Good to be honest.

Tyrese Proctor is spending another year at Duke.

Not surprising, but unfortunate that he hasn’t came on as expected.

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Not surprising, but unfortunate that he hasn’t came on as expected.

If anyone checks his stats they show he is the most inconsistent young player Ive seen. Quite a few zero point games then a few games later he puts up solid numbers.

Yeah the article I read stated his offence stagnated this season and he now needs to improve his strength as well as scoring power.

Yeah, he’s still shown flashes for sure but there’s a lot of work that needs to be done.

I don’t really think he has a choice

I don’t really think he has a choice

At least he’ll get to play with Cooper Flagg who looks pretty damn good.

Does that limit his scoring opportunities and further hurt his stock ?

 

[JT_the_Man]

Furphy has declared for the draft.

Furphy has declared for the draft.

Good. He is climbing in the rankings and was around 25-28 in the most recent mocks. He could climb all the way into the first round by the time the draft comes if he keeps improving his output.

Does that limit his scoring opportunities and further hurt his stock ?

No probably the opposite. Cooper's a 6'9 athletic wing who can post up and shoot 3's. He'll draw a heap of defensive attention and probably increase Proctors assist numbers.

 

[Port85]

If Proctor can't look good next to Flag & Maluach (highly rated 7'2 Sudanese big) then it's on him.

Plenty of PnR, PnP opportunities which is a strength of Proctor.

25-28 is first round?

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

25-28 is first round?

No no. I was saying he was climbing late so if that continued he could end up late first round by the time the draft happened. Sorry. Probably should have worded my previous post better.

Do you mean late lottery?

Paris Olympics: Will Team USA Snub Lead Kyrie Irving to Australia

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving speaks out about Team USA Basketball’s roster decisions. Could the native Australian play for the Boomers?

lastwordonsports.com

Is this even a very slight possibility?

Apparently a player can switch countries if both countries agree to it?
There has been players that have played for the Boomers then switched to South Sudan.

Personally I don't think he will even seriously consider it this late in his career, but he has expressed interest in the past.

NBA superstar reveals he did NOT want to play for Team USA

Irving, who went onto win the 2016 NBA title and Olympic Gold that same year, was asked to represent Team USA as a prodigious 17-year-old, but wanted to represent the Boomers instead.

I'd surprised if Goorjian has the b**ls to even reach out to him and offer him a spot.
With such strong USA team, a player like Irving could be the difference to challenging them.

Kyrie is a ******* and Australia doesn't need poison like that pull on a Boomers jersey.

Besides, I doubt the USA would clear him to play for Australia.

If we can sliding doors it off to an alternate reality…I’d love to see Goorj and the gang handle Kyrie.

If Kyrie can be unhappy playing with LeBron or KD then he'll find a way to be toxic in the Boomers locker room. Hard pass.

 

[Royces Hart]

Would Kyrie fly from one end of the plain to the other, to play with the Boomers?

I'm well and truly in the this won't happen club but in the very unlikely event he does want to play for us then I think having two teammates from the Mavs (Obviously Green and Exum) would go a long towards helping him adjust to the Boomers environment.

I also think if he did end up playing (again highly unlikely) then we wouldn't be able to select Mattisse who's very popular with Bommers players and staff.
