Following Potential 2022 Draftees

Juwan Howard made, and has all season, a several crucial gameplanning errors.. HUNTER DICKENSON DOES NOT DRAW ENOUGH FTA's to warrant 13 FGA's per game...


If they were going to be a team outside the tournament, which is the case anyways, they shoulda played thru Houstan... and took their bumps along the way..

Kobe Bufkin getting 10 minutes per game.. Terrible choice... shoulda let him do his thing, he'd be playing much better and with more confidence..

Moussa Diabate shoulda gotten more minutes, more of the offense shoulda been motion based to let him get downhill from the perimeter and run..



N dont give me the crap about playing the more experienced players when Brandon Johns is still getting 11mpg as a senior.. They chose to play this slow dump the ball into Dickenson n let him do his moves type basketball, and its backfired n the aftermath is extensive. Doesnt make any sense.

And one good SG, like Johnny Davis on Wisconsin comes thru n destroys them... It just shouldnt be.
 
It's basketball, its a season, you take what youve got and try to do the best with it, for the team, for the sake of winning, and when you look at Michigan this szn you see a coach whos got a ton of high ranked recruits n he's trying to showcase one of them..
 
n the more you see these kids getting paid, the more the outrageous promises(lies) that'll be made to lure them into situations that are much higher risk and lower reward then their being sold
 
Jalen duren grabs 4 rebounds today... Memphis loses to a 24.5 year old PG Michael Weathers who played like crap.. they fall to 15-9.. and a 3rd place tie with Tulane in the AAC
 
i swear these updates this season have more of a feel to rorschach journal entries in watchmen type of vibes than i'd ever like.. this season sucks

and u look at the overtime elite league, the player that really i like to keep an eye on is Bryson Warren --- He's got Giannis, Tony Parker and Devin Booker teaching him in a "life skills" class, theres no comparison between that sorta deal where things are transparent and the lies and smoke involved with the college recruitment/courting process, n the players getting paid in college only makes it worse..
 
its less about the game, more about the money and resources, which just means more room for error in the scouting process, players being goaded into signing their names into handicapped positions..

its like these coaches are crooked CEO's trying to fudge the numbers for their next quarterly report to keep investors interest, but instead of quarterly reports its the next years recruiting cycle..


and u can see that pressure on the face of Juwan Howard postgame as they lose to wisconsin, and all his star recruits play like **** n Johnny Davis who was ranked #134 in his class by rivals is clearly the best player on the floor.

whos gonna want to be the next to step up and have their perceived value crushed as Diabate and Houstan have? as Penny Hardaway's done with Emoni Bates.. n the list goes on and on and on and on and on

n the game that should be about the atheletes turns into about the coaches jostling for their next paycheck --- it's stale n stinks of that old man type of stink..

n ya know whats lost... the importance of winning! we're gonna bend over backwards to get all these peices in place and then they expect the winning to just naturally happen.. It's bogus.. the lack of foresight involved when u have literally a staff of "scouts" is staggering..

n hey its not just college look in the Australian league and whats happened to Ousmane Dieng... same type of ****.. this behavior is rampant and it's not really basketball its headline chasing!!!

it's a bunch of grown *** men, chasing headlines, which is to sign the star player and then "ok we've got him, now lets try and make it work"... not we've got a great basketball situation thats perfect and we wanna sign ya... it's much more smoke and mirrors...

part of it is due to the scouting services being ****** at their job too! i swear tho it's all about the headlines, which fuels the scouting service updates as well.. which is just to do that to basketball is preposterous cuz its a flowing game up and down and theres tons of repetition, shouldnt be so difficult.

n they do it in such a misguided, self righteous manner, even in the case of some amatuer athletics, this type of bs is wrought n sowed.

Ryan Kalkbrenner 8/9 from the field, 5 oboards, 2 stls 3 blks in a 1pt win over UVA today...

to quote M. Gustave "You see, there are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity."


this players been underrated for years, Creighton is primed for a nice postseason I hope, they seem to be doing it the right way, or at least better than most.
 
BOOGIE ELLIS AT THE BUZZER!!!! game!!! thats the best he's played all season, he's heating up as we get to tourney time. He can get his shots off! he's slippery and pulls up on a dime and he's liek 6'2 (listed at 6'3") n is pretty good at gambling defensively for steals. N he's gonna be in thaT END OF the 2nd rd or undrafted range, the Jazz will bring him in for workouts for sure..
 
6'8 Julian Champaigne has been going crazy lately... 31 and 27 points in last 2 game.. His brother Justin who;s 2" shorter went undrafted last year but has played in 30 games as a rookie for the Raptors...

Julian might get drafted, n if he keeps playing liek this he certainly will.
 
Malaki Branham is playing lights out again.. actually mistake free basketball from the 6'5 freshman.. its going to overtime cuz he sinks 2 ft's and then sets up Lidell who's playing bad for a dunk with 6 seconds left..

23 points on 7/10 shooting, 8/8 ft's 4ast 2 stls in regulation
 
Branham finishes with 27 in the OT win.. I predicted weeks back he was gonna close out the season strong n work his way into draft convos, looks right on schedule
 
Moussa Cisse is effectively shutting down all of Baylors bigs in the paint rn, the loss of Jonathan Tamchwa is rearing its ugly head, n Ok St is up because of it, not sure what Cisse's draft range would be, players like him greatly benefit from being able to declare get evaluated n the chance to comeback he fits the phsyical profile of a player who can vault up draft boards even as an upperclassman so will be inteteresting to see how his predraft process goes..

Also hard to imagine that he wouldnt be a bigtime priority for teams if he were to enter the x-fer pool. He's an elite shotblocker for sure. 56% FT's on the year which is an improvement for him, hard to believe an uptick to near 65% wouldnt help his stock quite a bit.
 
malakhi branham 31 points on 10-14 from the field yesterday im tellin yall he's gonna make a run for the first rd!!!!
 
Tari Eason is up to #16 on ESPN's best available list!!! The players that i designate as "my favorite player this season", their stock just seems to rise and rise and rise... good stuff..

NBA teams can use players like that it's not some farfetched theory..
