DIVISIVE - I still think it’s ridiculous to factor in Primo at all. He doesn’t matter - just the tape and their interviews.

DIVISIVE - I still think it’s ridiculous to factor in Primo at all. He doesn’t matter - just the tape and their interviews.
There was no way in we'd get him and now even moreso after Ja Morant acting a fool.
I’m in the minority I know, but I think we should draft this guy over Scoot.
Unless there are some major red flags during his interviews, I'm taking him 3rd or 4th and willing to look past what has happened. Spurs need talent, shooting and malleable players and he fits with the modern NBA perfectly.
Same. First impulse was NO WAY SHOULD WE DRAFT THIS GUY, considering the Primo parallels. But the more I think about it, considering that, which franchise is gonna interview this guy harder than the Spurs? If the team drafts him, I'm gonna trust PATFO know what they're doing. His build and skill set is what's now required to win in today's NBA and for where the league is headed. And as I've said elsewhere, in a league where playmakers are becoming longer and taller, it makes no sense to build around a 6'2" point guard if the goal is winning championships. Might have been able to get away with that height in bygone eras, but not where the league is headed. Too much of a defensive liability if the goal is winning chips. Go with Miller over Scoot, pending Miller passing the interview tests.
He is going to be the biggest bust in the top ten.
He'd be my pick at 3 if I couldn't find a trade package I liked. That said, I feel pretty confident there'd be offers on the table to move back if we so chose..
Yeah, he definitely knows about shooting and he's so malleable that he kindly accepted to bring a gun that would be used to kill a young mother.
Spurs will stay away.
Just the tape, basketball highlights or crime scene?
He’s my pick after Wemby. The dude is exactly what we need. There will be another PG next draft that is better than Scoot. Draft Miller and we will still suck and get the 3 pick next year again and then draft our franchise PG.
I’m not saying his off court stuff does not matter. Of course it does. I’m saying tossing Primo PTSD in is what clouds things. They should pretend Primo doesn’t exist. Who cares if they both went to Bama? That’s just caring about ego and image and not something that smart teams do regarding talent/background.
.
This dude is a fool and is probably as dumb as Morant, which was confirmed by his pregame antics following the whole gun ordeal
This is one of those instances where I’d take a role player perceived ceiling prospect like Black and try to develop him into a star than draft this idiot.
Just trade back...
Disagree. What it says is that their program has no personal standards. They’re desperate to improve in a tough SEC, and don’t much care who you are.
Don’t forget, the kid who actually pulled the trigger and killed that girl was an Alabama basketball player, too.
Yeah. I’m probably as big a Black Stan as anyone here, and would never pick him at 2.
Agree with Lebowski. As for Primo at Bama, afaik, I don’t think he had any issues other than irrational confidence. He kept everything “under wrap”.
In a sense, PTSD very well may have been the issue. And if so, that would be two of our recent FRPs that didn’t pan out due to PTSD issues in my opinion.
That’s fine - but that is bias. Do your due diligence and don’t believe their coach, but not drafting someone because of Primo is dumb.
NCAA tourney.
13 - 61
7-33 treys.
Is this is legal woes or is he just too young?
Rather this kid make mistakes in college than in the pros. He’s exactly the kind of person that not only needs a change of scenery but needs a low key franchise that has a reputation for discipline and character.
Although it definitely showed a lack of maturity the gun situation is confusing to a lot of people. Had he been a white guy delivering a gun to a friend for self defense no one cares. None of the correspondence via text suggested he had any idea the gun was going to be used in a crime. Stupid, yes. Premeditated accomplice to murder, no.
The pregame show was tone deaf but he has been doing it all year. The school didn’t think to bring it up?
He needs a good program and organization that can help surround him by better people.
I think he has something. He’s not as flashy as Scoot but I’d take Miller at 2. There will be regrets taking this guy at 4.
Do Pops be tryna brings back dis gangsta?
How are you going to perform with the whole community against you while receiving death threats. That tourney was a no win situation for him.
I’m not holding it against him.
Some of you can’t perform in bed after a few drinks but expect this guy to have a stellar tourney while checking the rafters for maga snipers.
