You do realize he can go undrafted and still sign with a team.

 

Bronny will make a roster. His dad will make sure the Lakers sign him even if they don't draft him.

 

My thing is this kid is not ready to play at the next level yet. LeBron is trying to force him to the NBA just so he can play with him before he retires. 

You are completely correct here.  Bronny would not be drafted as a player.  I really don’t think he will be drafted in the first round and probably late 2nd
 

He is not good enough to make an NBA roster but the Lakers will give LeBron his wish

That South Carolina team is the women’s version of UConn (men’s) but Iowa vs. UConn has the potential to be the game of the season regardless of whether it’s men’s or women’s hoops.

Clark vs. Bueckers is quite the showdown.

And speaking of SC, I’d love to see Dawn Staley get a crack at a men’s job should she want it. I’d take her over Hubert any day. Her ripping her girls when they were up 20 because they were slow to close out a three is what I love to see.

Man, absolutely Dawn Staley is the best coach in college basketball.  It is amazing what she has done, utmost respect for her

Unfortunately I think the refs will play a factor in State losing this game today.

 

The popular matchup is the 2 bigs Edey/Clingham to face off in the Nat'l championship.

 

 

I will still be rooting for State though. 

That’s not going to happen, if anything, officiating will lean towards State. They are drawing all of the viewers right now.

Their game against Duke was the most watched Elite Eight game since 2019 and it was the most watched telecast on Easter Sunday in 11 years.

America is following NCSU, if Purdue wins it’ll be because they were better.

People love an underdog, especially when they're likeable, which State is. I'm ok with them drawing ratings and getting a friendly whistle. It's not like State has gotten a lot of that over the last 40 odd years.

People like to blame the officials but in retrospect, the team that shoots better (FG%, 3PT%), rebounds better, and turns the ball over less usually wins.

If a team does all of that and still loses then we can start looking at free throw discrepancies but more often than not the players decide the game.

True. The only exception might be the NBA. Those refs are notorious for playing favorites and giving "superstar" calls.

Even with the NBA, the above holds true for the most part. I only see one to two games a night where the FT discrepancy decides a game.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
