Karma. Sorry they're family but I can't feel sorry for fans who turned a blind eye. All I know for sure is LSU is gonna suck.

The whole attitude toward cheating among fans of SEC teams is so much different than what we are used to as IU fans. They operate under the view of everyone is doing it so it’s no big deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games I've seen this year, he looked very good...very skilled and mature for a big man and way ahead of what most freshman bigs look like. He started for #1 (at times) Gonzaga so obviously Mark Few likes him a lot. The biggest knock is his very slender frame which brings a question of durability. Make no mistake though...he's very skilled. This is no Adam Morrison. That said, he could be Sam Bowie or Greg Oden in the NBA...so injured he never shows his potential. OTOH, I remember people snickering about Kevin Durant's bench presses at the combine. My best guess is he's either very good...maybe all-star good or a complete bust. I don't see him being a mediocre player in the NBA, but at this point, everyone is guessing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most teams are willing to push the envelope a little at times, but that's a lot different than Will Wade who pretended that rules didn't exist. I hope he never gets another college coaching job in his life. I'm also not sad for LSU fans suffering through some bad basketball for condoning his bad behavior. We all knew what SHOULD happen to that slimeball. It just irritates me that the NCAA moved so slow that he was able to still get top recruits for years after he was exposed and was brazen enough to tell recruits that NCAA sanctions would not be a problem (I'm still disappointed in the Watford family for buying his line of crap). What a dishonest jackass. Will Wade doesn't have the morals to operate in a prison league. I feel better now. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys skills and athleticism are crazy for his size. The only legit knock on him is his weight. At 7ft 1in give me this everyday on the Pacers.

FKIM01 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 I don't mean to turn this into a Chet Holmgren love-fest, but the dude literally shot 39% from distance for Gonzaga averaging five attempts per game. I'd be thrilled if IU's guards shot at that level. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Kevin Durant isn't physical either. Not every NBA player has to be Patrick Ewing, especially in today's NBA that often plays five out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Pacers ended up drafting a little lower in the top ten I would even take Murray over Ivey.

KoB2011 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Jabari Smith should be the number 1 pick whoever has it, but that probably won't be the Pacers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally one year ago one of the members of this board reported seeing Thad at the NCAA games at Hinkle, barely able to walk. No doubt he likely still has a sharp basketball mind. Im more interested in the staff he assembles. That will answer the health question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
