It's going to be more palatable now to get rid of Miller. With Olson you could stomach the first round losses because he ran a good program and had earned the faith placed in him. With all the negative stuff floating around Miller you can't go out in the 1st round twice in 3 years. Will they fire him with cause now? I don't know, but I can see a situation where he's bought out for a fraction of his contract. The problem then becomes who can you get to coach the program? It would have to be one of Lute's disciples. Pastner's hands are dirty too though. I could see a former player being brought in though that might just be Kevin Ollie & UCONN al over again. I'm just really bummed about the state of all my teams right now. The 'Cats, the Suns, the Saints (our owner just passed away,) and the D'backs are all having issues. It's enough to make me want to take a break from sports.

I'll be surprised if he declares this year. I think he's a fringe first rounder right now, but he has lottery upside if he comes back.

He's also not a typical one-and-done type of player academically. By all accounts, he's smart and actually intends to earn his degree someday. I definitely think he'd be gone if he was projected in the lottery, but it's just not happening this year.

But a fun disappointment, if he has anything of his father in him.
I agree I’m excited to see him play, I just don’t expect him to be able to hold up against bigger players.
He'll be fine in college. The NBA? I also have my doubts.

Hmmm, I've seen him projected mid 1st, some have him as a late lotto pick. We'll see what happens.

What's wrong with the Dbacks? It's only spring but we're in 1st in the NL West, our starting and relief pitching has looked great and Souza should offset a good chunk of JD's production with his glove and speed on the bases (along with Dyson). I'm excited about the Dbacks this season!

At least Cats fans can have a short reprieve of laying the biggest turd in the tournament thanks to UVA.

SGA looks good. I'd combine our two mid first picks to move up and draft him.

SGA finishes with a 27/6/6 with 2 steals on 10/12 shooting, 2/2 from 3.

Diallo with 22/8/1, with 2 blocks and a steal. 9/12 from the field.

Idk about moving up for him, but someone is going to fall in love with a couple players in that range I'm betting. Probably will be in good demand.

I love SGA, but idk about moving up for him. Do you think he can defend nba pgs enough to start next to Booker?

Maybe Charlotte grabs him around #10. If I was Utah, I would go crazy trying to pair him with Mitchell.
