Shouldn't be ******* around at the craps table,baccarat is the game

Nah, if you want the best odds in the house just play Pai Gow.

Monk was hot yesterday, but I still see the same flaws in his game.



Lives on tough jumpers, struggles to create high percentage looks in the hzlf court



doesn't matter when he's hot though.

 

[dacomeup]

Isn't that partly due to UK not having a lot of floor spacers? And how much of that is due to what he's asked to do?

Won't matter come March. Still see them as really a two player team.

yeah but he was like that in high school.



you also saw it in the ucla game, and hints of it in that UNC game, handle and instincts aren't good enough to create paint looks.

he's will settle for contested jumpers way too often.



he's only 18 so he can obviously develop that, im just saying right now he's very JR Smith-y to me.p which is both good and bad.

 

[seymore cake]

Fox is special.

 

[awwsome]

Fox is special.

He's a pro for sure, I would take him over Monk.

2nd best PG in the class behind the young king Fultz.

Calipari is still imploring Monk to drive to the basket because, frankly, he can get there almost whenever he wants. He has a rare combination of skill and athleticism where he can drill 3s and also get what he wants when he drives to the hoop.

But NBA executives are torn on Monk.

Some say he's a lock to go in the upper half of the NBA lottery. One even recently told me he'd select Monk with the No. 1 overall pick. But others are concerned about a 2-guard who is 6 feet 3, and they say he'll go in the bottom portion of the lottery because of his lack of size.

Monks averaging almost 22 a game, on 58/42/82%. In less than 30 mins a game. Not too shabby for a "low IQ" player that settles for contested low percentage shots.

What's defined as a low percentage shot depends on who's shooting them. Monk is not forcing bad shots and getting lucky. He picks his spots, and shoots shots that he can hit. And he's been hitting them, every game, consistently.

Now, would I like him to drive more? Absolutely. But to act like he can't create good shots for himself is nonsense. He's been doing it all season.

Fox is that dude, kid is awesome.

 

[B Sox]

Fox is that dude, kid is awesome.

I'd be all for the Celts drafting him if we didn't already have a PG that can't shoot. Fox does everything else very well. He's a gamer.

I was specific; I said he can't create high percentage paint looks in the half court. and he hasn't been doing that. He's been living on jumpers, which is fine because they have been going in...


How many guys can live on contested jumpers like that? He def forces shots, you saw it in the UCLA game, took couple bad 3's down the stretch.




lets wait for the whole season to see how those percentages hold up. I'm not hating on him,

I'm just saying he's got enough flaws in his game where im not ready to anoit Fox and Monk the best back court calls ever had.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

It's really hard to have an effective offense when your PG can't shoot 3's,



Fox is talented, but the lack of a jumper and the frail frame that will make it tough for him to finish on the next level.





This draft class is wierd, it's really deep, and strong, but other than Fultz I see no no doubter all stars.


I have no clue who's going to be the all stars out of Monk, Ball, Markken, Issac, Josh Jackson, Dennis Smith, Giles, Fox, Tatum.




You could convince me it will all of them or none of them.

Let's keep the NBA talk out of here please!

Happens every season but always weird to see draft talk in December , everything gonna be different in a couple months but we never learn

 

[trickster360cj]

Ready to see Giles play

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Ready to see Giles play

I'm not , I wanted him at NC State or UNC

 

[woody2626]

My Old AD from high school who has been Wesleyan's for the past 4 years told me that Harry has been healthy for awhile now but they've been dealing with academic issues. Hes never steered me wrong before but take it fwiw.

 

[wavycrocket]

You have no chance of winning @ Duke.

These ***** be in the bonus before the 15 min mark

Tennessee State should be up by 5 at least. I hate college homecourt advantage vs non conference teams. It's ridiculous.

This TN State team can hang. They should've beat NC State at State the other week. That Mccaw kid on TSU is nice as hell. Mad shifty.

He HAS to be related to Pat McCaw

 

[wavycrocket]

These Duke refs man.....

17-3 FT advantage.....up by 4 at half.

Then his phantom call

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I hate the way Grayson just throws his body toward the rim
