True. The KY hoops account typically posts decent stuff. Moreno is a must stay to come back. I hope Jasper comes back. Pope is not using Jasper correctly at all. Maybe he can once Lowe is back full time.
The only League he could play in right now is the G League. Someday though
If I’m Moreno, I continue working on my guard skills. Honestly, becoming an effective passer and making reads would be in his favor. He HAS to improve his lateral footwork or there is no room in the league for him. He should watch Johni Broome film and work on adding some of his tape to his his own.
I am not saying you're off base, as I have no clue, but why do you feel Johnson will transfer ?? It seems he has a future here.
However, the NBA does draft on potential. It would not surprise me.
He’s shown no potential for their league…yet. That’s my point. Whoever made this mock draft doesn’t know what the hell they are talking about. If Malachi showed some finesse to his game or speed reading defenses or showed switchability in guarding PnR that’s one thing, but we haven’t seen it yet. Mark my words, MM ain’t going pro unless he shows some of that potential.
Are you a heavy NBA watcher? Be honest. If you are, you should know Moreno has shown nothing so far to suggest spending a first round pick makes sense for the next level. I’m not saying he won’t —- but not so far.
He’s good and has potential to be great but he’s also a “big stiff”. Don’t see too many guys like him in today’s NBA. Bigs are expected to be more skilled in some category or other. Not knocking him but I think we can assume he’ll most likely be returning to college
His potential is being 7ft tall. The statement you cannot teach size. NBA egos will feel like they will be able to develop his talents. I do not think he is ready for the NBA either. I think it will be hard for him to be drafted in the first round especially with all the talented freshman that will come out.
7 ft means very little without glimpses of the NBA skillset. NBA is a very different league these days. Even the Zach Edey’s of the world have jumpers now.
Evidently he has some potential. He was a McDonald's All American and ranked as one of the top 2 centers in a deep freshman class, so evidently some people believe he has potential and all it takes is one to draft him.
McDAA has nothing to do with NBA Draft.
Dude. I said I do not think he will be drafted in first round either. However, ask Jordan and Barkley if height is a factor in drafts. MM has potential to be a solid player. Is he an outstanding college player, no. But someone thinks he can be a first round pick or he would not be listed in any mock draft. All I am saying is, it would not surprise me if someone drafted him on potential.
There isn’t a subscription of anything. I have a small circle of NBA friends and we do some things for NBA drafts every year and fantasy. I find most people just talk out there *** on NBA stuff. If you agree MM has shown nothing yet to be a 1st round draft pick, I have no disagreement,
Honestly. I do not care if we agree or disagree. This is a message board and it is full of disagreements. You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine.
Scroll back up to find that you were replying to something I said —- not the other way around. You have the right to say whatever you want and I don’t have mod privileges to stop it. However, I do have a nose and if I smell something funky I’ll certainly say it. You don’t have to care. I respect your opinion and will leave it there.
Well, let's talk Kam and the draft for a bit. I was surprised preseason that some had him as a lottery pick. I assumed after his blazing start (yes Sheldon, sarcasm) that his name would be gone from the mocks. But, now we're in a catch 22 situation....if he starts heating up it will be a key to our success this year. At the same time we probably lose hope that he will be our starting 3 man next season.
I'm glad I read the thread before posting but let's just say I agree with you.
I saw my posts and thought I came down a little hard on Moreno. You’re right — he hasn’t shown anything that would put him there…yet. If he works on a jumper in the off-season, becomes elite defensively and works on his ability to move laterally, he absolutely could be a 1st round draft pick SOMEDAY. I don’t think a lot of folks realize just how hard it is for a traditional center to get taken in the 1st round these days. If you’re getting taken first round as a big man, you’re either:
You’re trippin. Why would JJ transfer when he could come back and lead us in scoring next year and be a 1st rounder and a potential AEC OY Candidate ? Oh. And for his home town team. He’s not leaving brodie. Hopefully we get a bigger. Stronger PG who can shoot and distribute but can handle contact and physicality unlike small frail PG’s. We needed Rippey. He’ll be a top PG and a top draft prospect next year. But I’ll take a 15 and 6 high major transfer. Let Lowe leave or backup. Transfer. JJ. A lights out shooter at the 3. Hopefully Stokes and MM. then Lowe. Big time shooter at the 2. Hawthorne. Kam. Mo D. Transfer big.
I feel like you just proved the point you are arguing against.
I agree with both of y’all.
Yeah that’s what I said. He has shown nothing to get drafted in the first round this year but still has the ability to get drafted there someday after working on his game. I’m not a gambling man but I’d easily bet a $100 he ain’t going first round this year. All these people arguing don’t believe he is either — I have no idea why anyone would be arguing against something obvious.
Do you have Moreno going in the first round THIS YEAR? If not, just leave it alone. You know better.
