Okafor averaged 16 & 11 his sophomore year. He refined his offensive game a bit for his final season, but he was an incredible player as a sophomore too. Okafor was simply a better scorer, rebounder, and shot blocker. This thread should be titled "After Okafor, who was our best center?".

I don't think he would have lasted a week under Calhoun. I played with and against Fluff for ages. My man is a gunner's gunner with no regard for defense.

Gotta throw Tim Abromaitis out there. Better player than quite a few already mentioned. Knew he was a diamond in the rough/sleeper.

I think Ewing is properly rated. If anything, history is forgetting him. His knees were pretty much toast by the time he hit 30. He also had by far the worst supporting casts of any of the 90s stars. He's always rated below Hakeem, Shaq, and the Admiral and often not mentioned in the same...

Reggie Miller is always the first one that comes to mind.

I doubt I'll have much time to play this whenever it comes out, but College Hoops 2K8 is my favorite game ever. It was ahead of it's time in so many areas. The legacy/dynasty mode is still more impressive than anything out there today.

I misread. Thought you were talking about the dad looking for resources.

In this day and age I'd tell someone to go to social media and watch a bunch of videos from the top guys. There are YouTube channels with a bunch of content from college and NBA coaches and as well as the skill trainers who work with NBA guys in the summer. You can find everything from drills...

In the US college football is head and shoulders above any other sport. Penn State at night, et al are worth watching just for the atmosphere. That handful of top venues.

Tough to think of a place better than MSG.

I'm expecting 20-25.

Like the Raptors did with Dwayne Casey in 2018? Hell, Casey even won Coach of the Year a week before they fired him. I'd say that move worked out for the delusional Raptors front office. Thibs' ceiling has been a running joke in the NBA forever. He's the guy to help turn around a team, not the...

Yep. One of the coaches from the ECF will wind up in the Hall of Fame. The other will not. I get that sometimes coaching superiority can be a bit subtle at the NBA. This was not one of those times. This isn't even a small sample size. This is what Carlisle has been for 25 years. This is what...

Certainly OKC's defense vs Indy's offense is the story here. The Knicks defense had plenty of lapses and bad stretches and there won't be two easy marks to hunt in KAT and Brunson. Meanwhile, OKC needed 7 games to dispose of a blah Denver squad in the semis. Wouldn't surprise me if this goes...

I'm not sure a Thibs-led Pacers team even makes the playoffs. Talk about oil and water.
