Honestly, it sounds like you are describing Walker Kessler here. Of course, Kessler has a height advantage over Tshiebwe- is that maybe the difference?

Walker has him on height, which has made him a significantly better shot blocker, and even though Walker wasn’t the best from 3 he still showed he has some potential there. Tshiebwe has never made a three in his college career.

ETA: Also to be clear, I’m not hating on Tshiebwe at all. He’s actually an ideal college guy. Good enough to dominate in college but lacking the necessary skills to go high in the draft which keeps him in college longer.

Tshiebwe wasn't going to be close to the lottery and probably not first round. His one skill is rebounding which isn't as useful in today's game where everything is so spread out. Someone referred to him as a C in a PF body and that sums it up. Very limited on both height and shooting range. He would have been great in the 90's but the NBA is way past his playstyle.


He's your classic tweener at the next level.

Sure is. He has no reason to leave. I believe he is the John Wooden player of the year. Dominant game. He will get any NLI deal he wants.

Jay Wright retires as coach at Villanova. He's a young guy to be calling it quits. 60 years old.

Apparently another guy named “Malik” played with the walk ons that will walk on next year.

Finley is a baller though. Looking like Carmelo Anthony lite with his three

frick it, sign him up. He could be more useful to the basketball team than he would be as 3rd or 4th string QB

Lol his three is legit. His handles looked bad though. The clip I saw he looked like he was dribbling like an old man.

Brandon Huntley-Hatfield quotes from 247

quote:

Discussing his trip to Auburn, he said, “Coach Pearl picked me up and I liked that a lot. We drove from the (Atlanta) airport to Auburn with my mom. We went to the facility, they showed me a couple of videos, I met the guys on the team. They showed me around campus to see the dorms, the cafeteria and went to dinner to a nice restaurant.

“I got to play pickup with the guys, which was good,” he noted. “I got out there and got a good sweat. I met with the trainers, the strength staff, the nutritionist and saw the locker room and stuff. Pretty much I saw everything and they showed me film on how I?would be utilized and what Coach BP would require of me so I could get a feel if I could see myself playing for the Auburn Tigers.”


Liked that Auburn was one of the first to recognize his potential in high school and also mentioned that he’s not in a huge hurry to decide since he’s focused on classes right now and finding a fit

He’s a hell of a coach too. I really like watching his teams play.

Yes, like Charles. Charles is who he most reminds me of. "Short" but extremely stout, can run the court, is a monster on the glass and can finish and keep possessions alive around the rim. I fricking hate UK hoops, but absolutely love me some Oscar. I would want him on my team any day, 24 / 7 / 365. All the best to him always and always a complete class act. My two cents. War Eagle and frick UK Hoops. I actually like their football program very much.

ETA, in case you missed it, Charles described how to play defense behind your opponent and how to use your hands. Listen up, Oscar. LOL. Love me all kinds of Charles, always.

Charles tries to explain what it is like when a guy is banging you
