A Dozen NBA Scouts in Attendance Last Night. Same Number for Home Game vs Illinois

Enjoy Keegan while we have him, folks!

So do we want Keegan to have one of his exceptional games or do we want him to have a miserable game. Win or lose, I kind've want him to stay at Iowa and play with his brother for 1 more year.
We were so spoiled with Luka....

I would draft Kris in late 2nd round. Just matter of time/opportunity for him to shine.

Detroit should consider drafting CMAC to be a post feeder to Garza.

I want him good when the rest of the team is playing well and great when we really need him

But not toooo great 😃

Joe T is going to get some pub too if he continues to play like he did last nite. He may be the 2nd most important player we have

 

[SSG T]

People leaving early to get drafted is, long term, a really good thing for both parties.

He's not staying. Might as well give up hope and enjoy him while he can.

In watching Keegan last night, the player comparison I thought of was Grant Hill.

I think that I want him to be great, like Danny and the Miracles great.

Is that too much to ask? 😁

What were you, er, I mean Fran referring to @Franisdaman in last night's postgame presser?

Yes, 1 good or poor game in a season won't move the needle. The reason they like Murray is he's 6-8/6-9, is a tremendous athlete, can dribble/pass, knows how to play, competes hard. The icing on the top and what determines if he's a potential lottery pick vs later first-round pick is his outside shooting. He's 10-29 so far (34%). If that edges closer to 40%, look out.

But the rest of his game translates very well to the NBA. Can guard multiple positions, is a great athlete. And in some ways, would be even better on a NBA team as he would not be the first scoring option as he is for Iowa. His efficiency will suffer a bit for Iowa this year as there will be times he's thrown the ball and has to go create something.
