Psyched about the future of Marquette hoops

[MUbiz]

Name names.

I want to see what happens with Chase next year. If he is a little more consistent from deep, I could easily see him making the league.

Where is the reference to going before their senior year?

I think both seniors could potentially play in the league at some point and I own it.  I want to know who said they might go before their senior year.

Just look at the timestamps of the quotes. Chase was May 2023.

But he never said he might go before his senior year. 

It is entirely possible we are using different meanings.  I am reading it that JB is claiming somebody thought Ben or Chase might leave after their junior year.

It appears you are looking for people who predicted early that they might eventually play in the league.

Put me in that category.

Hope Ben is good enough for the NBA.  I was like Tower and thought it was a possibility,  but i haven't seen the mental toughness or desire to take over a game yet. So I am now questioning my original opinion.  My hope is that I will see that in his final year at MU.  Being a role player is one thing.  Being an elite college player is another.  Fingers crossed.

I didn't say it in so many words, but I posted this a couple months into Chase's freshman year:

I think the Jones/James and Gold/Hauser comparisons are choices of convenience, but Chase screams first year Jimmy. I made the same comparison in a chat the other day. Has the length and athleticism to be a stud, and very clearly an NBA player. He has to the moon upside.

I thought him going early was a very real possibility. Still think injuries might be the only reason he's still here.

His table is set.

I would be very surprised if he doesn't have an amazing all around season and hear his name called on draft night.
He will definitely look the part walking on that NBA stage too.

Fingers crossed for good health.
He's earned this moment and he's ready for it imo.

same.

Add me to the list of people who thought Ben Gold had NBA potential.  6-11 shooters are a valued commodity.

But time is running out. While Ben has developed into a serviceable starter, he hasn't made the leap to college star.  He just wasn't assertive enough last year, failing to demonstrate NBA ability.

Chase has the defense, athleticism, and enough shooting to be an NBA role player. But can he be the college star Marquette needs this year?

No

Would be awesome to see Chase or Ben make the NBA next year via the draft. Would be the first time Shaka had an MU player who had exhausted college eligibility get drafted.
