Anyone else watching? Obviously Zion is the main attraction. But I'm all in on Coby White for us if we can get in that zone.

Also go Gophers on the big win. Sorry for posting this here if there is no interest.

I'll be watching. I've seen a litte bit of UNC this year and White seemed small and light. May be that's just because everyone else is so big these days.

Will RJ Barrett drop? Kinda like that guy. Reddish looks like a bust and Zion Williamson makes the NCAA and NBA look silly for their dumb age rule. He could have been a paid professional player starting at least two years ago.

Can we sign Cam Johnson to a deal too? And while we're at it, can we sign Cam-den as well?

Ok, so may be White isn't that small in reality. It's just his hair makes his body look small.

Yeah he's listed at 6'4" but his wingspan is 6'4". He's light but reminds me a bit of D'Aaron Fox. I like that he's fast, has a nice handle, and can shoot. All things our wings seem to lack.

Does he push the ball? I want a guard that pushes the ball up the floor. He doesn't have to be Fox level of that but I think that type of thing would be big both for pace and even 3 point shooting.

Yes, that whole team pushes the ball, as NC is known for their running game.

Not sure why everyone wants us to push the ball. With Towns, it makes sense to slow things down and develop a more grind it out type of game. We don't have the wings for the faster pace game.

Not entertaining. Watching Memphis is painful.

I always find it amusing that style/aesthetics mean more to some fans than winning basketball games.
