I was gonna say, I don't dislike Wilson as much as others but he definitely does not fall under "cool" category.

This feels like the 2016 argument of the word thug.

It was wrong too.

My dream scenario: two years college ball required, college athletes paid, D-league salary 100k.

Watching Wiggins and Embiid laughing and talking during a foul shot warmed my Jayheart.

Before that draft, a friend that went to Kansas told me Embiid is easily better than Wiggins. He also had a framed poster of Mario Chalmers making a big shot. I thought he was crazy, and decided maybe Embiid looked better because the college rules stink. Then Embiid turned into the coolest rookie this century.

Ahem. It's not "a big shot" it's "Mario's Miracle".

Chad Ford's mock is up and has Philly taking Fultz #1 and Monk #4 and holy poo poo I want to see that team with Embiid and Simmons.

If you aren't watching these guys in college they are playmaking machines with scoring galore.

Yeah that one play made me say "Trade Jah" and I'm not even kidding.

I wonder if any Kansas Jayhwak players went through the same thing in the 19XX's when they were coached for a year or two by James Naismith.

I don't know about this one but when Danny Manning became an assistant coach some players were surprised to find out he played a little ball. Yeah nearly 3000 points in college.

Also when Wilt came to retire his KU jersey when I was in college there were plenty of people who had no idea who he was.

For Wilt so loved Phog Allen he practiced for a year and didn't play as a freshmen in the cold racist plains of 1955 Kansas.
