He is a great recruiter. Washington's problem was that they were too talented leading to guys leaving early. Most recently Fultz, year before was Chriss and Murray.

solid hire. Good move

They need more talent. period. Ollie can talk about what guys need to work on but you need to have the talent. UConn's bigs are extremely limited and often looked overwhelmed. The biggest thing this team needs is Ollie to work as hard as possible to find more talent. He hasn't shown a great...

The Celtics don't do business like that. They have multiple plans for every pick they have. Everything is viewed as an asset and they want to maximized the value of each asset. They are much more likely to include second round picks in a trade or draft an unknown international player with potential.

I never said it was just about giving him advice. Some degree doesn't mean they will draft him. He wouldn't have been invited if they had no interest. lol. The Celtics bring in a ton of players most of whom they aren't strongly considering drafting but want to take a closer look at. Brimah...

Good experience for Brimah working out for the Celtics. Brad Stevens is involved with many of the pre-draft workouts. Interacting with Brad Stevens is only going to help him(if Stevens participated). Realistically, Celtics probably wouldn't draft him. He doesn't fit in to their style of play...

Who does Hamilton have more in common with the UConn players or Blake Griffin and the Zeller brothers? When deciding on an agent, it seems like you would consider how the careers of players who were in similar situations turned out. It makes sense to me.

Yeah, definitely the two UConn players you would hope your pro career turns out like. yikes

Ollie should be the head coach, he has won a NC. B.S. about prior USA experience but no surprise coming from Boeheim who has only 1 NC in 40 years of coaching.

Maybe smart from a short-term financial standpoint, but not smart from a long-term legacy/winning standpoint. Villanova could dominate the Big East for years to come and could build off the NC this year. Their team this year reminded me of the 99 UConn team. They had less talent than UConn'99...

I highly doubt he leaves. He has had NBA offers in the past. He is a college coach, but I do think NBA players would like him. Villanova will dominate the Big East as long as Jay Wright is there. He seems like a loyal guy.

No guarantee he will be moderately wealthy. He is not a sure fire pro prospect.

Hamilton doesn't get it. He needs a lot of work on his game/body to stick in the league. His play was mistake ridden this year. Success comes through mastering the details. A third year of college should have been a no brainer for him. No shortcuts to success. He had a hard time physically...

I like his game. He might not be an NBA player but he could be a very solid college player. A question that might not be emphasized enough when evaluating players is, does the kid actually know how to play the game? He does and thats good. Players who actually know how to play help you win games.

We just won our 4th 2 years ago, lol. They won their third in 2008. So yeah just from a time stand point they've had more opportunities. Yes, Kansas is a great program. We can't match their history but our success is underestimated.
