I actually think Boler's corniness has a charm to it, but his beat-it-to-death-ability (no pun intended) will get old quick.

Also, on Locked on Big Board, Barlowe posted snippets of his GG and Cason interviews.
GG Jackson's agent is his mother. When asked did they pick his mom, he said something along the lines of "She's really smart. She's always been really good at test. Like if you ask her a question she gets it right 75% of the time".
So yeah, it makes sense why GG made a bad decision going to South Carolina.

Trust me dude, the Jazz announcers arent going to be making Dick jokes. (which will make it funny).
The annoying part will be the posters here who think they are funny with their jokes.

We will have to make an agreement that the Dick jokes need to be creative or extra funny… not super obvious. It’s like golf… there are like 10-15 opportunities to say that’s what she said every hole… the placement of the phrase can still be funny but it will have to be unique and well timed.

Okay… it does not bode well for the rest of his career if she continues to be his agent. South Carolina will be the first of many horrible decisions.
Ehh, I dont think agents matter all that much once they get to the right team. GG is working out with a good trainer, so they at least they got that right. Millsap's agent was his uncle I believe. Family member agents arent always a negative.
Would be great to combine them. I love Sidy, but it's going to be years before he is getting his own baskets in the half-court at the NBA level (if ever).
GG sounds like a good kid, but maybe not the brightest bulb (not in a dumb way, just very young). Sounds like someone who could be very coachable IMO if you give him the right structure.

Dude definitely sounds like a high IQ player. Looks like Jimmy Butler at the mid-major level.
Great option for Summer League and maybe a G League or 2 way deal, but I doubt we would need to buy into the 2nd round to pick him up.
Possibly. I know he is going to the GLeague Elite combine and if he shows out there he will be invited to the NBA combine

A kid like GG needs another voice… I’m guessing you don’t have a son or a baby momma… cuz if you did you’d know that relationship is different than an Uncle or even dad. My son is 15 and constantly walks all over his mom cuz she doesn’t have it in her to follow through on consequences… it’s not unique to our family either. I’ve seen it many times where moms in an effort to love and protect their sons… are unwilling to correct them when need be or allow them to feel the consequences of their actions. Maybe she’s the tough love type but GGs immaturity and attitude very much need a voice in the room telling him to change some things. I will add that to the pile of red flags homeboy has accumulated.
I can tell you are white by this sentence.
This is kind of the opposite in a lot of minority households.

If Amen had just a functional outside shot, I’d have zero problem taking him second in the draft. It’s definitely possible for him to develop that. I could see a team getting an absolute steal if he drops a little.

Lol I don’t think it’s race specific… it’s biological. She may be the tough love type… that exists in many cultures. That boy is literally a piece of her walking around… he literally came from her. What evidence do we have from GG that he has someone guiding him and hitting him with truth bombs. I get what you are saying but either way there is a HUGE amount of conflicting emotions and they already botched one decision pretty hard.
I’ve participated in youth sports and white, black, Asian, Hispanic moms all see their sons different… some tough… some can’t figure out why coach aint playing them when they suck or need to fix stuff.
Also smart people know what they don’t know… and know when they are in over their heads. If she wants to operate as a business manager that’s fine but he needs a few outside voices beyond his mom.

Racialism. I think that some white parents are also disciplinarians and some minority parents are kind, easy going parents.
In America it's a very cultural thing.
Sure, there are, but generally speaking white kids "walk all over" their moms way more than in minority households. It's a completely different dynamic in terms of disciplinary respect from a typical white household and minority household.
