Really happy for Cole. Also this shows how important a fit is for a player. Some kids skill sets are made for certain teams. His was perfect for us

Yeah bummer the team was constructed in such a ridiculous way last year. Cole + a couple of the guys who transferred out could have been special and would have been a squad that could have beaten anyone honestly.

Glad we got him to the league in the end hes going to play some games for certain this year. I don't know if he gets a cup of coffee if he never leaves Nova or picks a different school than us to transfer to.

Fit in the NBA is Uber important.

Still not sure Cole or Buddy have enough to play in the NBA on the defensive end, but at least Cole has some height and can rebound decently.

If he started here he would have left after his sophomore year lol

Your belief. My belief is he would had stayed 4 years. All conjecture on both of our parts.

 

[rrlbees]

Bang. First shot.

 

[llandz]

Bang. First shot.

Also had the first rebound of the game...

Cole is unbelievable. Works without ball, can put it on deck a bit, shot fake, even made a nasty pass. Actually just got a steal as I’m typing. My god he should have been our offense.

 

[rrlbees]

2-2 from 3.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

2-2 from 3.

And I mean he’s covered there

I mean to be fair he kinda was for the second half of the season

 

[rrlbees]

6 pts, 2 rebs, 1 ast and 1 stl at half on 2-3 from 3. They missed the ast and steal.

 

[rrlbees]

Transition layup.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Just blocked a shot, ran the court and finished a reverse layup in traffic. Would have been possible ACC POY

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Another steal… truly unreal

 

[rrlbees]

Just hit another 3 as Laker HC Ham was saying they wanted to surround AD and LeBron with shooters.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

There goes that man! Tech Ft and a 3 to bring them back to within 3

 

[rrlbees]

Back to back 3’s and fouled on the 2nd one.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

The man is insane. A 4pt play to tie the game…

 

[Cuse_NYC]

8-0 swider run that was to tie it

 

[rrlbees]

Some of these Laker players need to realize Cole can shoot.

 

[orangefog]

I haven't been able to watch these games. But, from what it sounds like, this is how he was playing in the preseason games last year. Then, the year started, and he was in a funk. It always felt to me like he wasn't sure what his place was on last year's team until the end of the year. He thought he should be the star, but he was trying to take a back seat. It just seemed weird.

 

[Cuse4455]

A guy in a Carmelo Cuse jersey just got in a fight and got kicked out. Lol

 

[rrlbees]

Bunch of ball hogs. Tie game final shot with Cole alone in the corner but the 23rd crazy shot is taken by some guard.
