Maliq Brown to Duke

[Cusesky8214]

 

[dasher]

Agreed. Feels like bringing him in would suggest Bell is def staying. Give him a post guy to play off of

He is staying. Or so I have been told. But in todays world, who knows. But you can't run unless you have the ball. If this kid can get us the ball, we can still run.

A bigger Otis Hill.

I was thinking DJ Burns

Copeland would not start here next year. Major head case who can’t shoot and has a many turnovers as assists.

You highly underrate Copeland. You better hope we get somebody who is at least as good as he is. Same for Brown. I don't think that's going to be easy

 

[Melancer46]

I thought we wanted to run. This guy is more of a plodding type player.

You don't need all 5 guys running to have a transition offense.

 

[Cusesky8214]

If we land big Eddie then all is good in the world. Maliq can go sail off into the sunset.

Chance is a lot better. Not even close between the two of them.

I’m looking at it this way, at least in the front court. We’re essentially trading Maliq and Taylor’s production with Freeman’s and Lampkin which is an upgrade. Maliq and Lampkin may be an overall loss but he’s a legit center but Freeman can be a step above awful and be better than Taylor.

PG
JJ/Westry
Bell/Westry
Freeman
Lampkin/Mcleod/Patterson

Give me a solid backup 4/5 guy, a pass first guard and an upgrade at SG (know it won’t happen) and I think we could easily be a tournament team.

Red really needs to be ready to yank Bell and Starling for defense and Westry needs to be ready.

I certainly hope so

Ya, need that PG. Can't be the JJ/Westry/Cuffe/Choppa poo poo platter handling the ball.

It’s what’s going to make this team a contender or back to the bubble.

Freeman certainly in another stratosphere from Taylor. I haven't seen this Lampkin stuff but yeah Brown and Lampkin are probably in similar territory

 

[rrlbees]

There was a rumor we had a visitor this weekend. Could it have been Lampkin?

 

[rrlbees]

I knew I was worried.

could make some since with him being in NYC now.

He appears to be in NYC at the moment.

Just get invited and you never know

3 guys who are bad defensively and another unproven at that end. Extremely skeptical this would work.

 

[Sbucketball]

Choppa’s IG story is a vid of Lampkin with the eye emoji and “?”

 

[PeteCalvin]

JT told GMac about Brown, a friend of JT’s since middle school. GMac recruited both JT and Brown. JT leaves, GMac leaves - now Brown is leaving. Uncertainty about his role. Relationships matter. Sad to hear he’s leaving.

EDITED:

My son’s friend saw Maliq at Funk n Waffles over the weekend and asked him if he was coming back. His response: “S-expletive, I THINK so.” My son told me this last night before any of this happened. When I heard the response I was a bit vexed based on what I heard here. Something is up, and I think it’s more about playing time than a bag of $$$. News coming?

 

[SWC75]

Enough with the word salads. Players should tell us why they are leaving.

Glass half full...

If he truly is uncoachable, you're overrating him.

 

[SWC75]

So glad a few weeks ago he and his mom.both said he would be back

Wonder where his handlers pushed him too

Well, at least his Mom will be back.

getting someone with better highlihgt tape will probably be impossible

getting someone who doesnt turn it over 6 times in important games will be easy (and welcome)

Just like they should give us poor fans all the details about their injuries and ailments. It's un-American to withhold this information!
