Eventually Freeman's zoomie will wear off. But meanwhile I can understand other teams interest in his potential. A potential he never quite realized here. I can only imagine how Pitino would've developed him.

Donnie will do well at a Blue Blood. I’m happy for him. Imagine taking the money hit he supposedly took and having a season like him and the rest of the team had. He’ll be great on a team where he’s not the only option.

This is a huge loss in my opinion. I hope he gets healthy and tears it up. No inside knowledge but never seemed the same after that awkward fall during his last game or second to last before he missed time.

He will do well. He also has limitations in his game that might not work their way out until he gets to the next level be that the G League etc. I don’t know if it’s his foot or not but he is slower footed than expected which will plague him until he gets a lot stronger.

I don't get the George love - 3 seasons of college ball. 40% FG, 31% from 3 and a 2-1 assist to TO ratio.

Guy is not a winning player and put up good assists stats on bad teams because someone has to get assists.

Same reason (IMHO) Donnie's 17 and 7 numbers are skewed. Someone has to put up numbers, doesn't necessarily mean they helped with winning.

I would point out that George had one of the highest on/off splits in the entire country lol. The team completely fell apart any time he was on the bench.

Donnie's impact was not at profound but he was also hugely positive. William Kyle and JJ Starling were huge negatives.

Not a shock considering what our other options were.

I’m not a big fan of trying to determine who “cares more” but I agree with everything else in this post.

Caring wins championships, but so does having equal parts talent.
