Will be a great second round grab, maybe late 1st.

Interesting it's airing on ABC this year, along with ESPN.

Maybe they'll go with what Bill Simmons had suggested with all the actual basketball talk on ESPN and then the family tragedies and other stuff on ABC

June 22nd let’s get it. Rockets picking #1

Moses Moody: 14-41 (34.1% FG), 3-13 from 3pt (23.1%) so far in the tournament.

Context: A lot of that is this game and last game - he’s been pretty bad the last 2 games, and he may have one half left in his college career for GMs.

James Harden shot 3 of 18 thru his 2 NCAA Tournament games.

Just throwing that out there in case anyone thinks these games matter

Every ****in year some people come in here and act like the tournament matters

11 years ago, James Harden didn’t have a good tournament, yeah. That example will forever have staying power, clearly.

Moody has NBA size, shot well from three this year, and just pointing out he hadn’t in the last couple of games is not saying he’ll be a bust. It’s part of the evaluation.

Jaylen Brown **** the bed against Hawaii and he's alright now. I get assessing tournament play as value but sometimes it's not the end all be all.

The tournament doesn’t help determine a NBA career at all, but we have hundreds of examples of ways it has helped prospect’s draft stocks, specifically, when they’ve played well in the tournament (Tyus, Dekker, Hield, Patrick O’Bryant, Denzel Valentine, Jarrett Culver, etc. off the top).

It’s an opportunity that Moody should love to capitalize on because GM’s are dumb and will talk themselves into good performances.

Derrick Williams effect

Donte Divicenzo used to look like one of those guys who just got hot in the tourney but he's an NBA starter despite not being a lottery selection.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If you didn't **** on a prospect before the tournament, don't use the tournament to then **** on him nor his professional potential

Man calm down no I’ll do whatever

 

[jpzx]

Clearly I’m not ****ting on him if you read what I said, I’m saying the tournament is big for draft stock improvement not toward an NBA career. Sure I said he wasn’t shooting well those 2 games, that was the numbers, so what.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Man calm down no I’ll do whatever

Huh? I wasn’t talking to you brah lol I’m speaking in general

 

[jpzx]

Alright whatever

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Starting to get late lottery hype.
