Box and Won Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It was hilarious today hearing a coworker read the headline (which didn't have the player's name) and make the cranky old guy (well, crankiest oldest guy) guess who it was. He named literally every black player first, then O'Mara and "walk-ons?" before finally: "JP?! No way! He's such a clean-cut, good kid! This is way outta character for him, for sure." This is too damn funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 JP Macura was Brad Redford Adjace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 This is too damn funny. Surprised he didn't guess Mo Ali-Cox, even with him playing on a different team in a different league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 This is too damn funny. I'm remembering the best I can but it was along the lines of: "Had to be Reynolds, he's such a bozo...Blueitt is full of himself, thinks he's already good enough for the NBA...Well, then I bet it was that Austin kid...Or Sumner, he's a cocky freshman...Abell and Farr are seniors, they've gotta be wiser than that by now...I don't know much about London or Gates, but you never know with these freshmen...Davis might do something like that, bad as he played lately...the walk-ons? They wouldn't make news, though, right?...can't be O'Mara, he's a good kid...." The other guy's just going "No...nope...no, guess again...nope...no..." It was hysterical. JP probably reminds him of his grandsons, so it's just unimaginable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlebill Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Pat McCaw of UNLV just declared for the draft and won't return to school. Considered UNLV's best player this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 No word about an agent or anything, but his Tweet makes things at UNLV sound pretty much wrapped up: https://twitter.com/22gang_/status/717035552709607425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure part of it is the typical bad advice but I also think many of them look at the NBDL or paying for play in Europe as "good enough" options that are better than playing for free in the U.S. Continues the watering down of college basketball.

I also think the rise of online mock drafts and the ease with which players can read about themselves hurts too. Guys see themselves on one mock draft and immediately assume they're for sure NBA players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a way to get a transfer out of UNLV, too, given the coaching change. But with the rule change this year, he can at least see if he gets invited to the pre-draft camp, get a workout, and then go back to school - UNLV or elsewhere - as long as he doesn't hire an agent. I also think the rise of online mock drafts and the ease with which players can read about themselves hurts too. Guys see themselves on one mock draft and immediately assume they're for sure NBA players. That's true, for sure, but the weird thing is that McCaw's name isn't really showing up on any of them. Zimmerman from UNLV should be a first rounder and Derrick Jones has a chance to be a second rounder. McCaw is reaching, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 From what I saw of McCaw in person this year (granted it was in November) he didn't appear NBA ready. He had good scoring numbers early in the season, but not someone I would have expected to leave after this season. Even Zimmerman is a reach. He could benefit tremendously from another year.

cheeseman Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Congrats to Grandy - http://www.wallaceallamerica.com/ Amazing that Crews even screwed this up - he could not get anything close to this from GG when he was here. I know the WAC is not the A10 but he did not come close to his potential here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 i love Grandy Glaze and congrats on his award. But the WAC ended up 26th out of 32 conferences. Had he transferred into the A10, any A10 school, we wouldn't be talking about him winning the award. He doesn't get those stats against Ali-Cox, McElvaene, Wright, Thompson, Rhoomes, Larsen, etc. He picked the right school in the right conference. Good decision to move down to low major.

FromDaEastSide Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Grandy also had a bad shoulder the last 2+ years - he finally got surgery late 2014 and had a full year to recover. I'm glad that he had a great final season at GCU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 It will be intresting to see where McCaw ends up going. Frank brought him up on his show today. It does appear that some are starting to move him up to the bottom third of the first round. Sounds like his stock has really shot up in the predraft workouts.

SLU_Nick Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I need to go watch his highlight reel I think. He was about the least ready NBA player on that 2013 roster. I am genuinely shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
