This kid sounds like he is going to get some major playing time as a defender. Has made it a focus of his game for a long time. Comes from a family of high level athletes as well.

Love this. I wasn't particularly worried about offense with this group. Great to hear there's a defense-first stud in the stable.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Ooooh man. Quality kid. Love the grandpa title. There's never anything wrong with being mentally mature for your age. Lots of success in store for this dude's future.

I seem to remember reading about how Tekele's mom was a basketball coach and pounded a defense-first mentality into him.78-65Comment

Actually Tekele had an injury in high school that affected his recruiting. Some sort of leg injury as I recall....Kansas is Flat. The Earth is Not!!

I thought after the free public scrimmage this dude was possibly the most impressive Freshman I've seen in the GM era. Did not disappoint after last night. Kid is going to be good real good.Comment

I think it all starts with Jamarius this season. I think he's the building block at PG that gets this team in position to score. He's got the talent, mindset and toughness to emerge as the floor general and leader of this team.FINAL FOURS:

I’m all in on JB! I think he might be more effective as a 3 this season; working as a second PG to Torres, with SHJ working as a third PG. We need two plus PGs on the floor this year. Dennis and Stevenson as the other two guys playing the 1-3 so long as Allen is out.Originally posted by AZ Shocker View PostLivin the dreamComment
