willie couldn't shoot, but he could handle a little, and was a decent passer. usually lost the ball when he tried to gather and score through contact--playing as a 4 on offense wasn't the worst thing for him. plus that team saw a lot of zone, and towns, obviously, has an extremely high skill level
Cameron Mills Says That Bam Is Coming Back
- Thread starter downthehatch
- Start date
The odd thing is that Willie can shoot face up jumpers really well but coaches won't push him to do that. His back to the basket game has a lot to be desired.
For all you knucklehead know it alls. IF Cal wants Bamba & Bam on the same team it will happen.
That's the problem with all these scouts. They tell these kids lies and then when they slip, the kids looks like he made a bad decision (mostly because he put his trust in scouts "information").
I read stories all the time about how kids were told this and that - then they get passed up on.
How could Cameron know what Bam's going to do when Bam doesn't even know what he's going to do? SMH.
Bamba isn't there yet and he is smart enough to know it. He starts out as a face up four he hurts his draft stock should be a very easy sell now Bamba can start out at the 5 move over to the 4 when Richards comes in both should see plenty of time at the 4. He wants to be the next AD well AD primarily played the 5 here
1. Get them both
2. Get Bamba if only one.
3. Do not allow Bamba to go to Duke.
People we are playing with fire dangling a top 3 draft pick, shot blocking 8 foot wingspan big, right in front of Dukes face to go play alongside another top 10 pick right beside him. Bam was good but he wasn't THAT good.
And for those that say "what's it matter?" All of this is relative. Would it not have mattered if Terrence Jones had stayed at Washington? How about AD just signing with Syracuse? No problem? Not our issue? That's just dumb.
Duke returns Jackson, Allen, And bring in Trent, probably Duvall, Carter, AND Bamba? No. And you're flat stupid (no offense) if that just sounds fine to you.

Hey _Rooster, another poster was talking about you above...name was kwildcats or something like that. I wouldn't stand for it.
Signs to big to post...(That's what I heard anyway...)
He could've made his decision already and only a handful of people know about it, and Mills got word. It happens all the time. I'm not saying that's definitely the case but we don't know if he's made his decision or not.

They have no idea because workouts haven't started yet. If Bam impresses more than anyone thinks then he is not coming back so Mills has no clue for sure. Just an opinion
Would be our biggest returnee since Terrence Jones.. would it not?
Bam and Bamba are 2 totally different players. They would compliment each other very well and give us a front court that nobody can deal with. Bamba would flourish with Bam beside him. And bam would flourish too.
That's OK
I undersand well
Uh, it's understand welley, or is it gooder...I always get those "too" confused....
I heard him talking about it on MJ's radio show a couple of weeks ago. It was nice hearing RB talk about it. Quality young man!
AK47,, Purple Afghan Kush and Trainwreck..Based on your avatar fuzz....what kind of "stuff" will you guys be growing?
You posted over on the main board that Frank Jackson was declaring for the NBA. Shortly after, he announced he's coming back to Duke. So we're supposed to take your word that Mills doesn't have a clue and you do?
Guys that are desperate to be around athletes are called jock sniffers. Hackarii is desperate to be around the guys desperate to be around athletes. Not sure we have a word or phrase for that. Jock sniffer sniffer?
As a single player, I would say WCS coming back in 2015 was bigger.
The combination of WCS, the twins, and Poythress all returning was epic.
I am not so sure Mills is connected enough to make a definitive statement on UK personnel. I would have confidence in any prediction he may have about UL because he is still tight with some of their staff
Now having said that I hope he is right because I would love to see Bam throw a few more down and hit some outside shots next year. He is one of my favorites.
