Did you say that after I pulled up the article for you.

Well, there is only one way to prove it.. and I posted that at 1:38 and you posted the links at 1:48, so there you go. And I remember those discussions and know what I said. Do you hear yourself?

That post was from 2018. WTH

You just called me a fricker today and just being honest, still acting like a child just like you were then. I see not much has changed in that regard.

I think he is going to Kentucky..

Just joking, I really don’t know for sure either.

Well hell you told me to look up the threads. I didn’t see the edit until way after the fact.

I called you a fricker for making me look up your post history, but it was just a joke. Don’t be such a crybaby about it. I haven’t changed that much.

Apparently.. I’m sorry discussions of different points of view hurt your feelings. I will be better.

Your Kentucky team just got a good transfer in Grady from Davidson.

I'm highly, HIGHLY confident we will land a good lead guard in the portal. It's just a matter of what their name will be at this point... but Bruce will get us someone we will all be excited about. If we needed two I wouldn't be as sure but getting Jasper early helped a TON.

Im still not convinced Cooper is gone. The last few mock drafts I've seen have him at the end of the first round.

Call me crazy but I didn't see enough from Cooper this year that would make me want to take him as a lottery pick. His outside shooting has a long way to go before I'd even think about it.

I have said this since his first game. I have been told repeatedly how dumb I was. He needs another year of work. Thor is in the same boat. IF the NBA is your dream, develop NBA talent before you give it a shot.

I don’t get this argument. If an NBA team sees the potential they want then they’ll develop the talent. They don’t need a college team to do it for them.

Yep. They’ll gladly take a guy with lotto potential in a later round and develop him themselves or on their G-league team.

I’d probably take Thor before Cooper TBH. Hard to get that size with his ability to put the ball on the floor and his shooting ability.

I’d take Cooper late lottery, personally.

He may turn out good. Just seems small for the NBA and that shooting form is horrible. Going to need some serious work there.

I understand the reservations.. it’s just the high percentage looks he is able to create for teammates comes at a real premium. I don’t think there’s a defender in the world that can stay in front of him and I think NBA spacing will make him look even better

You do realize that there are only two rounds in the NBA draft, right? That is 60 picks. Cooper may be 6' tall. He is a tremendous passer. What else can he do average?

If you aren't going to be a lottery pick, as a freshman, why not come back and improve your game? That in itself will improve your draft grade.


Cooper is projected as a second rounder. Thor is projected as second round/not drafted. What is the allure of coming out when you are looking at these grades?

Cooper

Thor
