THT Going into the Draft
- Thread starter JM4CY
- Start date
Back on topic. My frustration with this is he is obviously not ready. I just dont see it right now.
His game reminds me alot of Niang, if Big Georges were smaller, slower, less conditioned, a worse shooter, had less basketball IQ, and wasnt a good teammate. I just don't understand how it took a guy like that 4 years of college bb and 2 years in the G-league to make it, but THT thinks he's good enough to go now.
Prohm deserves some criticism for this also, its fine if he wants to recruit 5 star 1 and done guys, but we better be getting some results from it. When I think of one and done guys, I think guys who pick up their team and teammates, get hot and go on deep tourney runs, not guys who are playing so poorly and selfishly that they need to be benched in the Big 12 championship game and NCAA tourney.

As I understand it, the rules are changed, and THT can go back to NCAA even after he has hired an agent. However, CSP needs to find and sign IMMEDIATE transfer replacements for Lard and THT. If THT changes his mind and his spot is already filled, TFB for THT.
JP is always playing chess. The extension was done to remove the chatter if CSP misses the tournament next year. Jamie wants CSP for the long run and he understands that next year will be the second rebuilding year in 3 years.
Not to mention Kane has averaged 7-8 ppg in Europe. Not exactly lighting the world on fire. His game had no chance of translating to the NBA. People sure don’t get that being a great college player doesn’t mean you are capable of lasting in the NBA.
Why don’t people understand that a lot of the difference between the Fred vs Prohm comparisons are that Fred overachieved in 5 of 6 years. Fred’s last year definitely underachieved but it was the first one and didn’t self destruct until the tournament. Prohm has yet to really exceed expectations. Fred had that cushion built in that Prohm doesn’t.
This is correct, but it's dumb IMO. The NBA values youth and "potential" over known commodities WAY too much IMO. If you're 7'3", the NBA will make you a lottery pick whether or not you can even dribble or shoot a basketball at all because..... well..... potential.... duh.
And if you're a senior in college, you're way too old, but if you're a sophomore that's perfect! 2 years difference! Really? So you'll take a risk on a sophomore that hasn't shown much in college over a senior that has shown everything you'd ever want.... just because one is two years younger. Just idiotic.
I just want Prohm to "exceed" one year, at this point that's all I ask for. So far he has "underachieved" 3 times and "achieved" once. I get yearly reviews for my employment, if I just "achieved" 1 out of 4 years at my current job I wouldnt be employed anymore, let alone getting contract extensions and raises.
A Sweet 16 is "underachieving". Lol troll
How many of the 18-19 year olds that get drafted do you honestly follow once they are in the NBA? Obviously they don’t all pan out, but they are the ones that are changing a franchise down the road. The “known commodities” that are 24 years olds and get drafted are usually just role players that are not hard for NBA teams to pick up.
You're the troll trying to get responses for things Ive already talked about. Im not about to give you anymore of my time.
Not sure if this has been said since we are one page 19 already and I am just joining the party, but it seems to me with the NBA threatening to change their entrance requirement back down to 18 years old, there will be an influx of competition for the previous year's one and done class. The smart money is to go to the NBA ASAP. If it changes after next year there will be 2 years' worth of players competing in a single draft.
Is Prohm really going to extend an offer to the 396th ranked player as a replacement for THT?
You might want to get yourself checked out by a medical professional.
Maybe step away from the keyboard for a while. Its a nice day outside
