Tomislav arrived yesterday per Piper. Didn’t see it posted here.

First time poster long time lurker I have a bold take. Towards the end of the season we'll realize dlg is better than Boswell. Just need that on record.
Definitely more athletic but Boswell can shoot lights out and handle with the best.

Very good prediction but I’m going with the lighter weight Boswell scoring and assisting more but DGL being more electric, like a microwave

They have Jacucionis at #11 in 1st round 👀 and Demin at #16 with Riley at #19. Rutgers has two players in top 4 draft. Rutgers-Illinois game will be fun to watch.
Rutgers is very interesting this year. I think people are overestimating them because I don't think two stars make up for how bad the rest of the team is. Basketball being five players on the floor means two stars can cover up a lot of issues, so it's really a question of how much can they cover up?

Here’s Lithuania’s second game (vs Italy), but KJ didn’t play. Anyone know why? I didn’t even see him on the sideline.

No need to watch it unless you just need a July basketball fix.

He actually shot a jump shot? From more than 5 feet from the basket? I think I just fell out of my chair.

Just stumbled onto this...KJ ranked #61 on On3.

Ummm...

The fact that none of us have seen him play and this is the first real exposure that he's getting within the States....what would you expect? If he puts in 20 PPG, shows NBA athleticism, that will rise. Keep in mind, troubles aside, TJ only snuck into the first round and we saw 100 times more of TJ than KJ. Honestly, that goes for any of the European players.
