And, a fine young man, Humble, friendly, and funny. Met him at our NYC alumni party and you cannot mold a better person representing our university!

That is so great to hear, Museum. Firstly, that he came to the alumni party and secondly, your comments about him.

Let’s see. First round choice and “has surprised many with his overachieving play this year”.

Maybe if he had stayed at KU he would have either not even been drafted at all, OR at the other extreme certainly not seen as an overachiever simply because he was from KU. It just seems to be sliiiiiiighlty jaded to think that a first-rounder has overachieved. Wonder why? Hmmmmmm.

Late first round draft picks flame out all the time in the NBA. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

NBA first round picks have historically guaranteed very little, even guys picked in the first ten end up flaming out all the time.

And so those that flame out underachieved. But hard to mske the case of one over achieving. Logic 101.

If 85% of first round picks in the mid twenties don’t become starting caliber players, the 15% who do would be the overachievers.

That’s why prima facie they are drafted in the first round. To meet the expectations of a player worthy of being drafted in the first round.

" While it might be possible for the Knicks to move into the top five, doing so wouldn’t be cheap as they would potentially have to part with multiple draft picks in addition to one of their promising young players like Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin or Quentin Grimes. Ultimately, a move may come down to whether or not they’re willing to pay such a hefty price."

Hopefully Grimes gets moved to a team where the coach will actually give him playing time

He was on the bench until January then he got injured again and his minutes got cut again. Knowing Coach Thib he prefers vets but hopefully he plays him like he did in January and February. If not for RJ Barrett Qdot would be starting next season.
