That hippie knack to research exhaustively every difficult question really came through for you there.
Bol Bol is going to be a terror defensively the college ranks. 7'3 8 foot wingspan. He has the potential to be more than just another giant stiff though. He can handle the ball and doesn't seem as awkward as his dad.
I assume you meant "ranked 34th". His game doesn't translate to the NBA. Too small, too slow, and doesnt have a skill that will overcome those limitations. HS rankings are just that, a representation of HS players. It isn't representative of how well their games translate to the NBA.
And I've played against him. I understand he may be your hometown hero, but I'm being real. Saying he's a 4-year kid isn't a "snide comment". If you said Hachimura was a 4-year kid who probably won't make the NBA, I'd disagree, but wouldn't take it personally or think it was snide.
Title contender as in top 4 seed? Maybe.. RJ Barrett will have more of an impact on Duke than those 2 combined. This years Texas team could be compared to an Oregon team with Brown and Bol. Texas has Mohamed Bamba, Andrew Jones, Kerwin Roach, and Elijah Mitrou-Long and isn't even ranked. Look at NC State last year.
Why would I be salty? You guys aren't going to make a Final Four with him, and then he's gone after a year. How am I salty when I'm saying Oregon underachieves in recruiting players?
He's too small and not quick enough for NBA basketball. Also not a good enough passer by those standards, and can't defend at that level.
He has way better handles than that cat and has a killer instinct that Forte simply doesn't possess. C'mon... You might as well call him Aaron Craft because he's a white PG...
Lmao. Pritchard doesn't have one skill that measures up top the NBA level (except shooting, maybe). Duck fans overrate this kid, especially because he's a local product.
You literally just compared him to a white PG you picked out of the crowd only because he's white... I think you're underrating him so....
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. “It is overfull. No more will go in!” “Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?”
I've seen Forte play a lot. He played 4 years there, and I've okayed against Pritchard and seen him play in person. The comparison want ignorant. Good, small shooters who aren't too great and anything else. They remind me of each other.
I've seen Forte play a good amount and again, they don't remind me of each other at all. I've seen Prichard do things that I don't think Forte is capable of. Time will tell.
