I just want to get this out of the way: KJ Smith will be the greatest backup PG in the history of the game. Bank on it.
Yeah, but if Roy knew what he was doing he would put Platek there.
Other than him being white and having a decent shot, I'm not sure why anyone would want to put him there. Maybe there are some practice reports that I'm not aware of.
High bb IQ. Coach on the floor. Gym Rat
I already said he was white.
Man, I wish we could discuss our PG situation for next year. I guess I’ll hop over to radar and see if anyone has a thread about that...

Practice reports say the same thing.I hear Andrew Platek is the front runner...heard it through the grape vine
Hearing chatter that Manley will play point, he has manly handles. My source who has never been not wrong confirmed this. Platek will play other four spots simultaneously.
I have a basketball friend who's still connected to the basketball circuit. He has told me that baby jet has been tearing it up during the intermural scrimmages at Granville. Don't let the fact that he accomplished next to nothing in high school and college fool you. He is going to surprise a lot of people. Look for him to get 60 minutes a game by the time conference play roles around.
Good to hear . . !
60 minutes a game tho . . I guess we'll be playing a ton of multi-overtime games.
Not only that, they were practice reports you weren’t there for
so you must be right.
I've got an inside connection from my days of playing NBA Jam.Not only that, they were practice reports you weren’t there for
Luke is testing the waters. Smart move all things considered, get feedback on what he needs to improve, which isn't much since he's already top 5 to ever lace em up.

Top 5 is a bit conservative at this point don't ya think?
Well, you know, he has to win another championship or two to leap Kareem and Magic for me.
Hopefully NBA scouts fail to see he's the second coming of Larry Bird and he returns.
I know, I mean, Larry was only a supporting role in Space Jam where Luke will be the star of Space Jam 2.
So the commission didn't use common sense and recommend the Olympic model. Just a bunch of crap that won't make a dent in the problem. No surprise.

Why is Condy Rice the person we go to for sports reform? I'm not saying she's good/bad, just why her?
Agree with you though, this will amount to nothing being done about the shoe programs preying on poor kids.
I'm not really sure. I guess her resume and the fact that she is liked by most groups. And in the spirit of OOTB and not being political correct, the fact that she is a black woman helps as well. A bunch of old white guys making recommendations that will mostly impact black kids wouldn't look good.
Ah good point, didn't think of it that way (cuz, ya know, I'm one of those super woke people that doesn't see color /s).
Not to get too far off subject, but I think in society's attempt to "not see" color we are now focused on it more than ever.
We'll see what comes out of their talks with the NBA. They're the ones who have the power to change the rule.
She served on the inaugural College Football Playoff committee. She also oversaw the athletics department at Stanford in her role as provost there. She has administrative experience in collegiate athletics.
That's only for the OAD rule The NBA has no power over the NCAA when it comes to amateurism rules. If they want to go to the Olympic model the NBA can't stop them.
There has never been a truer statement made.
Sure. But it’s more the reason that @tarheel0910 stated. She’s a black woman that has credibility with many different groups. Most importantly, as 0910 alluded to, she’s a black woman that the old white dudes who make the decision like. I think they truly respect and admire her as she is worthy of both. But they also know that she can protect them from potential backlash because of her sex and race.
Not sure why I read "Olympic model" as "OAD." My bad.
Took me a second to figure out you meant the Olympic model should have been recommended.
We agree. It would completely take universities off the hook from having to pay athletes, which is what they want. It's so so so so obvious; thus, it will never be enacted.
