You wonder why posters take an adversarial view to your post. There are other methods of delivering the message.
Anyway yes Milos has areas to work on but Pesik is correct that he doesn’t need to be a finished product. He is at a high enough level and tough enough that I believe being around NBA talent daily can be enough to develop his game. He also checks a lot of boxes of what NBA teams look like.
If he stays or returns this is a WIN for our program.
Nil makes it a bit harder. Youve seen how many old heads return to cbb these past few years lol…
You dont think he cant improve is stock one more in college and he hit his ceiling asa player already ?
The thing about the combine its not for guards like Milos who are unselfish. He really would have to blow them away in the interviews and sell on his height & length.
Not saying he should return but if he was my son and got offer over a mil guaranteed at UH ill advise him to stay. Get the sure thing.
To your point- college basketball is at such a high, because of NIL. Kids are staying in school and making the game so much better. They are not as rushed to get to the NBA.
So some people think taking your team to the championship game as the starting PG would drop your draft stock. BRILLIANT
I said if in previous threads, if he believes he’ll be a 1st rounder, you go pro.
Otherwise stay for another year to try to raise your draft stock. Now he is 22, and he’d be 23 by draft time next year should he stay. So he’s a bit old (in NBA years for a rookie).
I didn’t think that.
But on3 mock draft didnt have him listed. Probably a mistake by them
If he had 1 great game against Duke or Florida, i think we’d see late 1st round projections right now
But, like Pesik said, he can move up draft boards at the combine/individual workouts
He was inconsistent in the tournament. If we’re just talking tournament performance.
if he believes he is an NBA player and one that can stick around long term? you have to go any round if there is a guarantee contract… you have to start the clock of the rookie contract
you will actually make more money as a 2nd round pick with guaranteed contract, than a later 1st round… all 1st rounds have league mandated contracts that last 4 years… 2nd round have negotiated contracts, that can be 3 or 4 years… 1yr+4 years… or potentially just 3 years till he gets real NBA money
not to mention age… which will be hurting him going forward… but a benefit for him is next years draft is weak at pg
as a houston fan i want him back… knowing the replacement we are drastically better than with uzan … if i put my UH ambitions aside, balling out the next 2 months is what is best for him and going pro…
If he goes Pro does Flemings start at PG next November?
Yes.
no, pop is my guess… proven play maker at the big 12 level… dont love it… but offensively it can work
and this is just game 1… in not making any full season prediction
Rotation without Uzan.
Pop
Sharp
Harwell
Tugler
Cenac
Flemings
Mercy
McFarland
Sahko
Still a very nice rotation. The issue here is how young we are. And inexperienced. 5 of our rotation guys will have played very little (if you include Mercy). 4 of them have not played at all at the college level (Flemings, Harwell, Cenac, McFarland). And then you have Pop coming off of hip surgery. Question marks with 6 of your 9 man rotation. And then we have to see how Sahko adjusts to this level. Need Sharp and Tugler to take a huge stride this offseason.
Sampson will not start a freshman at PG, Flemings may work his way into the starter but not at beginning of season
CKS needs to go into a reload rather than a rebuild approach when getting guards these days.
For every freshman you have in your starting lineup, that would equate to about 2 to 3 losses.
I could see KJ getting some minutes if Uzan isn’t here, assuming he can run the point at least as well as Mylik.
And what a crazy depth chart when McCarty doesn’t get any run.
Sampson is gonna have fun with this group.
How did you pull that number out of your ass?
Duke started 3 freshmen. They lost 4 games, all year.
Duke had an advantage of a weaker than normal ACC conference this season.
They had games where they can tinker with the lineup.
The more complex your system is, the more losses it will take to learn.
We lost the Bama and SDSU game because Uzan wasn’t fully on page yet with the offense, and this is with Uzan having experience already.
Duke has all 5-star freshmen
aren’t we having 3 walking through our practice facilities in june tho
the thing is in the big 12 where most games will be close the inexperience might give us some frustrating road losses down the stretch
So do we.
