Exclusive 2022 March Madness thread

ChetLemon is his full first name.

 

There is no way Paulo isn’t a top 2 pick.

 

Are we sure Chet doesn't have Marfan Syndrome? Like, has anyone tested the guy? I haven't even looked at college ball this year, and am just seeing this guy. And he looks like everyone I have ever seen with that particular genetic disorder.

 

In this years draft fir sure.
Is he worth our best pick and Ant to get the #1 pick?
Prob take more?

 

Technically it is underperforming. That’s why they’re a 1 seed. I agree with your premise though.

 

Gonzaga is absolutely LOADED compared to the rest of the conference.

Which is why I said let me see how Chet does in the tourney.

 

I'm not going off opinion, I'm going off of facts. If you're a top 4 seed, your seed would say you should make the Sweet 16. If you're the #1 overall you should win. If you're a #1 seed, you should make the final four. If you go back and look at their seeds, there are only 2 years where they exceed expectations in the last 11.

And that's no rip on Gonzaga, they are a great program, with a great coach. Just pointing out facts.

 

I did give my opinion on Sochan.

I posted about him when he was projected to be a low first round pick.

He has since flown up the mock drafts, which makes my opinion null and void.

I assume that the scouts know things I don’t.

If you read my posts, my original position was to trade DOWN for him.

 

Fluffing name

 

Banchero looks mighty nice

 

Chet is better than Timme simply by the fact that Timme is unlikely to ever be a rotation NBA player. May never get meaningful minutes at all in the league. My opinion, don't get mad at me Zag fans.

 

He has specialized sneakers for his feet. But they do a good job disguising them

 

If you got this much of an issue, you can block me.

I post my opinion all the time.

And yes, I use EXPERTS opinion whether I agree with it or not because they’re the experts. I’m not.

So if you say, “Wow, this Frank Harris Jr.” is going to go #1 overall I’d say “well the scouts have him going undrafted”.


I guess???? That might be a passive aggressive way of saying WTF are you seeing that professionals are not?

 

You quoted me as saying "underperforming" when I literally said "outperformed". There is a difference between those two words, so putting quotes around the exact opposite word of what I said is misleading at best.

At NO point have I said Gonzaga sucks, they are choke artists, their coach sucks, their schemes suck, their players suck, nothing of the sort. Simply pointing out advantages they have (which they deserve credit for) that may make it very difficult for them to OUTPERFORM their seed. To your point, it is impossible to outperform at a #1 overall seed, but I think we can all agree that a #1 overall seed failing to to get to the Elite 8 would be underperforming their seed line.

 

As the overall #1 seed, you should make the final four.

winning the championship is completely different since it isn’t “series” based.

 

In college basketball you go as far as your guards take you really.

 

If paolo can hit that three consistently, it changes my projections for him considerably

 

I would agree with this.

For example, in 90-91 when the Blazers had the best record in the league and made it to the conference finals (final four), I would say they did not live up to their seed expecations. Does it mean that Blazer team was a failure? Of course not!

If the Blazers were a #1 seed 5 times in a decade and never won a championship, I would expect other people would say we're not outperforming their seed of late, while others would say getting to the conference finals or finals is still a great achievement. I would agree with both of those things.

 

Isn't this the million dollar question. What is easier to do:

• Upgrade Paolo's deep shot and motor
• Upgrade Chets strength and foot speed
• Upgrade Smith's toughness and individual play-making
