damn, trae young's greenlight and usage % is absurd...he also pushes/fends off alot w/ his off arm when driving.

Main reason he went to OU. I know you heard the rumors about the UK class and him.

yup, apparently they all wanted (and of course got) quade instead. i wanted him and MPJ at duke, but dunno if he would've blended in well on a team with alot of other talented players. i don't know what to make of his nba stock b/c i don't think he'll have the freedom to play like this despite the steph comparisons. and i know he has a high usage rate, but he turns it over alot.

Yeah he’s got to figure out how to play off the ball. He’s not going to be able to dominate usage wise like this in the league.

So what is Billy Preston draft stock? @funkee

very gray right now...multitalented big w/ obviously some character concerns. seemed to coast to me in highschool. don't know how many games he'll have with BC Igokea to really make an impression. will have to kill workouts, especially interview portion. i don't think he's a first rounder at this point. @Flight thoughts?

Talented 6’10 big that can put the ball on the floor. But he wants to play like he’s Ben Simmons or LeBron and he isn’t. Not really focused defensively. I think he may be a flier pick in the second but if he went undrafted I wouldn’t be surprised.

:camby: Chris Mullin needs to be fired ASAP. Marcus Lovett is a p*ssy and a coward, but Mullin is a trash ass coach.

This school has a billionaire who goes to every game and is a fanatic ( mike repole), Wall Street millionaires and is in a good market for talent NYC/NJ, and Mullin has shown he can’t do it. Get Tom Crean, Rick Pitno, Danny Hurley or whoever and open that check book.

Stupid cac makes more money than ed Cooley, Lovell Jordan, Patrick Ewing and Chris Mack. Yet all of them coach circles around Mullin.

:camby: Step down cac.
