My sub fifteen quip was aimed at people on the board who doubt his stock, not analysts. Portland is his only workout post combine, but I meant the combine too. The point being he’s moving up, not down.

Every team that has worked out DK, has been blown away. For all the people who think he will fall outside the top 15, I think you’ll be surprised. The rumor is that teams are sneakily moving him up the board, and there are a couple of teams willing to trade up to get him. I think the smart take...

Yes

Kenton Deverman is a great pitcher, and someone TV had his eye on in high school. He’ll be tough to beat.

Westerberg vomited on the wall at Ardent.

Fan is short for fanatic. Highs and lows are part of the ride.

I still believe the adage that there are two trees of prototypical point guards: The Bob Cousy tree, and the Oscar Robertson tree. Both are valid, but I prefer a guard who works relentlessly to improve the odds of one of the other four guys scoring, and wears down the other teams guards on...

I think this is a real possibility. Estrella was surging at the end of the year, and coaches contemplated him getting more minutes prior to Aidoo and Awaka leaving. Estrella has been working with a private coach, specifically on back to the basket offense. I can see him splitting or exceeding...

I agree he’s confident, and I hope he has a great year.

Our data sample on Carr is so small, it’s impossible to extrapolate how he’ll do. He took and hit a shot with confidence. I hope he does more of that. Who knows.

This is in the zone, but there’s truth in what BTO said too. When he met with Davis for dinner, they said Barnes would rein him in and he wouldn’t play or score. They asked him to visit Chapel Hill, and told him the NIL would be better too. Tyson called us back, and shared that. Our staff told...

I’ve mentioned this before, but most players change their shot under Barnes. They do not necessarily change mechanics, but simply learn via drills to optimize stroke, raise release point, and increase arc. DK is an example of this. Early in the season, you’d see highlights of him shooting over...

Sometimes this forum reads like a Cliff Clavin speech.

“When Ducklings Charge” is my favorite Hemingway novel.

Sure thing. Let me know if you need anything else explained.

If Gainey gets minutes, that means he earned them.

Or December.

Having an agent is normal business now. It didn’t hurt anything. The team is going to welcome Lanier, and I don’t think NIL will ever be brought up if he’s the player and leader they think he is. I like that ZZ was involved both days. This is going to be his team.

Yes. These days going through the NBA process benefits from having an agent. Particularly if you don’t get called into the combine. They are able to get private workouts and feedback and pave the way for the following year. Him having an agent is just part of the process. I just thought it was...

The condensed version is that he contacted us in December. He always wanted to come here. When he and his mother spoke to Barnes in the Spring, he said he was going to be a Vol. They discussed his NIL with Spyre. It was basically the DK deal. Everyone was happy with that. The grad transfer...
