Are those my only two choices?

Wiggins and Embiid are old news :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@approxinfinity Can we still talk about Wilt?

Jan 02, 2020 05:01 PM #5

Gotta go w/oubre 🤭🥰

A shame we never got to see him be awesome at KU. Even year two would have been filthy imo.

Well it’s definitely not Josh Jackson...nice write up about his current G league experience. https://theundefeated.com/features/josh-jackson-journey-from-the-nba-to-the-g-league-dont-feel-bad-for-me/ ↗

What's become of Ben McLemore? I don't follow pro ball at all, but I never hear him mentioned.

Still in the NBA and having one of his better years as a roleplayer with the Houston Rockets.

@dylans good find! I hope he has it together, don’t think he’ll get any more chances. Doesn’t mention any help w/anger issues.

@Crimsonorblue22 Still only 22. Wow

@tundrahok I love him!

Jan 02, 2020 09:44 PM #14

@tundrahok Nice article - thank you.

I still can't help but think (like all the others) what would his NBA career be like with 4 years of KU training?

Water under the bridge.

@nuleafjhawk he truly had a horrible life, he didn't want to go. Remember how happy he was to go to school? Have a bed, heat, food? He gives back too. I'm always rooting for him!

Ben and Joel are the only two OADs I fully enjoyed.

Jan 02, 2020 11:05 PM #20

@dylans I loved wiggs! Was rather bummed the way Embiid was handled.

Jan 02, 2020 11:07 PM #21

Wished for diallo’s sake he would’ve stayed. I really like him. Oubre could’ve put out more🤣

Jan 03, 2020 04:14 AM #22

@Crimsonorblue22 The expectations around Wiggins were too high. No way he could match them, but he was great. If he just had Josh Jackson’s motor he’d be the unstoppable juggernaut we all wanted to see!
