Are you sure that wasn't Arci's actual brother who is on the team?  ;D

Haha yeah.  It was one of the assistant coaches.  I looked at their staff and it was definitely Nardi.

Fair play. Kind of hilarious that for almost 15 years, between Nardi, Arci, Gillespie, and now Arci 2.0 that Nova has had a white dude (that could ball, not a walkon) from the greater Philly area who could all swap each other to play the other in a movie.

Also, Arci yet another person to look at when positively assessing TK's NBA prospects.  They are literally the same size.

Arci Last 2 years at Nova:
Jr: 10.1 PPG, 1.7 RPG, 3.6 APG  on 39/37/81% splits
Sr: 12.5 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 4.2 APG  on 45/39/84% splits

TK Last 2 years:
Jr: 13.1 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 7.6 APG  on 47/40/81% splits
Sr: 15.0 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 7.4 APG  on 49/39/88% splits

Arci was a REALLY good college player on REALLY good Nova teams.  But you can argue that there is nothing that Senior Arci did better than Senior TK.  TK is clearly a superior and more complete PG, player and prospect.

Arci wasn't drafted but became a normal roster NBA player pretty quickly.  Gillespie similar situation, currently on a 2-way, but inferior size to both Arci and TK.  2-way converted to regular deal I think is the floor for TK.  But I still lean to him getting picked in the 40s in June, assuming he leaves.

As a college player, TK is better than Arch, better than Gillespie, better than Zegarowski.

Arguably as good as or better than Brunson was, if we want to step away from just comparing TK to recent white Big East PG standouts. Brunson was a better scorer, but TK is better in assists (by a wide margin), rebounds, steals. Both were tough m-f-ers!

If the first three could get drafted and spend time in the league, obviously Kolek can, too. Brunson ... what a player he's become. It's hard to imagine Kolek approaching that as a pro, but what the heck!

I think its pretty hard to argue that Kolek is better than Brunson - he was national player of the year and a two time first team all American.

I honestly forgot he was national player of the year, and I thought he was only an AA as a senior, so there's my mea culpa.

Stylistically, his game has similarities to Brunson's game as a college player, and he is a better assist man ... but you're right, I went overboard saying he was "arguably as good as or better than Brunson was."

Bunch of rumors out there that Lebron might get traded.

Bobby Portis, Pat C are a good start

LaVine and Ball will return in 2027 to lead the Bulls to a Play In appearace. The future is bright. ::)

Steph Curry just became the third player in the last two weeks to score 60 points in a loss.

Nice little trade for the Thunder, acquiring Gordon Hayward from the Hornets for nothing of substance. When healthy, a solid veteran who can score and play decent D. His contract us up after this season, so no long-term commitment, either.
