Just a 2nd rounder is what I saw.

Pretty comparable. Vic is a career 35% 3-point guy and Levert is 34%. Pacers have plenty of shooters.

And didn’t have a serious injury like Vic IIRC.

No doubt. I think he can thrive in Indy. Once we get healthy, our depth will be insane. Brogdon/Levert/Warren/Sabonis/Turner then we have Lamb coming back alongside both Holidays, and Doug McD. Love it.

Yep

Vic likely wasn’t going to re-sign with the Pacers anyway after the year so at least we got a really good piece for him.

I honestly really like the move. I really liked Oladipo but Levert is younger and is under control until 2023. I think he’s going to be really good.

It’s been awhile since they’ve been so weak up front. Seems like they always have a Tillman/Payne/Davis but they’re lacking big-time. Losing Winston hurts a lot too.

Didn’t help that Brogdon missed like 8 layups.

Mikal Bridges isn’t this good holy crap. Best game of his life.

Here’s a legit question: how bad does Crean have to be to get fired at Georgia?

No doubt. Ours just happened to be at the beginning of the schedule.

Williams was dominant. Big reason why we had a chance.

Ugly win but definitely a big one especially for confidence for some of the younger guys. Never easy to win in EL.

Our schedule gets easier for sure but it’s been brutal so far. With not playing Nebraska this week at home, our last five games went at Iowa, MD at home, at Rutgers, at Illinois, at MSU, and then we play in Bloomington next week. That’s a brutal stretch.

He’s still getting used to big-time basketball and he’s had foul issues too. 14 minutes for a freshman big isn’t awful IMO.

Def bummed we didn’t land him as he’s a stud. Edey turned out to be a diamond in the rough though. He’ll be really good for us.

Never even played a game for them.

Nope he didn’t which is unfortunate. He wasn’t a grad transfer like Haarms.

For those who wanted a few laughs:

Not going to win many games when Hunter puts up a goose egg sadly.

Fair points.

About what I expected tbh.

Like I said in the earlier post, I do think overall we got a favorable whistle. Just thought that was a big moment to miss what seemed to be an obvious over and back.

Going into the season, only playing NW once was probably viewed as a negative. Things obviously have changed since then. We have Iowa, Illinois, and Rutgers on the road though and don’t get a chance for redemption at home.
