I was really just objecting to calling Drake Powell a 1 semester footnote. I think that's a crappy way to refer to a UNC player and all-around great guy.

I get what you're saying but please note that the gist of the last several pages are essentially an analysis of about how much we can expect to pay per win. Not exactly how I learned to love the game but the consensus seems to be that it's wins, losses and cost.

Roster management is so much more complex under the current rules. Think they did a decent job in rebuilding the front court with some needed height (really hope they bring back Lubin). I'm less convinced with the backcourt and shooting in general. Trimble is not a good outside shooter. From all accounts Wilson isn't a good perimeter shooter either. No idea on Vassar...but having 3 non shooters in the starting lineup is a tough proposition. Even if the new pg is lights out shooter and Stevenson has some shooting....it feels like a team that will struggle to hit shots from the outside.

Veesar hit 32% of his 3s last year. As a Euro big guy, I suspect he has a decent touch from outside. He didn't shoot many, and I'm not thinking he will shoot a lot, but he will probably have to be guarded in the pick and pop.

This is probably why EC wasn't recruited harder to stay. OTOH I see scouting reports on Wilson saying he's got 3 point range but is somewhat inconsistent. Big guys often improve their shots late high school or early college.

I appreciated it. Still don't know if some of these geniuses made the DP/Deadpool connection yet. But even Deadpool would've let it go.

Deadpool never lets anything go.

I was actually done after the second gif, until I got a chance to use the UNC DP picture. You can't turn down an opportunity like that.
 
Did I miss discussion about Jae'lyn Withers entering the portal (or was this super old news)? Just noticed him on the IC portal list as of yesterday..

Believe that he graduated and/or exhausted eligibility, but is one of those seniors that entered the portal in the small chance they get one more year to play (but knowing they shouldn't and probably won't). See also Dontrez Styles (at NCSU)

Right, that makes sense. I had forgotten that he had no eligibility left. Clearly haven't had enough coffee today.
