Bleach out the hype. BTW: Admiral Schofield should be on our radar. Really liked the game in his game. |

There was a podcast on The Ringer, in which they were praising Brandon Clarke- haven't heard much about him up until now, but here's a bit more info (though they said he had improved a lot as the season went on):

Darius Garland may be worth checking out as he has been injured most of the season and so may be flying under the radar:

Great game. Zion looked gassed in the second half. Was hoping to see more Zion/Barrett. Curious now who will go 2nd in the draft.

This is why I keep saying I don't see anything special at NBA level with Barrett as well, not just Reddish. Last couple of months, Zion has had to have a monster game in order for them to win. Remember the stat lines of 9 of 9, 12 of 12 etc...Today he goes for a human 10 of 19. Barrett goes for 7 of 17....Reddish 2 of 8. Sure Zion had 2 assists 5 TOs, but at least he made up for it with his offensive rebounding, steals and overall played a complete game. Barrett had 7 TOs...by himself....The team had 14 assists and 17 TOs. Zion is not supposed to be your leading steals guy, but he was with 3. Also led the team with 3 blocks. Barrett and Reddish combined for 1 steal and 2 blocks. Today Barrett shot well from 3, but overall...less than 32% from beyond the arc. That's less than THJr in college, folks. THJr's last year was a healthy > 37% from 3 point range in college. So he is Why is he deserving of overall #2 or #3? He does all these little things, but nothing at an elite level. People expected him to kind of take over in college, but he hasn't been unstoppable. Of course Reddish is worse, but the question you have to ask yourself is...how much would Reddish flourish if Barrett was not on that team. There's only so many minutes/shots to go around at forward. Maybe Reddish would have shown some elite shooting at a consistent basis if he was given the opportunity? He has definitely shown he has range from deep. Barrett can get hot like THJr, but unfortunately he can also get cold like him. No to Barrett please and trade down to get Reddish if you have to make that choice. Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL

^^ one of my pet peeves for NBA media when they post stats... why do they still post FG% instead of eFG%? Just odd in the advanced stat world and they should know better by now.

I am not saying Reddish should go top 5, but assuming Zion,Ja = 1,2, then I would absolutely trade.. #3 for Reddish plus another projected top 8 pick in 2020.

Dont believe Barrett will slip past 3. Had some big games without Zion. Reddish kind of scares me. Looks like a feast or famine type player. Would need the PG situation sorted out first if we were to draft him IMO. Could see DSJr having a lob party with Reddish and Mitch. Barrett still can make a case for himself at the combine. I wouldn't be disappointed if we took him at 3, would take Morant at 2. |

Being a die hard Purdue fan, I've posted in the past about players I like/dislike from an NBA standpoint currently in the Big 10. Purdue is a program that doesn't get many 5 star 1 & done recruits; but this year they had an interesting prospect. Carsen Edwards averaged right around 24 ppg this year as a JR and lead Purdue to a share of the Big 10 title. This was a team at the beginning of the year had no business winning the Big 10 or making the Elite 8.
In the NCAA tournament he averaged 34.5 ppg over 4 games, including 42 on both Villanova and Virginia. Virginia plays the best defense in the country year in and out. I've attached Carsen's Elite 8 performance against Virginia. It's one of the most impressive individual NCAA tournament showings I've ever seen.

Bulls are tanking hard, I think we’ll win both games against them, but hopefully we lose the rest
