Crazy enough, Steph's last year at Davidson compares quite well to Young's first year at OU. 

If he's there, and we can maybe get a high pick for Walker, I would take Young. 

Yea but a lot of that is inflated from how Young started to how he finished. Look at his numbers from Nov-Dec compared to Jan-Mar and it's night and day. The NBA suits him better, but as long as we have Monk, Young doesn't make sense to me personally.

It makes perfect sense, in the fact that Monk doesn’t distribute the ball well at all. He’s clearly a SG that can fill it up. And Kemba is the same. He doesn’t distribute the ball well. Young on the other hand gets the ball in space to his players. I think he would be he perfect fit with Monk in the backcourt, honestly. Monk would be much better with Young. And Young’s numbers are much worse in the second half of the season because his supporting cast started sucking ass, and not finishing his great passes, so then he started chucking. Like Steph did at Davidson his last year. Except Young is a better passer than Steph was. Does Young need to get better at Defense? Absolutely. But he can do that with Practice, especially since he’s only 19 years old. I’m sold on him, and would prefer him over Mikal “I got locked down by Josh Jackson” Bridges.

Kawhi Leonard

It would be amazing to get him, wonder what the cost would be?  Kemba and Lamb?  Plus our first?  Seems steep but he is awesome.

In that scenerio we have no point guard.

I see quite a few mocks giving us Kevin Knox and although he isn't the greatest athlete I've ever seen wouldnt be too bad.  Good size and length and he can score.  19 yrs old so lots of room to grow.  Guess we could do worse.

I'm okay with Knox and Bridges at this point. With the progression of Monk, no way we go Trae Young at PG now. Dude has progressed so much. I think he could become better than Kemba, honestly.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
