If I'm a GM in the NBA drafting youngsters on potential I'll take Walsh over NSJ all day.

Walsh has that sort of Rodman style of tough D and picking up garbage on offense. Impossible to teach.

NSJ has a lot of offensive potential, but there are red flags about his mental toughness.

Best thing I saw from NSJ was staying engaged on the bench. Makes me think he’ll willingly accept a lesser role unless things start clicking for him.

Nick played good D when Devo fouled out. I appreciate he stayed committed to a team win

NSJ returned this season because his mental toughness.

He is playing right now through a hurt knee.

He missed practice because knee pain in the last few days.

He wanted to come back and play even others wanted him to shutdown the season.

This kinda shite from Arkansas fans is tiring.

I really do not understand the mentality of some of these posters.

This thread is a joke.

I get your sentiment but this thread isn't actually that bad. Just talking about play on the court at least. We've had people taking personal shots and NSJ and Devo all year for no reason

He’s making a million and totally underperformed. Let him sit.

What a low fricking bar that is.

This thread is just another of strange response threads involving the insecurities of middle aged men.

One might think after some of yall had to be told to stfu about Devo and how he has been playing that it might be obvious not to turn around and start shitting on another of our players.

What in the actual frick?

Keep telling us NSJ will be good and worth all the drama and 1M dollars.

We’re all waiting.

You guaranteed Nick wouldn't play again.

You then made ridiculous claims about his defensive effort.

You're the real bitch.

Until he played lockdown defense after Devo fouled out.

Awesome.#1 prospect, zero points for an entire game. Crown him the king. Might as well play pinions.

There's clearly criticism to be had of Nick's game, but questioning his commitment and effort doesnt make sense to me. The kid has played through injury and put in maximal effort to help us win.

You keep throwing out all these strawmen. Nobody ever guaranteed anything.

You got all in your emotions over the money I guess.

And, for some strange reason, tried to play Skip Bayless with your stupid guarantee that made you look foolish.

Personally, I would have stfu after that but you do you.

He’s a teenager. Nobody knows how good he’ll be in 3-5 years. He’s clearly not one of the top 10 players in college basketball right now but his ceiling is still very high.

We have games to play so he may change my mind, but I've seen nothing from him I would be willing to invest millions of dollars in.

Starting with his defense. He has been piss poor at slowing anyone down.

Do you not understand he’s making 1M?

He didn’t play through shite. He got called out by his contract and his draft stock going to shite.

Wake up.
