The excitement for 2018-2019 season continues to grow. GBL_Bills and slufanskip like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prebilliken Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The questions surrounding this team were about Senior leadership, guard play, and shooting. Isabell answers two of the three of those questions firmly. For a young man, still only 22, to realize his past mistakes and reflect so openly on them is awesome. You can guarantee he is going to be well received in the locker room and that he is going to make an impact on his team. I thought I had reached max hype levels, I haven't, someone turn on some Pitbull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 -with the way the Cardinals are going, the market will probably need a jolt of positive sports and the Billikens are just the team to deliver -I like the process TI used to select where he will play, good to know we are not the only ones, along with Jon Rothstein, that believe we will be good this season -I too was captured by the Mashburn comparison for CAG, to be compared to a guy that became the 4th overall pick in the draft, high praise -the anticipation for this season just continues to build for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 With the Mashburn comparison for CAG, I wonder if we will see him out there at the 3 at all... even for short stretches. A five of JG, TI (or JB), CAG, HF, and LS would be the best rebounding five we've ever had on the court.

Pistol Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Excellent piece. I really appreciate when a dude owns his mistakes. He was candid with his perspective. I also LOVED him going through each of the returning players and explaining what he could do for each of them and why this roster is a good fit for him and vice versa. Most guys are more vague about their process of picking a school; he broke down his process exactly. He comes across as smart and hungry. So good.

Ford has referenced a couple times that Isabell could play in the NBA if he has a good season. Legit or... hype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got to love a player watching hours of game film to find the best fit. If he will put the time in on that, he will put the time into the other areas needed for him to succeed.

Legit or... hype? He seems small for the NBA. If he had a good year, i could see him being a two way contract kind of guy. He can probably latch on with the G League, work on his PG skills, maybe get a 10 day contract sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are viewing in Google Chrome, click on those 3 vertical dots at the top right of the screen and then click on "new incognito window". That should solve ALL of your problems. All of them.

Just sayin' the NBA doesn't waste draft choices on 24 year olds. They would let them try the Summer League first. Isabell will be 23 next week (and 24 before he would theoretically don an NBA jersey.) But wouldn't it be nice if Isabell has the same impact that Travis likely will have in his year at KY.
