The :TheU2: but tell me more bout this kid

Newly planted Burger Boy, 2 years in a row now ( sigh at UConn) Everybody had him at Villanova/ Cuse/Kentucky, and he ends up at Miami. Played for Team Final and was one of the best players in the circuit. I love everything about his game. Between him, Dewan Huell, and Bruce Brown, this is really good recruiting by Miami. Though he is short, think he might be shorter than Tyler Ulis, Chris Lykes could ball as well. Damn that's 3 east coast kids Coach Larranaga landed. Props.

Speaking of Miami, you think you're going to land Devonta Smith? You might have a better shot landing Jeff Thomas. Dude was destroying everyone at the UA all American game.

Idk on the Smith but Jeff Thomas I'm pretty confident we get him plus he is the Best WR recruit we are going after so we need to close

I haven't thought about it too much, but right now I'd really like to see Anunoby land in Dallas, he seems like a great piece to add with Wes and Barnes.

A lineup with Wes/Barnes/Anunoby/Bogut could be really good defensively. That's assuming Bogut can still be serviceable when/if he's healthy. But they can probably bring him back pretty cheap next year.

In free agency they could go after George Hill at the point and have a good starting 5 in theory. Wouldn't be a title contender but a good foundation going forward.

As far as Miami goes, in my mind Dennis Smith seems destined to play for the Heat. I think he's going to be a franchise player.

Dennis Smith is a beast and you are right he fit what we do to perfection even tho we beat them he went off against us in the second half plus he is a pure pg that just happens to be athletic

Cause their post player development sucks now.

Hmm..mason, miles and marshall seem to be doing well in the league. Lance thomas still in the league. Amile jefferson will most definitely be in the league. Not our fault okafor went into a bad situation

All those cats left Dook with whatever they came there with. When I think of development, I think of a fat kid in Sean May developing into an unstoppable force that put the team on his back for a chip, I think of a "hustle" kid in Hansbrough becoming the ACC all time leading scorer, I think of John Henson developing from a bean pole foul machine into a 1st rounder, I think of Brice Johnson developing into an All American, I think of Kennedy Meeks working on his body and now having the best year of his career, or even guys like Joel James who played all of 2 semesters of basketball before showing up at Chapel Hill and becoming serviceable. Zubeck never materialized, Amil on his 5th year, Chase still looks lost, Sean Obi was a freshman all C-USA player and now he's bum status, and Bolden seems to be following the same program. Dook recruits all 5*'s, so pointing to players making or doing ok in the league isn't the end all be all to what Dook's development of bigs is.

The Plums only made it because they are 7ft. 12 years at Duke combined and none of them developed a single post move and they all have T-Rex arms

I could see him in Minnesota

that's a good look, Towns should be at the 4 anyways, and Anigbogu could come along as a good defensive anchor/rim protector.

He could go first round this year just because of the weak talent at center

No. They are playing towns at the 4, but he needs to play 5. OG could play the 4 spot though.

Anigbogu is UCLA's back up big breh. Anunoby is the Indiana guy.

I didn't mean to confuse ya'll like that, I was talking bout Anigbogu from UCLA.

I haven't watched a ton of Timberwolves games this year, I just checked the play-by-play stats, figured Dieng was playing the 4 and Towns was at the 5.
