Very cool… also, dammit, I’m old. Two Boozer’s, Obinna Ekezie Jr., and Marcus Spears Jr.
I had the same thought about myself when I was in Maui for the 2nd game between Michigan State-Colorado. I heard the introductions say "Jason Richardson Jr.". I had to pause and think, "I think I have heard this name before" until I realized, "Oh damn I watched his father play in Michigan State and his entire NBA career".

It made my mid life crisis come faster, LOL.

The way I see it you must still be a kid.

Milt Wagner was a freshman at Louisville during my senior year of college. His grandson is noe playing college basketball.

FWIW Darryn Peterson was named the Naismith High School Player of the Year today and not AJ Dybantsa. That didn't surprise me that much but what did surprise me in this article is that Jonathan Givony has Peterson being drafted overall number 1 over number 2 Dybantsa. I thought Dybantsa was supposed to be the best prospect in the last 10-15 years? Is this going to be like Michael Jordan going 3rd? Or is Peterson really a better prospect? Because that's not what the hype machine has been telling us.

Peterson is awesome. Self must be geeked. Dybantsa gets the edge as a prospect because of his size and athleticism and what you can project him as but I wouldn't be surprised if Peterson is more productive in his one year of college.

Peterson is that good. And he’s not nearly the me first hot dog AJ is. Flagg is the best US prospect of the last 10-15.

Flagg is the best prospect of the last 10-15. He is a far more impactful player IMO. Dybantsa is a better than average first pick, still.

Peterson has the better mentality. Dybantsa could be the next Andrew Wiggins.

Peterson feels like a lock to drop 20 day 1 in college, Dybantsa has better tools to be an all world player in the long term. Can't go wrong with either.

I thought I read a bunch of articles that said Dybantsa is. Looks like they all said Flagg though. Flagg seems to be a better overall player. Dybantsa more potential as a scorer.
