If State could make the tournament I could see them having a long run. They have a post presence in Burns. If guys could hit 3's they a have team that could advance very far.

 

Not sure they can win the ACC tournament though, so they likely won't get in.

If Burns dropped 40 or 50 pounds he'd be a real player. Hell, he could probably afford to lose 80. The dude is good. He's just fat.

I've said it before and will say it again, Bacot is a really good college player, but he's not a modern NBA big.

Nope. And it's great for us. And great for him now with NIL.

I'd recruit all the Armando Bacots and RJ Daviss I could get. Cadeau is another one. Give me all those really good college players who are going to give me 3-4 years over the one and doners.

I don't give a single fug about the NBA game so I don't care.

It's so obvious what we need to be doing against this team. Feed Bacot.

Hubert has done a much better job this year but his next step as a HC is to get better at exploiting advantages. We tend to just kinda do what we do regardless of the opponent. When you have a clear advantage in a game play through that advantage.

I'd rather see the guys play 3-4 years of college too, but it doesn't work that way for the big name players anymore. They want to be in the NBA and getting paid.

I get it. That's why I'm more than happy to let the dukes and Kentuckys have them for a year. I'll take the RJs and Bacots.

      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.
