How many years did Kolek play in college?

Why does that matter? You said and I quote, “ I feel pretty darned good that he won't touch an NBA roster. G League does not count. We make it sound like getting to the NBA is easy. Most of these kids, if they truly are NBA players, establish that pretty early”.

Kolek was at George Mason his freshman year.

I’d encourage you to look at NBA rosters. They aren’t filled with MCDAA one and done guys. More and more 2nd round picks and 4 year players are sticking than has been in the one and done era. Cam Spencer is a rotation player on Memphis. Tristen Newton is playing himself into a contract, he’ll be at all star weekend. Silas and Lewis absolutely have a good shot at making an NBA Roster one day.

Strawman arguments from Ruff Ruff. Lol.

If you trace back the POV, it started with whether Lewis might portal out in the offseason. It was mentioned by the Sleepers team. I brought it up, SJ asked why would he leave Nova. The argument started in that he is likely a 4 year college player that will want to maximize NIL, and chase whoever is getting him the most. He's already left one program (UK), for Nova after listing the Blue Bloods.

So rather than constantly slap the strawman thing, pay attention to the point of the argument.

Yes, those guys found their way into the NBA - but they didn't leave early. They were 4-5 year players. And in today's age, those kids look to maximize $$ as the NBA route is no guarantee, especially at his size. Sure there are some small guards up there, but they're an exception.

You said he wouldn’t be on an NBA roster. That’s what I responded to

I couldn’t care any less about the rest of the discussion.

You clarified a previously idiotic take. Thank You.

I don't think he will, but there is deeper context to why it was brought up that was more the point. It was an NBA profile in context of an early leaver/draft pick.

Lewis decommitted before ever going to Kentucky, it happens all the time. Same thing McNeeley and other UConn players have done in the past.

I asked why would he leave Nova and asked what is this NBA profile you keep talking about. I know you've said Silas doesn't have an NBA profile either so I asked what is this NBA profile.

So this NBA profile for point guards is about height and about leaving early?

I pointed out all the point guards on the list you linked of the top point guards in the NBA and more than half of them are Demary's height or shorter. You're still pretending short point guards are the exception. The average listed height of an NBA point guard 6'2.6 inches.

Dude, you already brought this up and I've already pointed out multiple times how it's nonsense. Do you even read the links you share or the messages you reply to?

It's honestly really strange.

How is Petersen being considered the number 1 pick. The guy is always hurt or not playing. He’s like khawi of college ball.

Unfortunately he’s that good. AJ can score, doesn’t pass or defend well. Peterson, when he isn’t taking a night off, is gifted in all phases of the game. Never seen a more annoying player. This was probably the best chance for Arizona to lose in league play.
