I think Tyler Tanner is guard #3 in this draft behind Acuff and Peterson, if he declares I don’t know what’s going on with that.

He’s 6’0 but a damn good athlete and has natural feel for the game, his potential is through the roof with the right team, and he’s only 20.

Dawg alert

Would you draft him over Flemings?

Yes. I’m not high on Flemings, I think he’s a good player and very smart, but he doesn’t really pressure the rim enough for me despite being a great athlete if you get what I’m saying. I think he can be a starting PG or even a good bench guy, but Tanner to me has that gear to get to the next level and become a star if everything aligns, sometimes reckless abandonment is a bigger plus than controlled decision making.

this is laughable, breh is just doing things we saw carson edwards do.

NBA teams don't care for small guards anymore

Im a big fan of his but he struggles against anyone with length and athleticism like he’ll see in the NBA. I think he can be a great sixth man type but he’s 5th at best in this draft behind Philon and Flemings also.

Nah nah nah nah, Edwards was good but nowhere near as explosive or quick as Tanner is, he was also more reliant on the 3 and screens to get his shots while Tanner’s game is more inside out and he can score 1 on 1. Plus you have to remember Edwards career got lost in the Covid shuffle like a lot of dudes quiet as kept, but the aftermentioned factors plus him not really being a difference maker defensively is what stunted him.

Tanner is a pest on defense with quick reaction time and processing, he pokes the ball so quick the defender is still dribbling air by the time they realize what happened, he just also has more emotion and expression, a real leader/galvanizer. Edwards was always nonchalant with his game- idk I see a dawg like I said, maybe I’m wrong but I like the kid a lot.

I don’t hate this take, like I said I think how he ends up depends on where he lands and if a team will try to reign him in because of his height, but he seems like the type that’s jus gonna try and take it lol. We’ll see, I hope for the best for him I’m definitely a fan of his game

I think it's usually after 2 or 3 pm EST for the Sunday regional final but yea the East will likely get the early time slot over the Midwest

Yeah, the Sunday finals are usually at 2:40 and 5:05. Best matchup best the 5:05pm slot. Basically that Duke region is getting the 5pm start.

for the there's no cindarella's crowd, keep in mind Iowa is a 9 seed who beat a 1, and this is their first Sweet 16 since 1999 (!!!), and Nebraska is enjoying their first Sweet 16 (and R32) ever.

Also, in 2023, ppl complained that there was no "star power" and "no big brands" in the E8/F4 (sans UConn, but Hurley wasn't yet the well-known coach he is now)...hard to have it both ways

How high do you realistically see Tanner going? People complained about Acuff's size all year and he's 6'2 built like a linebacker...
