Most bball fans are clueless to the levels of talent that exist. You have guys out there putting up BEAST numbers in high school, who will end up playing small time college ball. That don't mean they couldn't totally wash your average weekend warrior - but it just means he's playing regular ballers, who have no real future in the sport beyond HS. He's just much better than those guys.

When was the last time the NBA had a legit 2-way wing player that was white? The kind of dude that could be ALL-NBA defense but also be the focal point of the offense.

Bro, I have followed him for years now. Do not let his numbers deceive you, he is not that good and he was exposed when he played on the Nike Eybl circuit ( went from 50 a game to 8ppg). The only reason he got that Duke offer is because his father ( Northwestern Graduate) is close to members of coach K staff. Syracuse knew about him for years as well but was hesitant until recently. His conference is horrible and alll they do is allow him to shoot all day.



I’m pretty confident he will end up at Michigan and be a so-so bench player.

Also one more thing. He’s not from upstate he’s from Middle village Queens.

Good ole cac nepotism eh :beli:

Co-sign all of this. He may be from Queens but he plays up in Glens Falls. Trash competition

Why is he allowed this greenlight if he's not that good?

Does the name Tamir Goodman ring any bells for anyone here. The guy they called the Jewish Jordan cause he scored a lot in high school then went to Maryland and was very mediocre there. This is probably how this kid's story ends up playing out.

You can go to damn near any suburban or rural area in any state and find a kid averaging 40 a game somewhere. This kid can play, but he’s not a 50 ppg game kid in any real high school basketball league.
