Where we goin'
I believed Mizzou basketball was on the road to recovery, the basis for my past tense check the roster. Only a "Kentucky" could infuse six (6) new prospects into a program at one time and expect positive results. I acknowledged the number of Haith and a few Kim Anderson prospects who left the program. Don't want to appear to be a negative hopefully brighter days are ahead.
I'm on his case
Stephen A. Smith has been highly critical of Phil Jackson and the Knicks however portions of his remarks remain suspect to me. Smith is not pleased with the prospect of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah uniting with Anthony and Porzingis. We know there are health considerations for the two but consider this fact. This is the same Stephen A. who was quite critical of the Knicks for drafting Porzingis last season. The same Stephen A. who was later forced to admit he was wrong about the pick. In 2016-2017 two things will occur the Knicks will be improved or they will be worst they will not tread water. As for Mr. Smith any assessment provided by him regarding the Knicks should be taken with a degree of speculation.
Moaning
Remember me crying about Roy Hibbert's play at center? I was pleased the Lakers drafted a center but likely believed at age 19 he required seasoning. The solution a veteran center was needed and the first day of free agency they signed Timofey Mosgov to a 4-year contract. Wasn't he the Cavs center who bearly got off the bench during their playoff run? Isn't he the same guy the Nuggets gave up figuring he couldn't play? The jury is still out regarding Mosgov, I will reserve judgment until the season starts. I make that statement because I was the guy excited to see Roy Hibbert arrive last summer. In addition the Lakers signed small forward Luol Deng to a 4-year contract. This move pleases me, the veteran Deng should add stability to a young Laker squad. At this point it appears this might not be the last move by the Lakers.
Headed for foreign shores
Remember the saga of Terrance Ferguson? First he was headed for Alabama and changed his mind. Then it became Arizona and that changed too, it's not that the 6-6 forward wasn't talented. After he changed his mind on Arizona it appeared he might be headed for foreign shores. I cited the story of Brandon Jennings and Emmanuel Mudiay both play overseas before returning in time for the NBA draft. That is the case for Ferguson too, he announced he is headed to Australia to begin a pro career. Expect to see this youngsters name to appear on a number of 2017 NBA mock draft sites.
Boo Cavs
Thanks Cavs you've done my Royals a disservice, all we heard was Cleveland had won nothing in 54 years. After the Cavs won the NBA championship the baseball Indians went on a winning streak which reached 14 games in a row. Plenty of baseball remains however 7.5 games behind the Cavs ain't good for my Royals.
