Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

He played for Iowa Wolves last year for one season. This season Garza and Kalscheur are on the team. And DJ Carton who grew up in Bettendorf.
CW does some late podcasts after he’s had drinks.
If he can't evaluate half time shows how can you trust his judgment on NBA talent.
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.
Bohannon was nothing more than a ticket sales ploy.
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”.
He is a minus athlete and can't defend. Guess that's why I am most surprised.
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.
that doesnt change the fact that he is an elite shooter and 6'-7".
The NBA would eat him alive.
We went to a Wolves games last season and Bohannon never played one second.
sure. i am not saying he is logging minutes in the NBA. but he will 100% be a G league 2 way player for the duration of a rookie contract. beyond that is on him to develop more.
I agree. Their outstanding skill set has actually changed the game to a less interesting one.
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
