2024 NBA draft

[RF2044]

Oh my god.

If true, that's awful

Feel bad for the kid, and that has to be publicly transmitted. But much like Patrick Ewing and the sign, I doubt Kolek could read that tweet.

Simon Charles is a wannabe comedian. And not a good one.

So that was fake?

Wouldn't the kid have legal recourse over something like that?

If he falls in the draft he could certainly try.

Kolek as a pro is interesting. Some Steve Nash vibes with this kid…

 

[Newhouser]

off the test thing - I liked Kolak. Right spot and he may have a future off someone's bench.

 

[dasher]

Lol no - people messed with him all year about being dumb.

Had me going

 

[pwong]

This can't be true right? Is this a real thing?

It's a Big East/Providence twitter joke that Kolek can't read. Basically Marquette put out a list of all of their players with a 3.1 GPA or higher for the fall semester and it was like everyone except for Kolek so the joke was that he couldn't read.

I actually met kolek last year and he was a really respectful and his words were well thought

Flip falling makes all the sense in the world. He had a double hip procedure to shave his hips down to move better, but it’s not just his hips that cause issues, he has poor bend and his feet are slow and heavy. He’s already at best a okay defender and this will continue to limit that in the nba with everyone else around him being stronger and faster. He’s not a rim protector, his defense skills on defense are as a big wing playing in ball, but I can’t see that being s big strength against nba players. His best attribute is his scoring, particularly shooting the ball but he only shot 31% from 3 in two seasons. To me flip just seems like the typical college big + very scary injury stuff that doesn’t translate. Then there was the whole tripping a kid during the court storming at wake forest and acting like he got assault and *possibly faked an injury*

Re: Filipowski, he is 20 y/o and his girlfriend is 26, and they started dating while he was in high school and she had already graduated college. Weird.

If I remember correctly, DNIC fell out of draft favor with an erroneous lab test that he had hepatitis. I always wondered if he sued over that?

Which of his classes did she teach?

Sex Ed.

Could have knocked it out of the park if you said tart. Baguette would also work quite well.

She also groomed him and he cut off his family. His family wasn’t in the green room last night

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I am going with JB backed off of his recruitment!

Yeah so I'm just going to get on the record here right away that "Mormon grooming" is NOT something taught in LDS congregations.

She was also his childhood babysitter. Story keeps getting weirder and weirder.

It has been reported that he didn’t do well in team interviews. I’m sure some of this nervousness he had was around these details, etc… and also explains why he dropped.

 

[djcon57]

BCs center Post got picked.

He's tall, I guess

OMG this is like Manti Te'o in reverse.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

These guys in the 2nd round aren't going to amount to anything. So why in the heck would you not take Bronny knowing that the Lakers will trade for him and get you some equity back. It was free money and everyone passed?

What the hell is the NBA doing with a round 2 mid-afternoon on a Thursday?
