The point I was making is that the media is salivating over Garland, calling him a top 3-4 pick -- NOT based on his high school play, but based on his first and only 5 games in college. To add to your point, he played against the mighty lineup of Winthrop, USC, Alcorn St., Liberty, and Kent State. He went down 2mins into the Kent State game, so really it is only 4 games. Against Alcorn St (25% of his GP), he posted an unimpressive line. That tells me that they have to be taking into account his HS play, team workouts, and/or he is just benefiting from teams needs PGs in a weak draft. I've said it before I'd take White over him all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I fully expect Darius Garland to be a 5 time all-star.............in some obscure Euro League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Listened to ESPN radio on the way home for work today. Rick Bozich was on and he said the number one thing he has been told that was holding Romeo back was the appearance that he lacked passion when on the floor.

Passion was mentioned in that aspect too. I know IU and pacer homers do t want to hear this but Romeo coming to Indy may backfire poorly. Hearing some things through New Albany, I'm hoping for his sake he gets real far away to create himself and be his own man. I'll just say it. "I don't want your life."

Steubenhoosier Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I could care less about the NBA. Having said that, Romeo is slated to make about $2.4 million based on the pay scale. Last year’s 14th pick was Michael Porter. Hope Romeo fares better than Porter. Hope the contract is worth it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
