  2. Do you think Harper's dad's comments are a concern for us taking him? I know he semi "retracted" some of those comments. However, he hates Utah and there's no way that does not have play with his son.

  5. Leif knows his DRAFT!!!! The ILL.Kasp is really good…EGOR will crush you…can also really play!!!! 3 BIG wings will be taken at the top with Harpers' better son…Dylan!! TOP 4 and then Kasp and Tre Johnson!!
    Those are your top 6…for sure!!!!!!

  11. I was at the 2nd half of Texas -NMSU last night. Tre Johnson looked unengagrd in the blowout. Defense was spectacularly bad. He didn't seem to have a lot of burst. 0 pts in the 2nd half. Not impressed.

  13. As a Rutgers fan. I hope Utah stays far FARRRR away from Harper or Ace. They have too much going on and not enough at the same time.

    Collier should be getting developed as the primary ball handler the floor general. Keyonte has shown improvement as a playmaker but his a scoring guard.

    Flip should be playing the 4 and getting some 3 work so he can be Lauri’s replacement. He can do all that Lauri can just needs reps and experience so he can figure out what to work on.

    John Collins & Lauri need to be traded because they aren’t gonna make you contenders and giving them minutes is only slowing the development of the younger players down.

  14. Cooper Flagg is a physically stronger Andre Kirilenko, in this NBA, he’s a 15 year starter with fringe All-Star outlook. He can be your 3rd best player on a Playoff team, a la Aaron Gordon.

  15. I love seeing a mint mobile add on here. Honestly. I switched to mint ~7 months ago. Super happy. $30/month for unlimited everything, including hotspot. Used to pay $75/month with T-Mobile. Same coverage.
