He's gonna be a lottery pick. I can't stand dumbasses that don't understand how and why NBA teams draft players.
Same type of people that read a box score and think they know the whole story.

I give him props though for coming back, I dont think he is 100% and even if he is he is rusty. Devo is playing better than him right now by a lot but Smiths future looks bright.
The mental aspect from NSJ is what’s most concerning. Consistent poor second half play, bad decision making in high leverage situations, disappearing in massive games and a major problem shitting or getting off the pot in terms of his ability to play.

Anthony Black is just as big of a prospect and he’s been playing with half an ankle. Just comes off a bit soft at this point in his development.

Here is how I see NSJs future. He is going to lay an egg in at least one more college game. He just doesn't show up in big games. Some players show up big in big games, he doesn't.
He will declare for the draft because his advisers(clingers) wont let him play one more year of college, which he desperately needs. They want the money now.
He will get drafted by some team that puts him in a booty development league hoping he will develop the skills he should have developed in college.
Unfortunately for him, after about 3-4 years of displaying an amazing lack of talent, he will get cut.
He will end up back home with no NBA contract, no degree, and no job prospects, all of which could have been prevented with a couple more years of college ball. Its a sad deal when this happens, but he won't be the first to deal with it, and damn sure won't be the last.

How did Brandon Miller look after 15 games?


Pretty fricking good from my recollection.

NSjr is a selfish one and done. All college athletics are in the crapper because nil and early leaving


If he was selfish he wouldn't be playing right now. He's clearly still dealing with his knee injury and is playing as much as he can for his team.

It's more selfish that you're wanting a kid to pass on guaranteed generational wealth to satiate your fandom.

You can see it in his eyes. I wish him the best, but he hasn't done shite to impress me and has been exactly what my NLR/Sylvan Hills people said he'd be if he didn't get some humility and coaching.

He wasn't going to get all that NIL money if he didn't come back. Then he came back and thought everything should be about him or so I hear. That's hearsay so take it with a grain of salt, but team chemistry did seem to go to shite when he came back.

Well sure, one has played barely a month of games due to injury and the other is a junior that has started every game since freshman year.

Nobody twisted his arm(maybe his clingons) to take that scholarship and NIL money.

NSJ critics that think he's not emotionally invested and selfish can suck it.

NSJ bawling for making this S16 with this team

Ugh. Stupid people are stupid. The problem is they don’t know they’re stupid.

emotionally invested? He needs to produce on the court. That is what he gets paid to do.

I saw videos of a grown man crying because he failed and the rest of the team had to carry his load.

I saw a team without a lot of heart this season. Devo has enough heart to supply the rest of them though.
