3 5 stars - so sad

[Kinger]

Wow

 

[Hensman18]

Very, very overrated and frankly a pathetic team! They have played inconsistent all year and their just bad! F’ing BAD!!!!!!!

 

[EZE]

They might be classified as high school 5-stars, but they are all unlikely to have more than a cup of coffee in the NBA.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Wow

Could be Kentucky and Duke. They would have loved to trade spots with us with all the 4 and 5*’s they have!!! Guess Duke should fire Coach K for not making the tourney?

Johnson is projected as a top 10 pick and Springer is projected mid 1st round. I would say they an expensive cup of coffee!!!

 

[VolFreakJosh]

UK and Duke didn’t make the tournament with several 5* players.

I’m aware Cal & Coach K have won National Championships but let’s not act like we’re the only team that didn’t win with 5* players.

We’ll see how long they stick.

 

[Border Vol]

Yeah the results of this game are damned hard to swallow

 

[TJVol95]

Wow

Over starred

They all played like 0-1 star players in the big games

 

[hillsborovol]

Not many guards that can't shoot the three or have a good handle on the ball last very long in the NBA.

 

[1985Vols]

Arguably the most underachieving team in UT basketball history

Yet make more money in one year than most during an entire lifetime. I see your point though. Many lottery picks fail in the NBA.

This team ranks right up there with the 22-11 2000-2001 Tennessee men's basketball team.

Yes, and I’m not so sure that they are lottery picks. KJ lacks any semblance of and outside shot and JS isn’t that great from downtown. They have holes that they need to work on if they want to be NBA players for the long haul IMO.

They didn't have the upper classmen returning that we had either.

Somebody else should have represented the SEC.

Keon is projected to be a lottery pick, goong anywhere from #7 to #10. That could change but they will get paid if selected in round one.

Both need to improve their outside shooting.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It’s hard to stomach that we have two lottery picks on this team. No one on this roster played like a first round draft pick this season let alone a lottery pick. Crazy that we’re going to watch two Vols get picked on draft night who essentially did nothing most of the season. What a colossal failure this year has been.

If so our coach must suck

I really like him as a player, but KJ will be a bust if drafted pre-10.

JS likely starts in the G League. Ask Admiral and Bone how that works.

Suck so much that he has won 700+ games in a career and was coach of the year just couple years ago or so. Much rather have the coach from Duke and Kentucky, oh wait they didn’t even make the tourney.

 

[VolMarine1371]

Our coach can only do so much. He can teach them and coach them up all he wants, but when it’s game time the coach is stuck on the sidelines and it’s up to the players to play and use what they was shown during the year. Barnes doesn’t shoot, dribble, or play defense.

The product is the sum of the coaching, add it up.

Grant sure is making a pretty good living only playing about 12-15 minutes a game off the bench. Remember Lonzo ball that shoots 30% from free throw line but is making a pretty good living also. Being drafted in the first round and being average is worth a lot more than staying in college for an “education”.
