Doubt we're willing to take Schroder for nothing? Does he have value beyond a salary slot that is flippable?

Book being included is news to me- at his age I’m kind of surprised.

Dudes would have no problem with that in the East... they'd already be at the playin cut even without adjusting for relative strength of schedule.

Yep. He really needs another year to solidify his handle and work on his 3. But he has intense flashes of talent that if he goes into the draft he is getting picked, it's just a matter of who is patient vs a team wanting an immediate payoff. As a BYU fan I'd love him for another year, because...

And it doesn’t sound like the teams who want Kessler can afford him.

facilitate deals or absorb salary from someplace like CLE? They seem interesting to me as we could get another of their picks and a young prospect for basically nothing to keep them out of the tax. Another possible issue, of course, of weakening our return on current picks owned.

Wow, Wiz about to beat Timberpups!

He may take it just so he doesn’t have to show up.

Thats my point though, no conflict, just a basic truth that the best chance of getting the first pick is flat in our likely finish scenarios, the only potential downside is our floor. Our ceiling is 100% better served by the TimberPups in the lottery.

It’s all about collecting lottery balls- we get a lot more chances added to our total if we get the additional chances of the wolves entering the lottery vs none at all with them out. We should pin as many losses on them that we can.

Not quite a fair comparison. Egor is the primary ballhandler and getting blitzed a lot. VJ is mostly playing off ball and his handle isn't getting challenged similarly. But Egor does really need to tighten up his handle (and has showed marked improvement the last few games.)

Thought the same until I saw OUR starting lineup.

Agreed, and he does it effortlessly.

Pretty much should be a requirement for posting privileges after the draft. Pic with your new jersey or account set to read only...

The data is what the data is. The announcers were harping on the fact during the game that a team shooting so well from 3 was a large outlier against Cincinnati.

As I already stated, just pointing out their Big 12 stats on defending the 3 are very good, not that they're a good team. Even after getting blitzed by BYU they're fractions of a percent from being 3rd in 3 PT FG% Defense in the B12: https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=mbball&year=2024

Demin mostly just wasn't rushing his shot. His form is good, but when he shoot 'anxious' its often short. When he relaxes a bit he's good. Interesting that this last game was a team that is traditionally good against the 3 this season, but BYU shot lights out long distance, so it wasn't about...

At that range its more front office homework- the easiest, most obvious picks are off the board. Also more likely to be drafting for need over BPA.

Too many favors and they end up good in the future and hurt our pick's value. We only help in ways that they're likely to spend on their immediate needs, not in ways that will help them down the line.

This has been true but not knowable ahead of time- his value at the time of the trade seemed higher than we got- kind of similar to Simone- I thought he'd do a lot more on a bad Detroit team, but he's not getting run/results.
