Did you go to Iowa State?

No, went to Miami University (Ohio) and was a Midwest college geek. I’ve always wanted to check out a game there. Did you?

No but many of my friends and I grew up close to Ames

Midwest college basketball is the best. I grew up close to Oxford and went to almost every Ron Harper home game as a middle school kid. I can’t believe they are 25-0 this year…would be a great year to be in Oxford.
This felt about as close to an NBA simulated game/defense as we can look at for a future prospect, especially a future lead ball-handler. Flemings handled it damn near perfectly. Especially coming off 2 poor games, by his standards, to rise up in a difficult game like this is impressive.
Makes it feel that much more important we tank the hell out of the end of the season. Guarantee we leave the draft with one of Peterson/AJ/Booz/Wilson/Flemings and we'll have a hell of a start to our rebuild.

Well most magic fans and people on Twitter are saying Paolo doesn’t have IQ or feel which shatters this comparison
He was calm and collected in an extreme environment like that he was impressive for sure ISU couldn’t rush him at all
Cam's numbers are just across the board better than Paolo's at Duke, and man, if you look at the advanced stats...
Paolo went #1. I mean, it wasn't a super clear draft with Chet and Jabari, but he went #1, and Boozer is like twice as good as him.
Yeah, feels like people aren't really grasping how unreal Boozer's statistical dominance has been and vs I believe the hardest SOS to date in college basketball.
It's a gift to whoever lands at 2 or 3 that he'll still be on the board. I'm not really sure how many drafts over the last 20 years where that would be the case. Can't completely rule out him at #1 of course, but the fact it's a question is pretty absurd.
I’ve been a little cool on Boozer because I think his defense will be OK - and I think of him as more of a Kevin Love than point forward type like Banchero (my analysis of his game is very limited at this point - I could be way off the mark). But I also think if he’s Domas with a legit 3 point shot, that’s a big time player.
But Caleb Wilson just looks like a dude to me. Where are folks on the Wilson versus Boozer choice (if the Kings have the option?

I can't get hyped for Boozer.
Bigs without elite defense just don't seem to have the impact you need from a franchise cornerstone. Floor raisers for sure, but if your best player is a KAT or Domas type, you're never going to be a contender, even if they have neat counting stats.
