I just can't believe that Luka Garza is seen as a mid Second rounder due to "lack of burst"

I mean come on the kid can unquestionably ball like a motherfucker and is a hell of a shooter too

This reminds me of all those stupid NFL/NBA teams that pick athletes and not football players and wonder why they suck year after year

Name an NBA player that Luka Garza can defend.

I think Garza could be a decent scorer at the next level. But I think his +/- would be near the bottom of the league.

Garza is very skilled scorer and shooter at this level.
Is painfully slow and can't really jump.

Might be an OK bench guy in league, but the NBA is full of ridiculous athletes and size.

Frederick leaving says he must be sick of the Fran bullshit.

Iowa has a couple very nice wings in the younger McCaffery, and Murray. Frederick would have been their point guard. Toussaint is pretty quick and is decent.

If Weiskamp stays and they find someone to play center they will be OK..

Yeah, Weiskamp is up in the air right now.  Doubt he'd come back.  He could make some money playing somewhere, might get drafted.

He certainly can make money. Kid is a baller.
Not sure about NBA, but maybe so.

Sans Weiskamp, they'd be returning 1 starter?  Connor, who doesn't score. 

I'm not sure they're exactly reloading.  The younger McCaffery is a good player.  Murray?  Toussaint?  IDK, looks rough to me. 

As long as we continue to beat them, all is right with the world.

Name an NBA team that gives a shit about defense (joking, sort of)

Idk the name of the game is to put the ball in the hoop and there's a lot of athletes out there that can't seem to do it

I'm just surprised that they are writing him off... wouldn't surprise me to see a team like the Spurs pick him up though and see him succeed

could make a career like robert horry standing in the corner hitting 3's as a tall guy

Well, to be fair we are returning one fulltime starter unless you count Grandison. Of course this is Curbelo's team IMO and the Plummer pickup was big.

Believe it or not they do. The level of quickness and speed and spacing is unreal. Hard to contain the great scorers.
