    If Thiam is drafted, all NBA indicators point in that direction, he will be drafted as a center. Part of his responsibilities will be to rebound. Thiam will have to gain some weight and some toughness to play on the inside if he is going to survive in the NBA. I am sure the big-time money will encourage him to toughen up.
    remember when Huggs had FB players with pads pound the bigs. You won't se that in today's game. It is interesting that Chuck Machock used them too. The Cats had some tough teams . People didn't want to come to Clifton and play.

      Is Jalen Haynes still getting his NIL money? If so could the coach insist that he play if able?

        law site and it looks bad for recruiting. UC has accused of playing an injured Hickman. Don't need more accusations.

          I saw Steven Adams had a 22% OReb rate this year, on pace to set a record. That's insane. There are some college TEAMS that don't rebound 22% of their misses.

            Rebounding is mixing heart with real BB IQ.It is for the thinking player and not the thug as many suppose. The Rhoades scholar and former NJ senator averaged 12 a game for Princeton while just 6 ft 5. BTW He averaged 30 points a game.

              Steven Adams. This guy is a first-class tough guy. Even when he was at Pitt, he did not score many points, but he would touch a player up (in the words of Shaq O'Neal) who came into the paint. Remember, Steven Adams played in the old Big East. He was drafted after only one season in college. Steven Adams understands his role on the court. He rebounds and protects the paint. He is big enough and strong enough to do his job. I have always liked Steven Adams for how he plays basketball.

              Every team that Adams has played on (while in the U.S.) has had a winning record. I like to think that he had a lot to do with those winning records.
