Washington should take Kon. They need someone with a high floor to go with all of their "Upside Swings."
Are they from this draft?
Yes
One has to be Jase...

Like, come on, this is literally just Paul Millsap if he couldn't shoot, literally everything is 1:1, it's incredible.

Never seen a guy I don't like that much making me this nostalgic, lol.
These compilation videos do a great job of highlighting just how obscene his hand speed is. Man, I wish he could shoot.

You don’t think mid majors have NIL money? Most of these schools have Scrooge McDuck money, even if they’re not Harvard.
Three years ago BYU was a total afterthought as a program. NIL has been good to them.
LockedOnHornets is really good. Everyone has them locked into VJ, but they discussed the possibility of Tre today at #4.
They also went back in time to look at one of the Hornets past decisions. It was Monk vs Mitchell, which is kind of funny because I think it mirrors the VJ vs Tre debate.

Sure, some certainly do.
NIL is good for the players and for the programs with a lot of money. But I really hate how everyone is a hired mercenary on a 1 year contract. It's just weird. And now NCAA basketball programs are signing legit pro players from overseas. Everyone has infinite eligibility.

My favorite prospect is Tre but if he and ace are available at 5 I want the jazz to take Ace
Here is a link for revenue sharing that shows the gap between some of these schools. https://nil-ncaa.com/basketball/
The disparity will make it difficult for most small programs to compete with paying for players unless, like you said, they have a rich sponsor that invests in the program. I think Cy's point is that on average a guy can make more being the 10th guy in a rich program than the #1 guy in a poor program.
I do think my original point is partially correct that good, but not top tier Freshman will still have a choice to go to programs where they can actually play, but it might not be so much of a mid-major as much as a P5 program that isn't a traditional basketball program.
The top basketball programs that are interested in winning NCAA tournament games will focus on 5 stars and transfer portals, which will leave the non traditional basketball schools the chance to recruit the next tier of freshman.
I have to believe there are going to be more rules in the future. The way things are right now is crazy town.
Got to start making players sign multi-year contracts unless they choose to go pro.
I would hope so, but players are taking these things to court and are pretty much winning every time. From what I can tell, I don't think there's really anyone fighting back against it. The NCAA is retaining all this talent for their product and I don't think they're really interested in preserving the integrity of the game or the idea of the student athlete.
Watched some more VJ... Urgh... He makes me uneasy. Not gonna lie. He looks so robotic with pretty much everything he does. Not much looks smooth or natural on offense. Not he shot, not the handle... I have the sneaky feeling he will end up outside my top 5 at the end. He's like... the anti-Tre... And I can't believe it but I think I'm leaning Tre at this point.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be good with us taking him... I just kind of ... Wouldn't mind if Philly or Charlotte took him...
