Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

If he can't evaluate half time shows how can you trust his judgment on NBA talent.

Interesting because CW said the other day Sanford is an NBA guy.
I heard this. Was he just trolling Hassle you think? He may have a chance due to his size, to be like a G League guy for awhile, but I don't think there's a realistic chance he ever becomes even a regular end of bench guy.

He’s on draft boards and has shown up in the second round of mock drafts. He is an elite shooter and he is 6’-7”.

Guessing he meant Sandfort likes to watch the NBA compared to college basketball or the NFL or hockey.

Nobody likes watching the NBA... And this is coming from a guy who actually watches the NBA.

I'm a basketball junky, so I do it out of obligation. It's not that players aren't good... quite the opposite. If anything, modern players are TOO good. At least skill-wise.

It's just not a good product. It’s devolved into a glorified game of horse... a game of keep away... and game of trying to discern whether or not the contact offensive players cleverly cause on purpose is a foul or not.

If everyone is supremely skilled and crafty, then nobody is... and their skill loses novelty and excitement. Kinda sad actually.

I agree. Their outstanding skill set has actually changed the game to a less interesting one.

that doesnt change the fact that he is an elite shooter and 6'-7".
True, but wingspan, vertical, and barefoot height will be make or break for a listed 6'7 wing, even for a sharpshooter. Unless he has PG skill and be seen as combo with backup PG potential, which he does not.

2nd round picks are generally treated as glorified UDFAs. Gabe and Conditt are both in the GLeague and their lot is no different than 95%+ of guys taken in the 2nd round.

I would argue it would benefit him to go Undrafted and grow his skillset and profile in Europe for a year or two, then try to sign a two way with a little bit of professional cache on his resume.

To me the NBA is a much superior product for everything you mentioned. I think college basketball should adapt a lot of the rules the NBA has. Defensive 3 seconds, advance ball in final 2 minutes timeouts, less charges, no more 1 and 1s. There's a lot more freedom of movement, more rythym and it makes for better viewing

Sounds like iowa basketball, and I'll pass.
