NSJ and Black played like they were trying to raise their NBA stock. Both shot the ball everytime they touched it and they had 1 assist between them.

I may be in the minority here but they both need to come back for 1 more year. I get it. The NBA sees potential but neither of these guys has an NBA offensive game.

NSJ is explosive but has no offensive identity. AB CAN NOT shoot from the outside. He also sucks at FTs

No way does that make sense, just like it didn't for moody or jaylin Williams. They can get better doing it as their job while getting paid instead of pretending to do school for another year. Selfishly, I wish they all stayed and we won Natty's every year, but it isn't smart for them to stay if they are projected lottery picks

And BTW, we should hope they go as high as possible and all are incredibly successful in the NBA because it means talent will keep flocking here

I think Smith's biggest problem is in game pressure to "be the man." When he warms up he hits everything but wilts in game situations. He needs to learn we don't need him to be THE MAN but instead be one of the men.

How bad would it look for muss if he had 3 or 4 guys with first round potential and they all fell out of the draft....

It's really frustrating since nothing that happens on the court, outside of injury, is knocking him out of the lottery.

He’s playing just a little too fast. Pull up at the elbow and jump off of two feet. No need to make everything a runner

He's playing super spazzy right now. Need to play more at Moody's tempo.

I freaking loved Muss last night in the locker room. No "enjoy this one tonight" nonsense. "Put their depth chart on the walls right now!"

If nick can find some efficiency we won't rely on turnovers as much, which will be key against Kansas

It sounds like you conflated NBA potential with something else.

Not sure why some of you are so asshurt/obsessed with this kid but that's a you problem.

Someone tell me if we have a chance against Kansas. If Bill Self isn't there, I would say our chances drastically improve.

This has nothing to do with basketball but Tom Cruise is at Oaklawn this weekend. Evidently he has a horse that’s gonna race or something. Just putting it out there in case any of y’all were big fans.
