One of the top euro prospects for 24/25 is named Ruben Prey, who sounds like he could be facing sly stallone in the jungles of se asia.
Another good name tool euro guy for 25ish is named Roman Domon, 6'8 sf from france.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I have watched a grand total of two college games this year (recorded a bunch but haven't watched any of them yet) but I guess I can fill the void of NBA games after 8:00 PM Arizona time no longer being a thing most nights by starting this.

My strategy so far has been to get player cut ups so I can only watch their possessions. Then my plan is if they're really good or confusing i'll watch the full games

I will probably have to do that I never have any time anymore. I find some benefit to watching games although I can't even put my finger on why that is. I watch on 2x speed and skip free throws and when no one draftable is on the floor.

There's definitely important stuff found in the context, but since nobody's ever going to employ me as a pro scout I dont care anymore

He was a pretty good PF in the body of a SG. He had some moments where he looked like he might be able to do something but ultimately he just didn't have the right mix of skills and body for the NBA.

My biggest current draft take is that after watching 10 minutes of Overtime Elite highlights I cannot comprehend taking a Thompson Twin top 5. The competition is just awful.

great pod about wemby by windy and givony.

Apparently Vic doesn't look at a phone, reads books, does drawings, had this new team structured all around him, world class trainer, holger geschwinder as well, plus france's most renowned coach. Last year, at Lyon, they apparently barely did preventative stuff with him, which was part of him getting injured several times.

His mother Elodie apparently has never let him eat non organic food and claims to have never fed him the same meal twice

The real prospect each with Wemby is how French he is. If he man is like Boris Diaw we need to adjust our expectations because he's transcended our traditiona Americanl competitive spirit in favor of doing huge leaps in loafers and having an espresso instead of Gatorade.

I'll be watching for him to become an elite abstract artist who's work focuses on the next stages of human evolution, in that case. #gallerywatch

According to him he said in another life he would have liked to attend college in the United States so I don’t think he’s like a pure Frenchman archetype. also he’s a pretty good English speaker already

Man you are gonna be rich it's time to pause on keeping it real for at least a little while. James Harden needs to give a youth lecture on how to be a criminal mastermind and frighten hall of famer's children while being an NBA player without getting caught.

Moses Malone's son alleged that Harden is secretly a crime-lord a few years ago and apparently I'm the only person who remembers it.
