DC getting 1.01b hype - Rocketing up draft boards

[KemBuckets21]

Am I losing my mind or does the title of this thread fluctuate between 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03?

This is all true but why has there been no marketing for men's college basketball lately and a tremendous push for women's college basketball?

I get that Clark was going for the scoring record but she broke it and there's been wall to wall coverage for her and the women's game ever since. You have to go to podcasts like Dauster's to get any serious men's college basketball talk.

Because ESPN doesn't have the Big East.

I love Steph but it is not fair to compare him to the game Jordan was bringing with him to the nba after his junior year.

To your second comp because it had to be Bowie since he was picked before Jordan. It is also interesting because if I remember correctly, I believe he injured his foot and never really recovered or not enough for him to be the player that was drafted.

So let’s hope DC has no more issues with his feet. If he stays healthy I think he will have a much better nba career than Bowie.

Too your overall point, I think I agree. I think Steph will end up being a better nba player than DC. I really think if Steph lands on the right team he may be a starter next year. DC more than likely will be a rotation player and will play based on the texture of each game and how it is being played and called.

I agree with all that and to be fair you can't compare anyone with MJ.
And yes, let's hope DC stays healthy and has a long illustrious career.

I only compared both because....it's the Boneyard and that's what we do.

the women's game had their tipping point moment in 2023 when Clark/Iowa upset an undefeated SC team, the TV networks and brands saw the numbers and decided to get behind them. men's game is gonna need a player like that that moves the needle and have them go deep in the tourney to have that attention sprinkle on the rest of the game. feels like the last player that really had motion like that in the men's game was Zion.

ESPN has the women’s tournament rights and no men’s games

they prop up their property all the time. Acc stuff is always front and center.

Mike Jordan 6' 6"
Steph 6' 5+"

Sam Bowie 7' 1"
DC 7" 2"

Now, let's say you have the 2nd overall pick. Who do you choose 40 years later?

Bowie was constantly injured so you don’t know how good he might have been so that’s unfair.
Who knew Jordan we be the player he became because in Dean Smiths system you were a cog in the wheel
Jordan also had holes in his game that he made onto strengths . His work ethic was off the charts .

Because ESPN doesn't have the Big East.

ESPN doesn’t have the men’s tournament either , Ssy what you want about them but they have influence .

In a sea of what most deem mediocrity, DC brings things to the table you just don’t find often - an instinctive young 7’3” kid with a great stroke and attitude, on the upswing. To me he’s one of the safer selections, although the injury thing would worry me slightly.

ESPN doesn't have March Madness, TruTV does.
