Now that we’ve added Dirk Nowitzki to the roster…
- Thread starter Aike
- Start date
Yeah. He won’t hit these shots every time, but good grief. NBA scouts just realized we got a dude better than Bradshaw and Ugonna. And Tre Mitchell’s minutes can finally come down. And if Adou ever comes back and plays the 3, wow!
Z would start on most teams. But most teams don't have Edwards.
You just be insufferable to watch a game with. Kid comes in and does that after being screwed by the NCAA all season and that's your response? Lol my man get a perspective.
I dont think Z is a 3. The Edwards hatred by our fanbase is nauseating at this point.
I’ve seen Dirk miss a shot, can’t say the same for Big z.
I will say he is already a better defender than Dirk. 😁 😁 😁 😁
The Canadians are throwing their hats in the ring.
I can’t wait to see him drive and dunk on someone. That’s his trademark in the highlight videos lol.
And we've got a nice collection of them already on our resume: SGA, Murray, Lyles, Magloire, etc.
Should have been Barrett as well, but he's also the most likely to support transgender rights in the next collective bargaining deal, so I'm okay with it.
I’m thinking our ranking in your model may improve soon.
Porzingis is back, he’s crushing with the Celtics now.
For sure, he had a nice bounceback with Dallas, and then another nicer bounce back with Boston. But, i wonder if those injuries have held back his potential. I think he'll be a good 3rd or maybe even a 2nd option for teams.. but his trajectory could have been THE option for a team.
It might. Got to guard somebody though!
Here's a hypothetical I've been thinking about the last 20 mins. If we go on a tear with Big Z in the lineup and look much more dominant in the last half of the season, does the selection committee take the early season losses without Z in the lineup into consideration? Or nah?
For us? Probably not. However, we only have 3 losses today. If we REALLY go on a tear it won’t matter.
It’s easy to see why the NCAA didn’t want him suiting up for UK.
You got to wonder how close the NCAA watched him practice with UK. Im real upset about this thought. Wonder what the overall evaluation was.
The eye test is off the charts with this team. Regardless of what metrics say I can't imagine we aren't a top 3 team in the nation. Number 1 in my opinions as we have so many offensive threats, regardless of defensive liability I just don't see anyone with a higher ceiling or better chance to cut down the nets. I've been saying that for a while but adding Z ramped it up another notch.
Yeah, even the most optimistic among us didn't expect Big Z's start. Talk about exceeding big expectations!
You will see him listed as a lottery pick in mock drafts within a week or so.
And I don’t know that anyone on this board expected this. It must be evident day in and day out at practice and somehow we didn’t know.

Might go down tomorrow now. Cheating refs will do that to you.
There’s no doubt about it.
And if Thiero were healthy and playing 25mpg, he’d actually be a legit late first or early second round pick (same place where Wagner will go).
Big Z gonna be snagging some minutes from the rotation for sure.
I had us favored by 13 and we won by 9, so we probably don’t move much.
That being said, I think everyone knows we were much better than that tonight.
He’s light years ahead of Bradshaw and Ugonna. There’s already chatter of him being the second best center in this weak draft. But he’ll probably never start for UK. Not complaining about that - but it will be a historic moment when three bench players on a given team are all lottery picks.
