Yeah, I don't understand it.
Also Koloko isn't in most mocks at all, but he's a first rounder EASILY.

Well, a tiny bit tainted at the end of regulation and (lottery-dependent) could have cost the Kings Mathurin, but congrats on the win.
Mathurin absolutely took over tonight.
Koloko played phenomenal. I agree with you, he's definitely going 1st round after putting up a clinic in the tournament.

Yeah, there are basketball minds who I otherwise respect who had TyTy ranked over Benn and I have absolutely no idea what I'm missing other than TyTy being a guard from Kentucky.
I mean headed into the season most of the UA fandom had this being a 3 player team (Benn, Kerr and Tubelis). Really gotta give Coach Lloyd all the credit in the world for Koloko, Ballo, Larsson and actually turning them into a team that people consider deep.
TyTy had Arizona on his final 4 when we were desperate so I have to admit a bias against him.
As much as history told me we didn't want Illinois, it doesn't get any easier for Arizona.

Some of the same things they missed on Maxey. TyTy isn't a world beater but those Kentucky guards that can peak around pick and rolls and unload those shots do pretty well at the next level. I haven't been following many mocks but TyTy around 10 or so seems right.
I’ve been really harsh on TyTy, but being on a team with only 1 other legitimate shooter is going to be hard.
With all of this being said, we’re seeing a trend of Kentucky guards who only play okay/good in college, but absolutely light it up once they get in the NBA. Everyone gets better over time, but there’s no way that guys like Booker, SGA, Herro, and Maxey don’t go top 5 in a re-draft. Keldon Johnson would go top 10. I might be forgetting a couple other players, but I think it’s enough of a sample size to give Washington the benefit of the doubt.
I remember this same problem with Maxey when he was a prospect too.
I just don't see the same juice as Maxey or those other guards with TyTy though. The PG skills are lackluster, he's not a great defender, not a super explosive athlete and he's already 20. Maybe a hot take, but I'd much rather draft Agbaji who I know has ideal 2 guard size with an elite shot.

I don’t see Buddy Hield slow, but he doesn’t have the extra gear that Mathurin has either. I think he’ll end up being a solid NBA player, but I don’t see an elite 3 and D profile either. In a draft with better players, he would be a mid teens or later pick. If he ends up on the Kings, initally, he’ll end up producing around where Justin Holiday is producing. Maybe a tick better as a spot up shooter, but a full level lower as a defender.

Zags are done. Got sped up by Ark. Better team won.

Ran into him a few times in WC. He’s like 5’5. Great college coach though. Should stay in college forever.
In all fairness Muss probably somewhere between Malone and Joerger in the post Adelman era. It's pretty ridiculous that the Maloofs though Adelman was holding the rotten corpse of the GY Kings from contention. I'm happy for him tonight. I hope he ends Coach K's career.

lmao how sad is it than in the roughly 30 coaches we’ve had since Adelman he’s probably pretty safely top-3 of the list.

We suck!
I also feel a little bad for Theus who was trying his damnedest to win at a time it was clear we should have tanked for a year or two. LOL
It's early still, but Texas Tech's defense is absolutely slaughtering Duke.

Duke needs another ball handler on the court. Same thing with Zags. College kids get sped up. Put another guard in the lineup to control pace.
Nervous about my Cats tonight.
Arizona needs to go inside and stop with the threes for a minute. yeesh
