Here's a cool twitter account that has updates on some of our former players that are now playing in different places across the globe.

So we've got:

Ryan Boatright - Paris Basketball, France
Josh Boone - Defensor, Uruguay (Montevideo)
Omar Calhoun - Ternopil TNEU, Ukraine
DeAndre Daniels - KTP Basket, Finland (Kotka)/Manawatu Jets, New Zealand
Gavin Edwards - Chiba Jets, Japan (Funabashi)
Kentan Facey - Basket Club de Souffelweyersheim, France (Alsace)
Sterling Gibbs - Telenet Giants, Belgium (Antwerp)
Niels Giffey - Alba Berlin, Germany (where he plays with Peyton Siva!)
Lasan Kromah - Cholet Basket, France
Terry Larrier - Norrköping Dolphins, Sweden
Shonn Miller - Soles de Mexicali, Mexico
Rodney Purvis - Wilki Morskie Szczecin, Poland
Hasheem Thabeet - Hsinchu JKO Lioneers, Taiwan

Missing/whereabouts unknown: Not sure if Marcus Williams finally retired, didn't see Daniel Hamilton on roster for Bursaspor (Turkey) where he played in 2020. Christian Vital remains in limbo. And what is Bazz doing outside the PR National Team?

A couple first rounders, even a high lottery pick above. Chief tried to give Bouknight’s handlers a little context and benefit from experience. Unfortunately, they just seem to make decisions based on the best case scenario and do not seem to want to be bothered by the spectrum of various possible outcomes that often happen in real life.

Just stop it already. James Bouknight will be just fine. I'm certain he has no idea who "Chief" is. Your act has aged very poorly.

I was into the act as much as anybody but was devastated to find out he wasn’t in on the joke when he was exiled. When he came crawling back as a shell of himself with the mystique of it being an elaborate troll gone, I had to hit that ignore button.... been enjoying it ever since

Not a slight to any of those guys but Bouk’s game is literally modeled after what GM’s would consider a perfect NBA player. 3 level scorer, elite athlete. He’s gonna be in the league for a loooong time

His handlers probably laughed in your face and rightly so lmao

Giffey playing with Peyton Siva! That would be fun to watch. Two gladiators.

Well, they are predicting Top 10 pick, I hope they are right and then they can laugh at Chief. Chief is merely repeating what I am hearing. True, some time passes between memories of MSG and the NCAA game and the draft - let’s hope that moves the needle some.

A ton of mock drafts have him top 10 as well. He's a consensus lottery pick lol

I think your information is dated and I am going by League sources not mock drafts. My sources say late lottery - hope they are wrong but absent a secret agreement with a team, and it’s too early for that, my sources are likely right.

hehe. young khalid flies up onto the table, and could care less if he flew off into the stands, and broke something. no worries, just take an aspirin or a pepsi, and be on the court tomorrow.
old khalid ambles over to the table, steps up with one leg, and when the team rushes over to lift him up, he gestures 'whoa, easy there gents, calm down, don't hurt me - i like my paycheck.' life is funny like that.

List is also 10 4 year college players & 3 Jr’s. Couldn’t it also indicate staying too long in college is a negative?!?

The point Chief was making is that it’s important to be ready when drafted. Because, it’s not only about being drafted but about being ready. The guys who were 4 year guys were generally not projected to go lottery or for the most part even first round.

This must be Chief because I can't see the comments and it's so ridiculous. He's claiming to have NBA sources now? Bwahahahaha.
Expand ...
You got it. He’s saying that he tried to talk to bouknights people to tell them that his league sources say he will no longer be a lottery pick and he should come back to school....lol

As if Chief has better league sources than the kid who is actually talking to NBA scouts every day 😂
 
i don't know too much aboot the draft stuff, i just watch players and remember who i think is real good. like evan. he good, real good. yet, when i looked at some mocks, and saw that bj boston is guessed to be in the 20s or 30s, i thought 'that ain't right. he good, real good.' like, guess his spot using only my 2 hands good.
i really can't believe that some drafter won't be thinking the same thing. and jackson, also from kentucky? in the 30s? with only a handful of bigs mentioned in the first 40? i don't think so. i like him too. i bet some of those drafters do as well.
