Hope you like it!

Thank you Kentucky for just being you. Skip to 0:25 for the goods.

Turns out the driver’s name is Tommy Callahan...

 

[HalfullVol]

honestly, that should be World News.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Grant officially staying in the draft.

 

[JohnD13]

Grant is staying in the draft. Best of Luck

 

[jakez4ut]

kinda hard not to, being projected top 20 pick. hope nothing but the best for that guy.

 

[Aesius]

Time to earn that money Ricky Barnes

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Grant staying in the draft, good for him. Sad to see him go though.

I'm torn about Bone now...part of me wants him to go undrafted so he'll return, but then part of me also would rather him get drafted. If we end up with 3 guys getting drafted that'll only help recruiting, and hopefully Barnes continues to be successful.

Bone should get drafted. JJ and Lamonte will carry the load next year

Getting guys drafted is critical for recruiting. Even if we have a disappointing season next year, Barnes could point to the draft and easily sell this staff’s ability to develop nba prospects

Bowden too. Plus I think at least two of Fulky, Johnson, Pons, Kent, and Burns will take a big step forward

I’ve actually been hearing that Zack Kent has been unbelievable. He dealt with an injury this past year and the staff has been really impressed with him so far

 

[901LookAlive]

Bowden will be the best player on the team.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Get that money, Grant. Love him - can’t wait to follow him in the league.

 

[drvenner]

Couldn't stand LA.
Well, LA may've been alright, was the humans inhabiting it.

The people in Lower Alabama are coming to get you now.

 

[Garren04]

Bowden will be the best player on the team.

I meant at PG

 

[drvenner]

War room on Kingston Harris

Buried on the depth chart for sure, now.

 

[drvenner]

All the best to Grant. True VFL. I am beyond appreciative for the his time here as a great basketball player and as an even better person. Make that money.

 

[Vols4us]

Good luck to all three of our B-ball VFL's. Hope they light it up and make the big bucks in their careers. CRB will deliver another winning team next season.

Good luck to the Diamond Vols today and tomorrow. Hope they can win at least one of the two, but proud of them regardless of what happens. They took a major step forward this season.

Football 'cruits. Need some good ones.

 

[ChismsHeadband]

Good luck to Grant.

I want him to go to an Eastern Conference team so that I won't hate who he plays for. But I won't get to see much of him if he does. Seems I see far more WC games than East teams play.

It'd be awesome if the Grizz draft Morant and then acquire Grant as a piece in a Conley trade.

 

[RikidyBones]

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yoooo....Bone is for sure getting drafted.

6'-3" (in shoes)
42.5" max vertical - 2nd
36" standing vertical - 1st
9.97 sec lane agility - 1st
3.03 sec 3/4 court sprint - 1st
2.78 shuffle drill - 1st

Cliffs: he fast, the fastest player at the NBA combine in fact

Grant's vertical was surprisingly weak, 26" standing and 31" max, Admiral was 30" standing, 34" max. Either of them jump like Bone they'd probably be lottery pick potentials.

Grizz better not mess up this draft. Get Morant and be happy. I worry simply because Grizz's draft history is pretty terrible (excluding last year with Jaren Jackson who could turn into a big time player).

Hope they do trade Conley and get some solid value in return. I've read that Conley does not really want to be a part of a rebuild towards the end of his career anyways.

I’ve actually been hearing that Zack Kent has been unbelievable. He dealt with an injury this past year and the staff has been really impressed with him so far

Hearing the same, I think them being cautious with his injury was smart. They really wanted to wait until he was 100% before he played, and unfortunately that didn't happen during the season. We had Grant, Kyle, Fulky, Walker and even Admiral so it was smart of this staff to keep out Burns and Kent looking ahead to this season.

I'm not sure yet how they plan to use James, I expect Turner to run the point to begin the season with Bowden/James playing the 2. I figure Kent is probably starting at the 5 if he's healthy with Burns and Fulkerson battling for the 4 spot (as the roster sits now).

ORN I think ends up earning some playing time...Pember & Gaines seem likely RS candidates. Knowing Grant & Bone are both now gone I expect staff to land another big someone who can play a 4 or 5...feel like we have plenty of guys who can play 1-3.

Guards: Turner, James, Bowden, Jalen, Pons, & ORN (Gaines on the bench as a RS)
Forwards: Burns, Kent, Fulkerson (Pember on the bench as a RS)

That's 11 spots if my numbers are right. 2 spots, available with Walker transferring.
