if jojo went pro, we’d have likely had our entire starting line up drafted
lol last year team was probably one of the weaker sampson teams, but i actually think we might do some revisionist history in like 5-8 years cause of how many NBA players were on this team “that was one of the most stacked teams we ever had out side of phi slamma”
and remove the context that they were freshmen
if mercy and mccarty (and Harwell) get drafted, that team will be by a big margin have the most drafted players on a single team…
*if sharp and uzan get picked up
The Louisiana influence of my in-laws has made me salty against Atlanta but I’m just glad we get to watch Coogs actually play meaningful minutes in the NBA again…
CBSSports Director of Basketball Scouting Adam Finkelstein released his NBA mock draft in the first round and has Kingston Flemmings going #8 to Atlanta, and Chris Cenac, Jr. going #22 to Philadelphia.
That #22 pick was originally to the Houston Rockets. The Rockets traded that pick to Oklahoma City, who then traded it to Phiiadelphia, for Jared McCain.
Normally not too worried about what the roster looks like for a guy like Cenac who probably waits a year or two anyway, but will be happy if he can stay away from Philly and that culture.
Hoping Grimes finds his way out of there this off season.
