We've got some legitimately good options at the 1 and 2 this year I think regardless of which ones it ends up being. We already know Denver is good.. can he make a leap?

I agree. The experience we have is great some of it proven on this level. I’m excited about what this team can be. However for any player that goes ANY including players such as Broome and CBM. Show me. Do it on the court.

Broome we all know got one hell of an NIL deal. Does he just sit back and say I’m sweet for life if I manage my money right or does the fire still burn deep to dominate. Can CBM be that aggressive gnat on defense without getting caught up in emotion and create bad situations for his teammates. We could go through each player.

I think we have a top 10ish squad. But they have to do it on the court. That’s where I’m at.

I trust Tahaad more because his success is driving to the basket and creating his own shots not living/dying by the 3.

In other news. Jt Thor was waived today by the hornets and is a free agent. Possibly could get picked up for a summer league team but probably headed overseas

To me, Denver should have been option 1 on offense at guard.

IF he can maintain effective production with more touches, he will be all SEC.

He’s a good 3 point shooter. He can slash, and Denver is a great free throw shooter.

Really wish he would have hung around another year. He was good but really raw and could have been great with a year under his belt.

Also never forget his first NBA bucket.

He does have a good looking shot/release, imo. I'm excited to see the backcourt this year.

Cooper Flagg with Duke this year is gonna get the ESPN diaper dandy hype machine going as much as ever. Gonna be sweet if we can go to Duke and knock them off.

Seriously though, dude is a stud. Just saw a video of him on Twitter going on a personal 5-0 run against Team USA.

What a great schedule looking at it from a fans perspective. Should be battle tested.

Yep and last year proved you’re better off scheduling hard in the long run. Aside from battle testing you, the committee showed that you’re better off losing to elite teams than beating average ones.
