And we are the favorite accoring to zagoria,,,,,niiice
the mcw quote above is a good one. The staff really likes the kid. That is good enough for me.what is the big deal with this kid? i know he is a duke kid but he didn't even sniff the court much at all and there are questions about him as his next school will be his 6th school in 6 years counting 4 high schools.

Dion familiarized himself with more than a few high schools and that worked out pretty well for us. By all accounts, this is a good kid, so I'm not too worried about the school thing. I think this ends up being a really good get for us.
Fortunately, the kid IS a guard, so anyone starting those threads can go kick rocks.So where is the "but we need another guard, not a forward" thread?
I thought he was a small forward. Maybe I had him mixed up with someone else.Fortunately, the kid IS a guard, so anyone starting those threads can go kick rocks.

He's a 2/3, but everything I've been reading is that his game is basically that of a big 2-guard. Smart player, good shooter, perimeter oriented, etc.I thought he was a small forward. Maybe I had him mixed up with someone else.
from the sounds of things the staff wanted him. he went to duke and it wasn't right. there is nothing wrong with hoping a kid that coach k wanted, and boeheim wanted, could come here and turn it around.what is the big deal with this kid? i know he is a duke kid but he didn't even sniff the court much at all and there are questions about him as his next school will be his 6th school in 6 years counting 4 high schools.

This is the last stop on the bus line for this kid. Either the light goes on for him and he contributes or he will be known as a journeyman bust. Mr. Gbinije the choice rests solely in your hands. Show me what you are going to do about it.in the end it did, but it wasn't like that all the time. this kid didn't even stay at the same college, at least dion did. kid might be a great get and i trust jb, but we'll see. there are some red flags.
I would be more worried about him breaking out in practice next year and entering the draft.
Funniest thing I have read here in a long time. NBA draft pick with about 100 minutes of court time in 2 years.

This will NEVER happen. Scouts don't go to watch practice at the Melo Center. How you play in games is 1000 times more important than if you can hit some shots in practice. If you could get drafted on practice, James Southerland would have gone pro last year. He hits 80% of his 3s in practice. This is the absolute silliest thing i've ever seen posted here.It could realistically happen someday though to a top program with a kid that has to sit out a year or transfer.
Look at the jump Melo made from his freshmen to his sophmore year and hes in the NBA now.
Look at MCW if he entered the draft he could have been as good as gone.
Look at Dion and the jump he made from fresh to soph.
Wes made a huge jump and some say he was better then Johnny that other guy who was two and done the year he sat out .
If Harris left after his freshmen year he may have been drafted on potential scouts ignoring his youth. Look how much better KJO got from freshmen to sophmore.
I haven't seen alot of Gbinje to say how or how unraw he is, but the guy was a potential Mcdonalds AA. If he puts his heart to it like Dion did he could become a absolute stud.
At the same time I wouldn't be surprised if scouts ignore the hype more these days either. And the foreign market is larger.
If James seriously shot around 80% in practice then his confidence should be through the roof.
Excited to hear that.
