I don't anticipate him being out of the top 5. There aren't 5 players better than him in this draft. Outside of wemby he's easily the only other elite 2-way player in this group
Did you buy them before the final 4 teams were known? I think a good chunk of tickets are held back until the teams are known.
final 4 tickets sales went on sale a long time ago (close to a year ago) as did the rest of the tournament. This event isn't made to be a home court host advantage. Tickets are at the cost of the resell market at this point if you intend to go.
Agree, if I had to guess I think he goes #5, with an outside shot at going higher depending on how the draft order shakes out. Some team is going to be too excited about what he brings to the table right away, especially if they already have a guy projected to be their franchise player (Charlotte with LaMelo, for example). The Rockets aren't quite in that position where they have a guy they're sure they can build around, but if they can't get Wemby/Scoot and if they don't believe in Amen's ability to reach his potential, I think they might as well just take Walker. Better him than Brandon Miller. You can sign a Brandon Miller type of shooter, or at least a poor man's version, very easily out of free agency and all it will cost is cap space. It's a common archetype. Much harder to acquire a player with Walker's combination of skills, they don't come around too often.
I dont think you pass on Brandon Miller Jarace is going top 10 possibly top 5 but i think the top 3 is set with Miller in that mix
I think they're very, very close as overall prospects, closer than most people realize. I think Miller is just getting more buzz because, a) Alabama. b) Being a leading scorer in college is sexier than being a great defender + a jack-of-all-trades who is good at a lot of different things on offense. But I see them both as very high-floor prospects whose ceiling is to get into a few all-star games. I doubt either of them becomes a superstar or the #1 option on a championship team.
So I just got my confirmation letter from UH athletics that my sweet sixteen ticket request will be fulfilled by the school.... and they gave me seats literally 3 rows from the ceiling of the arena. Worst yet? Checking the secondary market, I could get seats in the lower bowl for less than half of what these tickets are going to cost me. I'm so pissed. Edit: LMAO there's a wall blocking half my view of the court from my seat too
Wait , what? How is a guy averaging 11 and 7, going in the top 10 this year in Jarace? What am I missing? Is he like super good, but just didn't put up the numbers this year?
Defense. You're missing defense. Heard some say Jarace could be a DPOY candidate. Also, just look at the dude--he looks stronger than most guys in the NBA and he's only 19. What is he gonna look like in 5 years? The Hulk? The raw tools are fantastic here. Also, they're not running the offense through him at all because they have such a stacked roster, especially Sasser, so it's hard to say what his offensive ceiling actually is just by looking at the stat lines. He does display a lot of different skills, so if even one of those develops into elite, he could become a much better scorer than you might think just by looking at surface-level stuff.
Sasser 90%+ and Shead getting better everyday is all I wanted to hear. Last year Mark and Sasser both done in December and tge team played with a chip on their shoulder and made some serious noise. But I was left wondering what if.... This year I rally hope all the stars with a line. Final four in Houston. Jim Nance's last call. I got my tickets to the Final Four the day they went on sale hoping to see not only great basketball at the college level but great basketball by coach Sampson. The program's been building every year making it to the big dance playing some phenomenal teams winning some of those games against known programs. They've been ranked top five all year and faced every team's best effort. So I'm really hoping we got all the guns blazing and we can do our best and let the chips fall where they may. Can't wait for Friday night Go Coogs.
