Want Bam Bam bad bad....

[skaggs34]

This guy dunks EVERYTHING! Would be a Monster here. Any updates on him? Have googled and cant really find much. We still aren't even listed in his crystal ball, which NC State leads. I know Cal has been on him alot lately though.

I guess one could dream.....

Fox
Monk
Gabriel
Adebayo
Killeya-Jones

What a class!

 

[caneintally]

not going to waste my time thinking about getting Bam or Giles but I love that Cal isn't throwing in the towel .

 

[bucsrule8872]

Love to have Bam as well, but it probably won't happen.

We need Fox and Monk worse in my opinion.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

Bam in Kentucky blue next season would be absolutely incredible.

I think it could certainly happen, but who knows.

 

[gracetoyou]

I'm with you OP....hopeful

 

[JonathanUSAF]

Better chance of landing Allen in my opinion.

 

[stuway]

Yep....sounds like Fox, Monk and now Allen will round out another #1 class!! Good to be a Cats fan!!

Yep Bolden or Allen IMO will be the other big .

 

[Primedfor9]

Why does he have to go to nc state? I don't think it's a sure thing he starts there next year as they'll have a few upperclassmen at the four and five.

Definitely spoiled if not excited about a 5 star big man, but it is hard to get excited for Allen compared to Giles or Bam. Allen looks to be more of just a solid big guy without the flashy athleticism.

True, but we might get to keep Allen a couple of years. I'd love to get either of them.

Even with Humphries we still need another big. Allen or Bolden will do just fine.

We definitely could use another big, but I think we would be fine without another big.

We will have four guys at 6'10 or over to play the 4 and 5 spots (Humphries, Wynyard, Killeya-Jones, and Gabriel).

We also have a 6'9 Senior (Willis), though I doubt he plays much.

Plus, we could potentially have Lee back for his Senior year. If Lee comes back, then we really don't need another big.

Another big would be very nice, especially with Gabriel wanting to play the 3, but we could make due with what we have.

Now our backcourt is another matter as I think Murray, Ulis, and Briscoe all three bolt after this season.

 

[Primedfor9]

I think it depends on Wynyard and whether he's a legit prospect or not. I've seen him ranked 43, one recruiting guy said he compares to Kanter and other people say he'll never play meaningful minutes. If Cal thinks he can play and contribute next year, anyone else would be icing on the cake, especially if Lee stays.

Bam is a bad dude!!
Dwight howard 2
Love that cal is all over the dudes who can flat out hoop

 

[bucsrule8872]

I love what I have seen from Bam, but I admit, I haven't seen enough to know the answer to this question: could Bam pull a KAT and jump all the way up to the number one pick with the right coach (namely Cal)? Not sure where Bam is rated in mock drafts, but I would guess it would be a bigger jump than KAT.

Insights?

 

[WildMoon]

Give me BAM. Him and Humphries will be nice players with change of pace.

At the 4 give me Giles and SKJ
At the 3 give me Gabriel, Mathews, and Willis
At the 2 give me Monk and Mulder
At the 1 give me Fox and Hawkins

Platoon Round 2? :-D

You don't ever want to say "never" to something like that, but he's not that kind of prospect. He's more JJ Hickson than Dwight Howard. He's a stellar athlete, but he's about 6'9 and lacks the kind of perimeter or even post skills it takes to be a number one draft pick. Lottery pick, sure, but in that 9-14 range, not at the top.

The thread title is so awful.. That is all.
