda stunned. This isn't a Markus situation where he was older and well, short.

Justin had really good metrics at the combine. His wallet took a massive hit. Woulda made more NIL money somewhere.

I'm quite surprised as well.

Undrafted. Holy s**t did he have the same guys advising him as Vander? Unreal

It was pretty clear shortly after Vander declared that he'd go undrafted.

Justin not getting picked is pretty shocking.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Two-way with the Bulls.

As a Bulls fan works for me!!

The only person in the world who thought Vander had a chance at being drafted was Vander. If the draft was 3 rounds, he still likely wouldn't have been drafted.

[Daniel]

Surprised for sure.   Don't know what advice he got from who but wow.   I feel bad for Justin and wish he could come back.   

[MU82]

Surprised.

But at least the haters are happy.

[Dickthedribbler]

He takes too many plays off. He doesn't go hard all the time. NBA scouts tend to take note of such things.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Bulls are a good spot for him. Shaka and Billy are tight, are they not?

He's still going to make close to 1/2m if he sticks alive with developing against the best talent in the world. It sucks we can't watch him at MU, but from a career standpoint he is still probably better off.

Please provide video evidence of 5 plays he took off. Thanks.

FFS. No one is happy about this.

[GoldenEagles03]

Been saying since the beginning he should have stayed another year. That proved to probably be correct, though it's hard to say he made the wrong decision and it's definitely not because he's lazy.

He just has a lot to work on and always did. That was clear. He was clearly set on the NBA and just wanted to move on to his next chapter. Maybe cost him some Big $$$ but that we will never know. This is his path.

No surprise at all. Y'all can never see the elephant in the room and are always cock sure of your near sighted opinions.
Ultimate green weenie and definitely got a "guarantee," aina?

🙄🙄🙄

Yeah. Not a surprise at all. Since pretty much every mock had him drafted.

I guess the guys doing those mocks should have called you ai'nna?

Yes, no surprise at all when he is in every mock draft and talk he may sneak into the first round.  For a Marquette alum and fan, you sure like cheering against the success of your fellow Golden Eagles.

The dentist somehow knew more than every prognosticator that does this for a living.

And you seems to be enjoying that you were "right" at the expense of the kid getting drafted. Speaks volumes.

[4everwarriors]

Speaking of mocks. Y'all are so quick to mock anyone who holds a different opinion than those who shout the loudest. Hate has no home here, hey?

I heard someone was starting a new message board and sent a letter to scoop about it

Two hot takes in 12 hours, new record!
