Random College Basketball Thoughts: 2021-22

[Buckeye Fever]

All you gotta do is make Jabari more comfortable with his transition dribble and you got Pepsi brand KD. I think he getting there before Chet becomes this supercharged Mobley nikkas saying he can be

I see Jabari bein' a beast in the league. People gotta realize he is on a damn good college team. If he played for, let's say Nebraska, he'd put up 25 nightly, but since his team is so good, it's not needed

 

[Buckeye Fever]

This center is twerking on Chet, pause

Oh shyt, i forgot the play st marys tonight

 

[Chrishaune]

Wow, St Mary's really is bangin on Gonzaga.

When it got down to 7, I didn't think SMC had a chance breh

 

[RammerJammer]

This been a good ass season

throwing shyt on the court with time still left on the clock

you gotta get fired if you're taking Chet over Jabari I'm sorry. nikkas can overthink it and reach up to take tunnel vision Ivey if they want, but the easiest answer is the simplest one in this draft

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

wow seven teams out of the top ten lost... March gonna be different

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

What a day!

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

Need to close it out with wins over A&M and LSU and we should be solidly in the top 15-20 going in to the SEC tourney

He balls, but he got some huge questions just like the other top prospects I've seen this year. Right now he seems like Rashard Lewis with better defense. The hope is that he can unlock more to his game on the next level. As a Pistons fan I have been paying very close attention to his game and development.

That’s not the first time I’ve seen that comparison in the last 24 hours I can’t speak to the best version of Lewis, but did he have post skills like Bari? I just think of dude as a great 3 and D 4, stretch 5 option that was ahead of his time. And what prevents me from giving Jabari that 3 and D forward “floor” is that he already has elite post footwork for anyone in that build

but I do agree that handle gotta come for him to reach the loftier expectations he got. I think you can body him to rush his process, even though his shot still usually lends itself to hitting some crazy shyt. How does that translate against consistent comparable length, I suppose we’ll see. I think his shot and shot taking is probably the most NBA ready skill any of the top 4 have, and he’s 18.

At the very least, I just don’t see anyway you take Paolo over him. I think that’s dead atp.

He was solid in the post in his Seattle days before he became almost exclusively a shooter in Orlando. I still have him as #1 overall, but I can also see reasons why some may have others as their #1. I like his defense over Paulo, but I can see that Paulo is a more versatile bucket and a better passer right now. I totally agree on his shot though. He has the most translatable skill as it stands.
