    I like Coward.
    I like Carter Bryant.

    Both have some unknowns because of court time for Bryant and level of competition plus half a dozen games for WSU with the labrum surgery for Coward. Their D and catch and shoot 3’s I believe in. Getting their own shot less so. Team play, “want to” and work ethic look strong.

    At 11, I won’t be disappointed in either one.

    Since I like Payton Pritchard so much … and Jalen Brunson is a self-made stud who has been grinding for years at ½ an inch taller than Jase … and 2 of my 3 favorite PGs were not big (Steve Nash and John Stockton with the 3rd, and favorite, is Jason Kidd) … is Jase not only worth it at 11 but is he a dude?

    I would appreciate being convinced by a believer.

    I won't be disappointed at all if they choose Demin. What that will mean is that they believe in his upside and that in time he'll overcome the obvious weaknesses that we've both noted. They're certainly in a better position to judge how he's trending (especially physically) then we are.

    Not to mention Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby. (And Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels)

    It's still the end of the world for some here for having slipped to #11. There will be plenty of good players available. I just hope we can hit on GREAT.
