I mean Lance never really killed it here and the list can go on, on certain players. I forgot Westbrook went to UCLA and played with Love. Westbrook stats weren't eye popping. Jake will get there even if he's not dropping 20 a game, because youre right we have a lot of weapons. |

I hope he can leave after this year. That would mean he or the team had a good year. And it puts another uC guy in the league

NBA teams will take a guy who checks so many boxes:
He is 6'6 He has an over 40" vertical He isn't slow He can shoot the 3 at volume He is a great defender He makes winning plays He has great court vision and passing ability He defensive and offensive rebounds well for a guard He only lacks the dribble drive stuff and you can develop that with time. Versatile athletic SG are probably the hardest players to find in the NBA. When I was a kid the SG position was where most of the best players were (Jordan, Miller, Drexel etc) where as now its the PG and the SF. Evans would be the prototypical 2 guard in the NBA. |

Carlton Bragg to Arizona State.
I guess that's good news for those of you who didn't want him. |

My issue with Jacob is his BB instinct on how to create a shot for himself. That's not something you can teach a kid very easily. He's got all the necessary skills to play in the NBA. I hope he makes it. For selfish reasons I hope we get 2 more years out of him When (if) scoring (creating) becomes more natural for him I think his stock will go way up...but that also depends on who is in the draft.

Just watched Gary and Jake's last season highlight videos. They got me so pumped for next year.
It really also made me appreciate how far UC has come in terms of offensive talent over the past few years. Like when I look back at the Ellis JR and SR year roster, I quickly remember how much we struggled to score. Troy and Farad cobb had to lead us in scoring. Troy is naturally a pass first guy and Cobb was just too small to do anything other than hit 3's when wide open. And Even in Kilpatricks senior year, it was him against the world. Justin Jackson was not a scorer and either was Titus. Now we have legit scoring options at every starting position. Not only do we have offensive minded players, but they also play hard on the other end. I dunno about you guys, but Im predicting this year to be the best team Cronin has ever had with the results to prove it. Just need evans or cumberland to be the closer Troy was and we are golden.
