Other than his talent, which I love BTW, I really want to hear bolerjack and harping scream out "Super Mario!" many times a game.

It's unfortunate you missed most of it while you were banned, but I wrote extensively on the subject.
No, was laughing at how dumb of an idea it was/is.
Like "Hahahaha, did you really ever think this was a good idea?".

Since there is two days before the 2nd round of the NCAA Tourny begins, I'm going to give you my top-10 players in this draft with analysis, for anyone that cares.. The first five today and the next five tomorrow:
1. Jabari Parker - I've probably watched Duke play more than any other team this year along with Oklahoma St. Before I start, Jabari is good.. Real good. He has an NBA ready body already. At 6'8 and almost 235 lbs that's the body of LeBron right there. In my opinion, definitely the best player in the draft right now. Can shoot from anywhere on the court and he likes to post up as well. Does it all on the court and doesn't really have much weaknesses. Jabari already has good sense for the game and is NBA ready at this point. If you had to say one thing bad about him is he isn't the fastest or most athletic, but if you watched the ACC Tournament, you might have something to say to that. Consistently can get you 20+ PPG at the next level, I would put him into the category that he could change a franchise around right now.
2. Joel Embiid - Best big man in the draft easily. Has shown very good offensive skills as well as defensive which makes him much more desirable. A two-way player with great size for a big-man. What's not to like? The bad thing is he hasn't really put him huge numbers like Wiggins hasn't. I believe he can be in the double-digits in scoring and rebounding averages per game in the NBA as well as 2-3 blocks per game. The good thing for Embiid is that big men are hard to come by in the NBA, but the downside as well is the recent busts of big men; Oden, Thabeet, etc. Hopefully he isn't injury prone and can come back strong as ever. Not much to say here, but he has so much potential going forward and already is polished with his moves. One downside along with injuries is he can get a little bit quicker.
3. Andrew Wiggins - Not even gonna lie, I am really disappointed in what Wiggins has done this year. With all that hype coming into college he hasn't really impressed. I really don't want to put him here at #3, but based on potential alone and what he has done the past couple of games without Embiid puts him here. Superior to anyone else when it comes to athleticism for sure. Has shown that he can be a dominant scorer at times this year, but also hasn't. One thing I have to say is he is limited with touches because of all the talent he has around him. Not much to say about him because the jury is still out, but right now he is #4 and still has a lot to prove. Seems really skinny, but obviously (see Durant) that can be overcome. Still can be a franchise player and still is a top-5 player in this draft, just needs to prove he can be in the NCAA Tournament.
4. Dante Exum - We have some footage of him as well as the Hoops Summit, but he has so much raw talent at such a young age. At 6'5 and 190 lbs he has pretty good size for a guard, built like recent stud Carter-Williams. I'm going to get on Wiggins for his weight, so I need to for Exum as well, but for a guard that isn't bad size at all. So smooth with the ball and so athletic as well. At the Nike Hoops Summit I was very impressed with him as well as the announcer was, who said his athleticism is reminiscent of a young Jordan. There is so much there for Exum and I wouldn't be upset at all if the Jazz got him in the draft. With the great success of Giannis lately, how can anyone brush off Exum as someone who can't be a superstar one day? I'm intrigued at what he can become to add on to what he already is.
5. Marcus Smart - As already mentioned, along with Duke I have watched Oklahoma St. a lot. Sure, anybody can say there are red flags with his personality and what not, but we truly do not know the circumstances of it. Anyways, Smart passed up millions to come back to college to get better and to win a title. He has really benefited from coming back and has shown that he is one of the best players in the country. Great size for a guard, built like James Harden and is a dynamic scorer. Smart can play point guard, but the real question is can he play shooting guard? I think he can, but I guess it really depends on the team. A good play maker and I really wanted to put him higher on this list, but we'll see what happens in the tournament and everybody knows that it can help and hurt players a lot.
