    Nice post Homer. The kid comes across as a nice young man. With his dad being as smart of a player as he was, some of that IQ would have to rub off on him. Him thinking he would like to be a PF is laughable considering he is playing against guys now several inches shorter than himself, and not dominating. On the other hand, I can see him being a three stretch four in some situations..dunno..I cant see going after him just because of who his father is..

    He's a growing kid, and he absolutely dominates for being an 18 year old freshman who Few is bringing along slowly. No idea how big he will get, but size will not be an issue for him.
    Can't see him leaving this year. He only goes to his left, but he does that very well. Bit of issue with pouting, but he's young.

    Definitely not the typical pg/shooter coming out of GU who have failed. He's legit.

    If he were to declare, and still be available that late in the first round, I absolutely think Paul Allen should draft him just because of his father's legacy -- unless there is a home run can't miss head and shoulders better player available, which would be extremely unlikely. It's a crap shoot anyway at that point.

    By the time he's developed and ready to contribute, he'll be backing up Meyers. ;)

    Good way to keep the assembly line stocked.

    I'd have to play the "Is he better than Victor Claver" card on any draft prospects. I think Vic would school him personally

    He'll go lotto when he comes out. I highly double he'll come out this year though.

    He's young for his class outting up 10/7 in 22 min. with a crazy 71 TS%.

    He's amazing and I told you guys this a while ago.

    But, he's not coming to the league for atleast 2 years.

    It's probably not going out on a limb to say that Domantas will be a great rebounder at the NBA level. He is relentless going after the ball, and as far as footwork, using his lower body for position, and basketball instinct is concerned, he is the Antimeyers.

    I would love to get him, as my current Sabonis jersey is looking a bit worn

    He's a good college player and he's played some good teams. But he needs more than two years in college. If he leaves now, it's a mistake.

    Gonzaga Pepperdine on ESPN right now. Hoping to see some son-of-Sabas in the WCC tourney tonight.

    It's not like he'll come out because he needs the money.

    Why does the WCC play their tourney final 10-11 days before their first NCAA tournament game? Seems like a good way to get rusty and bounced quick.
