Davis is a great college player but I don't think he has the size to be an NBA player. That said, I also wouldn't be surprised to see him get at least one NBA contract as a 3 and D guy coming off the bench because the NBA always wants scoring.

He's absolutely not an NBA player but I could see him having a long successful international career.

Well, we gave 'em hell for 30 minutes. I think we have to be happy with that. That's the new state of Carolina basketball. From competing for titles to hoping to compete with top teams and maybe get lucky and sneak into the tourney. That's the new reality. Hubert has turned us into NCSU.

This game is also showing the downside of the modern game, too many 3s. If you're knocking them down, the game is too easy. If you're missing and keep jacking them up, you shoot yourself out of the game.

Been trending this way for years. Growing up college basketball was by far and away my favorite sport. I've been pretty Carolina only for over a decade now with my college basketball watching. I used to NEVER miss a Carolina basketball game and in recent years I always miss several games. It's just less of a priority for me now. I haven't watched a full NBA game in probably a decade. The sport is just a shadow of itself now. That's why Armando Bacot is my favorite player in recent years. The type of old school hard nosed big man that just doesn't really exist in the modern game.

Bill Laimbeer would be banned from the modern NBA lol.  It's terrible.  Bring back the 90s rules.

I remember Phil Jackson saying 15 years ago that Michael Jordan would've averaged 50 a game in the league at that point and the game has gotten exponentially softer since then.

I am still disappointed in the Hubert extension.  The team is mostly a three point shooting offense and the defense has no ingenuity at times.  It feels like he doesn’t understand his or the other team’s strengths or weaknesses much at all.  Frustrating cuz there is some talent but he is out recruited consistently too

It was an idiotic move. He should've been on the hot seat and gets a big extension instead.

Meanwhile, a year after going to the Final Four NCSU fired Kevin Keatts.

That was a fluke run just like Hubert’s run to the Championship game his first year.  Granted State has sucked balls for decades so the 1st real success they had enough lol

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
