Easy tiger. I keep reading on here that the twins have this amazing support system that will prevent them from making a bad decision. Where in the world does that come from? My guess? Young black athletes that have a two parent home must be more stable than the rest. Go check Twitter for Aaron Harrison Sr from the night of the title game, and get back to me...

 

I don't need to go check twitter or any other social media / liar site....my statement was my opinion, nothing more - nothing less. There is certainly no shortage of "behind the keyboard" experts. I don't look things up, not trying to sound like the world's authority on sports and / or everything to do with them. That btw, is something that No One on here is, only a couple that think they are.

I merely thought that both Harrison's know that they cannot play in the NBA right now and are smart enough to admit it. They may very well go, I don't know.

I am done........

:lol2:

 

This "behind the keyboard" expert has spent more than half his life in the sports journalism field. That's thousands upon thousands of hours getting to know the who, what, when, where, why and how the stories you follow "behind your keyboard" play out.

 

You keep spouting things like "both Harrison's know that they cannot play in the NBA right now and are smart enough to admit it." I'll keep calling silly narratives lazy. Good day...

Matt Jones has a post on KSR about where he sees the UK guys right now. He doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know IMO, but here's the rundown:

 

* Randle & Young are most certainly gone.

* WCS had not been considering staying, but is seriously considering it now. Still thinks he goes, but it's not the foregone conclusion it once was.

* Dakari had not been considering leaving, but is seriously considering it now. Still thinks he stays, but it's not the foregone conclusion it once was.

* Poythress is the most likely to return, in large part because he can graduate after next year.

* Harrisons are 50/50. "These guys tell no one anything," is what a source told Jones. If he had to guess, he slightly leans toward the twins returning.

Crazy thing is the one guy that would benefit the most from staying is Young. He could be the alpha dog next year that scores a clean 20 a game and earns 1st Team AA awards across the board. That just isn't in his future plans.

 

If Dakari stays, WCS needs to go. He is going to see minutes squeezed with Towns and Lyles coming in and will be in a tough spot in a four man rotation that is probably five with Poythress eating minutes at the four. If Dakari goes, that does make it a little more interesting.

 

I think the twins are gone even with the gamble of a late 1st, early 2nd grade. They have always been vastly confident in their abilities and that goes directly to Aaron Sr pumping them up since middle school. Staying is probably the best choice, but any issues that pop up as sophomores will be tough to overcome after what they were exposed to through most of this season. The most interesting part in all of this is if they realize they likely only have one more chance to play together before embarking on seprate pro careers. If they do come back, that is the driving factor...

Is Lyles a 4?

 

I've felt like Dakari stands to benefit the most by returning, but I have never considered Young simply because there's no way he comes back. I wonder how high he could go if he did return.

 

I also see the Harrisons leaving. Dakari and Poythress return IMO.

Welcome to BGP, BSD!!

 

thank you!!!!

Lyles is a 4 as long as he can defend a 4. That part will be a work in progress...

While Dakari improved leaps and bounds toward the end of the season, I still think he doesn't have any business leaving this year. Still feels too raw for me at this point to go but then again the NBA does draft based on potential so there is always that.

Would love to see them all come back, but realistically that is not is what is best for each player. Cal is already stated that he has been talking to the pros this week and meeting with players. My gut feeing is that Julius, the twins and Young will go. WCS will consider that with his injury, and not able to work out in the combine could hurt his NBA stock. Dakari....???

One thing I'm wondering about the twins is if any NBA teams are selling them on taking one in the first and the other one in the second. The way the draft structure is set up it would be tough for the same team to draft at the end of the first and top of the second. BUT, considering there is usually a lot of movement in the second round I could see a team perhaps trading for Aaron in the second round to pair him with his brother. I could see a team that values Andrew as a prospect late in the first trying to coax them to come out by trying to make an assurance they will do everything they can to get Aaron as well. If both were first rounders this would be a far more difficult situation, but considering most teams lack of value for the second round picks I'm sure something could be done relatively cheap. I mean most teams send their second rounders out anyway to save cap and roster space, couldn't imagine one making it a priority to hang on to Aaron.

What are your thoughts on Dakari if he stays? I could see him becoming an AA with a good offseason. Somewhere in the 15-17 & 8-10 range.

Possible but probably on the high side just because I don't think he's going to get 30 plus minutes every night. More doable if WCS leaves obviously, but Towns is going to get at least 15 a game I'd think if it was just he and Dakari...

If them and their dad are that dumb to buy that then may God bless them on their journey.

 

Later on they can play with one another like the Lopez brothers.

Lyles is a 4 as long as he can defend a 4. That part will be a work in progress...

 

I saw the measurements on Lyles and Townes for the hoops summit and they are to extremly large people. I knew Townes was really big but Lyles measured 6'10" 250. I had no idea he was that big from a weight standpoint.

What are your thoughts on Dakari if he stays? I could see him becoming an AA with a good offseason. Somewhere in the 15-17 & 8-10 range.

 

I'll probably hit myself after you tell me, but what is AA? I can't figure it out this morning.
