    Posted this morning ... NBADraft.net 2027 mock draft Matas 29th in first round David Punch 36th in second round https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/?year-mock=2027 Those two guys will appear on a number of mock's for 2027

    Not necessarily Texas is going to have to make a decision on that vs versatile combo forward Not unlimited NIL
  3. Gerry Hamilton
    Absolutely Texas would start five likely future NBA draft picks

    I would say this again … probably need to start leaving the big name guys left in the portal alone. All the names still being thrown around would be a talent collection without the minutes to go round and a 20+ mill team (certainly not happening at Texas) Texas has four starters plus three guys that will factor in different roles already. It’s all fits for rounding out team now … May only be 2-3 guys left now (depending on what Swain ends up doing). those are… 1. guard that is a shot maker/perimeter threat with enough size Likely - big combo forward that can shoot it well enough, and provide some versatility from a lineup perspective probably - backup center That will get Texas to 10. Then you see what happens with Swain first before any other moves

    Shot maker/perimeter threat with enough size combo forward that can shoot it well enough probably one more role player guard Now it’s about finding fits to build the best team … not collect talent
  10. Gerry Hamilton
    That g-league guy isn't one factoring in for real - at this point. See if it changes

    I would say ... I bet he improves shooting it from 3 next season in year three. They need him to be at 32-33% ... but Punch will absolutely help Matas maximize because he's a very good passer as a face up 4, and can put the ball on the deck vs. 4's to create rotation. Texas will add another perimeter threat at guard. And Bo Ogden will absolutely provide perimeter threat in his double digit minute role year one.

    I'll say this ... Texas really likes where John Clark is headed. 6-9 and strong. Can defend and rebound at the Texas level. Can play some backup 5 at times, but is more of a 4. Has to keep developing offensive game facing basket. Lewis O. is a high-level shot blocker. So Texas thinks he can help in spurts after a summer of development. Legit 7-0.5
  13. Gerry Hamilton
    Not likely. Not unlimited $$$ Texas still has a plan if Swain ended up coming back. And one without him ... so it might play out into late May
  14. Gerry Hamilton
    yes

    Texas will be a top 10 ranked team preseason ... mark this one. They are far from done

    That's me

    Texas really like McGee
  21. Gerry Hamilton
    Too early for me on that one

    My use of "on command" is the pure definition ... "On command" means acting immediately in response to an order, signal, or request. It signifies doing something instantly when instructed or desired, often implying obedience or the capability to produce an action at will. That's where I'm coming from. If the game is going to be decided by 75+, better be able to get there on command. If the game is going over 80, better be able to get there on command. The losers in the NCAA Tournament, the majority of the time, can't get to 75+ or 80+ when it's required.
  23. Gerry Hamilton
    Have to have the ability to go score 80+ on command when the game calls for a team to. Nothing has changed. Deep run teams historically have had multiple games in the tournament where they had to get 80 to survive and advance. All one has to do is the research. Colleges coaches literally have on boards… have to be able to score 75+ in the NCAA Tournament, and go get 80+ when pushed to the limit. If you are playing against a high level teams, they are going to score on good defense. So you have to as well. There is reason guys like Kelvin Sampson and Rick Barnes (terrific coaches) struggle in the higher scoring games
  24. Gerry Hamilton
    I said you have to have the ability to. And you damn sure do. Teams had to be able to score 90 to beat Michigan in the NcAA tournament… until the title game
