Only thing I disagree with is Pohto being a great rebounder

[pinstripers]

I can only assume he’s rating the trade value and not like the actual player themselves. Have a hard time seeing Colby rogers as less than KP

he hasn't actually seen them play

Abidde shot 34.5% from 3 last year. I know it wasn't high volume, but that isn't exactly "can't shoot a lick".

ChatGPT just makes stuff up sometimes.

Not bball related but worth the read to be blown away with the magnitude of the NIL deals.

The article specifically mentioned a signed contract.

That involved Eddie Rojas, CEO of Gator Collective, who allegedly texted Zager about the impending deal: "Tell Jaden we look forward to setting him up for life. Need to set up his brokerage accounts asap. Dude is rich and we just got started." The deal was officially signed on Nov. 10, 2022, with the first $500,000 payment due to Rashada on Dec. 5.

Love to see it. I hope all those involved experience great pain and suffering.

Oh! And guess what?!! Here come the bloodsucking lawyers...

So AAU basketball has went the way of NBA players past or present sponsoring programs. When will it happen with college basketball as corporate millionaires start seeing this as a waste of money? Team FVV, The Wichita State Bet on Yourselves Shockers, actually has a nice vibe.
