This is the part of basketball I really hate. The end of game fouls very rarely works and unless the game is a blowout, it happens all the time.

If it's tight that's one thing but duke really extended that too long. It was over. Take your L with some grace. But it's duke and duke is gonna duke. And that's why everyone fuging hates them.

As a UNCC alum, I see parallels between the Hornets and 49ers.  In the 90's, both were good (not great) teams. They weren't title contenders, but you expected them to be in the playoffs/tournament. And they've both been sh#t shows for the last 20 years.

It's been fun watching 49ers hoops come back to life. Maybe someday that will happen with the Hornets.

It’s time to talk about Dalton Knecht as our pick.  Amazing scorer

Knecht and Dillingham are in my short list of college players that I like.

Like we’re seeing with Miller, guys who can shoot and create their own shot have a high rate of success at becoming a big time NBA player.

UNCC used to be a very solid mid major program. I don’t know what happened. Bad coaching hire and hire? 
 

what sucks though is this day and age of NIL and basically legal cheating - if any UNCC players stand out they might get bought off from better programs.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
