If you’re a Michigan or Purdue fan frustrated watching Morez Johnson & Daniel Jacobsen get zero post entry passes the entire tournament. Just realize they probably are too 😂 These FIBA games are guard dominate more AAU style. Bigs are there to bring energy & protect paint 🤝

I think early on at FIBA u19, you kind of saw Tyran Stokes show his age. Timid, wanting to shoot, & not seeing the court. But I’ve been very impressed with his play the past 2-3 games with his ability to facilitate & initiate offense. He can be a gifted passer.

Jamie Shaw Can’t look at it that way. The first game against Australia he played good minutes then the only two games where Tommy shortened the rotations were against France & Canada. He played the 11th and 10th most minutes in those games. He’s only gotten minutes in mop up time.

If you’re watching these FIBA u19 games & you’re staring at stats from players in 40+ point blow outs. And make cases for players who got “minutes” or “scored the most” you probably didn’t watch the games 💀 The best players don’t play much in blow outs. EVERYONE knows this…

I am a BIG Darryn Peterson fan. But something we need to stop doing because it’s getting out of hand is saying. “Best prospect in a long time” because we say this basically EVERY SINGLE YEAR 🤦🏻‍♂️

We get so caught up in measurements & athleticism when it comes to the NBA. Yet. The best player in the world (Jokic) is slow & unathletic. One of the best guards (Doncic) is slow, unathletic, & over weight. One of the best guards (Brunson) is short & unathletic.

I see NBA Twitter has already declared Kasparas Jakucionis a bust. Another reason why I can’t stand the NBA. It’s one summer league game. He’ll be fine. Relax.

I think people are greatly underestimating how good UCLA forwards Tyler Bilodeau & Eric Dailey Jr are. Each transferred into UCLA playing for Mick Cronin last year for the first time. Under Mick, you play defense or you don't play. Both were highly efficient. Something BRUING!

The Big Ten has not won a National Championship in Men's College Basketball in 25 years. The last was Michigan State in 2000 in Indianapolis. The Final Four this year is in... Indianapolis. Is this finally the year the Big Ten gets it done?

Random thought. But a simple but VERY effective move for a guard is going full speed into a dribble or off a screen at the elbow/free throw line area & going straight into a pump fake. It almost always leads to an open shot more under control shot or open lane to pass 🤝

Nikolas Khamenia was never in the Team USA u19 FIBA rotation. Anyone that has watched the tournament knew this. 10 of the 12 players on the roster have played today. Nikolas Khamenia has not.

Watching Mikel Brown Jr vs Christian Anderson in an international tourney championship game in July is such a treat…. Will be 2 of the best guards in all of college basketball this season ⭐️

AJ Dybantsa had a very good FIBA u19. Him winning MVP over Mikel Brown is a literal joke. This is an example of giving a player an award based on reputation. Everyone knows Mikel Brown was the best player for Team USA.

BYU fans. Take a second. Understand that AJ Dybantsa is great and one of the 3 best players for Team USA. Now, remove fan bias. If you did so, you would clearly see that Mikel Brown was MVP of Team USA.

The amount of sports media that puts out content on games/players but don’t actually watch them is pretty concerning. These FIBA games really highlighted it for me. Saw tons of commentary from “trusted” accounts which easily gave it away that they simply looked at box scores.
