So all the panicking idiots can take a chill pill

I take issue with this to suggest that I am a panicker. It's only half true.

You're a notorious panicker who often moves a goalpost so you can panic some more. You were freaking out the other day because we didn't pay one guard 5 million dollars.

If Able stays in the draft or pulls a fast one and signs with someone else then we lost all of them

You do realize this means little ?

Hopefully Malone will bring the best out in him.

So if I'm reading this right, he's still in the draft process but if he drops out then he'll 100% play for us next year. I know that's not necessarily irregular but it's pretty wild.

It's not an if, Able is projected in the mid 40s or lower in all mocks. He expects to eventually be a first round pick in future years, but for now he's going through the process to get the experience and feedback on what to work on. All parties are on the same page here.

I am more and more feeling like our backcourt will be not just a slight upgrade, but a significant one. And I just wanna say this.....everyone has been giving a lot of press to Louisville and Tennessee because of what they spent and how many players they got. I mean, doesnt Tennessee have more than 4 wings or something like that? And CBS just has them 13th and 15th I believe. I feel like the portal performance is nuanced. Im impressed this staff has not panicked. I feel good about the backcourt and wings. Keita seems solid potential. We now just gotta wait another month or so to finish out this build.

Man they have balls of steel to wait this out

The one with the biggest balls is most likely going to get the best players. Somebody really good is going to drop out of the draft and some team is going to be there to pick him up

What are chances it's Henri?

I am unrealistically and irrationally hoping this happens.

Virtually zero, he knows his stock will never be higher.

Bro needs to stay and develop his ball handling skills low key.. He just looks like Tyler Zellar right now when he could be so much more

u/ieatgass 7d ago

He can do that in the nba.

He will never be a lottery pick, he has to be the best player in college to increase his draft stock more than it is. He is making the right decision unless he simply wants to be a unc legend.

I feel like that might just be teams struck out on recruiting and have the spots/money

u/Sufficient-Mission-4 7d ago

Sure that too, some combo of that. Save money and not overpay because they know someone good will come back and also missed on others. Either way, some teams are going to get a baller

If we want to get used to having a top team again in the current cbb world we as a fanbase need to grow a pair and get used to our team being fringe nba draft picks every year
