cal was not smug. He is trying to build Tyler Ulis. If Ulis was 6 feet he would be a top two draft pick. Just like some were pissed that we even recruited Ulis after Mudiay. Saying he was too short. Four year player Now that he isn't people are mad. Cal is proving the haters wrong. Newman is enjoying that losing season too.
Thing is Ulis will work better in established team. I know the lottery makes waaay more money. But Ulis needs to go after the lottery to a good team. Could you imagine him with some of the premier front courts !
Fox & Monk are insane but I do agree with that. I strongly doubted Ulis would come back, even before what Cal said, but it ain't because he'd lose playing time. We'd be running 3 guards a lot next year again.
Sad thing is we wouldn't have had him at all. Briscoe would be our point this year
Could you imagine Ulis, Fox & Monk in the backcourt with Gabriel & Bam in front. Bringing Willis, SKJ, & possibly Briscoe off the bench?
So because you thought it means Ulis must conform to it? Shouldn't what really matters is what Ulis thinks? How do you know that Ulis doesn't feel that he is ready and thinks it's in his best interest to leave after this year?
Ulis is 5'8 in a good day. What he has done this year is nothing short of amazing. Yes most coaches would talk him into staying. But that's just selfish. Isiah Thomas left after two years. That was not the norm then.
Horrible take. We all don't want him to leave but it is what it is. Next year is loaded. He is the best pG in the draft. Sure he will fall because of his height but will go to a good team in need of his services. It's been almost a decade. The OAD is here to stay They will never go to two or more. Be happy we have witnessed the players we have. It will go back to the way it was before
We all would. And he probably would win a few. But as talented as he is he has limitations with his height. His skills and numbers are at an all time high. If your son was in smame situation what would You do Not saying he was at uk for selfish reasons
If he isn't this year...how? Stronger draft, better team where he won't have the same opportunity to put up big numbers consistently, and the things that are keeping him from being a sure thing in the first round aren't changing. He'll continue to get better, but you already know what he's going to be in the league. Why would you spend a more valuable first round pick on him next year when you weren't willing to this year?
Maybe smug is the wrong word. Maybe he's just tired of listening to people like you that berate him about it each and every time he has to deal with people like you. His attitude is designed to shut you up, he just lacks the power. A man's got to know his limitations.
It's not about fast money. It's about preservation of the game. The NBA and college basketball are watered down. The NBDL is going to become a threat to college basketball. Who the hell is watching out for these unintended consequences? A team in the NBA is dominating that is average on the scale of NBA champs. Idk it seems time to change the rules. Keep the kids who want to be there from day 1 in there and send rest to NBA Europe etc
Yeah, but some do act like Cal forces them to leave, and that he gives the player zero choice in the matter. I don't think that's the case. Regardless of Cal's opinion, the decision is ultimately left up to the young man and his family.
