College (and NBA) Hoops

Draymond Green suspended indefinitely for his dig at Nurkic. He's such a fucking bellend.

This Zach Edey character looks decent. Got a bit of a mad look though.

Yeah, his performances recently have been phenomenal. Having a 7'10" wingspan helps.

Surprised to see his draft potential is where it is, I guess the game has moved on since the last time I watched the final four when everyone shat their pants over Greg Odom and Kevin Durrant went 2nd. No longer a game for the big men when midgets are draining threes from everywhere. Feels like another data driven thing making a sport much less of an appealing spectacle.

It's not that it's not a game for the big men necessarily, it's just not a game for the traditional big men anymore. They also have to know how to shoot threes nowadays (see Jokic, Wembanyama and the likes). And yes sadly it does make for a more boring spectacle on average. Fast transition plays leading to 3s especially.

NBA's obsession with stats is also ridiculous. From Holmgren's wiki: "He also joined Michael Jordan as the only rookies in NBA history to put up at least 35 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, and two three-pointers made in a game."
