Kalkbrenner announced he’s coming back.  That sucks

 

I would say it's national championship or bust for them this year.

Eh, if Alexander doesn't come back, I wouldn't agree with that. If he does, yeah, you're probably right.

With Higgins no longer officiating, I'm sure Kentucky fans have already claimed the next national championship.

He's projected as a late first round pick by NBADraft dot net. Others have him early 2nd. I would think modern day players take the cash and dash.

You get to ring the bell if you hit 20+ out of 25 3s.

I think he made like 20/25 his day of arrival at NU as well.  So Pacers.. you don’t want him this year.  You want him NEXT year.

As a pacers fan this is very bitter sweet.

It’s just a workout.  Nothing to worry about.

Keisei made 20 straight when he arrived at Nebraska, right off the plane. He still had his bag on him. He's a legend.

Yeah I would imagine he got this workout with the Pacers at least in part as a favor to (former Pacer) Fred.  Not too worried, but if Keisei could manage to parlay it into a legit shot at earning a NBA roster spot man I'm all for it.  The more dudes we get into the league the better for the program for sure.

[hskr4life]

Im happy for KT.  This is his dream and many… even on here said it was a pipe dream at best.  Sure, it’s not clear cut 100% but the dude is earning pre-draft workouts with NBA teams and capitalizing on those workouts.

 

Will he make it to the NBA?  Time will tell, but the law of averages says probably not.  Has he already made it further than 95% of young aspiring basketball players?  Yes.

[49r]

Yeah, if we don't have guys that are pursuing their NBA dreams to the absolute limit, then really, do we want them in the first place?  This is the Big Ten...we need everyone to have aspirations of going pro otherwise what are we doing?

I dunno…I think you need some guys who have those hopes.  And more so that ability/talent. You also need team guys who are happy being role players.  There’s only one ball.  
 

You still want your role players to be dogs who are absolute competitors, though.

There are role players in the NBA too

Like @cornfed24-7 says, I think you can have players who are both.  I mean Keisei is a pretty decent example.  He's simultaneously a guy with unabashed NBA aspirations, but he's also a big time culture guy/team player.

[cipsucks]

So, does Keisei make an announcement tonight, or does he remain quiet?  Bet he doesn't say a thing.
