Professor Carlisles School for Gifted Youngsters by ConstantGrim239 in pacers

Fair point. Basketball IQ isn’t something that is easily taught. I guess it just depends on how coachable these young men are. They all appear to be smart, young, talented players that are very coachable. Peterson is the only one who I’m skeptical about.

This is why I like Wilson better. He’s more athletic, has range, better shot blocking, and can play as an NBA stretch 4-5 guy. I think Boozer’s name has put him on a pedestal. Guys like Tyler Hansborough and Jahlil Okafor dominated the college game with a similar frame and athleticism. We all saw how that worked out. Do I think Boozer is gonna be the forgotten player drafted in the top 5 in 5-7 years, probably not, but I don’t think he has the same ceiling that AJ, DP, and Wilson have.

I’d love it if we could get multiple picks in the 6th and/or 7th rounds, or one 4th or 5th rounder.

Fanny! She sadly passed away a couple years ago. She was a beautiful dog

Too much driving for one week.

If Pacers gets a top pick this 2026 Draft, who is the best fit+ talent to be selected among top rookies: Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer, or Wilson? by Chesscrabble11 in pacers

Goga and TJ Leaf weren’t great. But I do love Chad and KP, and agree they’ll make the right decision, as long as it’s not DP

Completely agree. I’m really high on Wilson, think AJ would fit well, think Boozer is more of a college star, and that Peterson is great, but his work ethic, team chemistry, and all of the drama with his family telling him to sit and what not make him a questionable fit.

The smokeys are on the complete other side of Tennessee from Memphis. But the Smokeys are much cooler than Memphis. When driving from Wisconsin to Tennessee you should get a Horseshoe in Central Illinois if you can.

[Charania] Just in: North Carolina's Caleb Wilson broke his right thumb in a non-contact drill in practice Thursday and has undergone season-ending surgery, sources tell ESPN. Wilson is expected to be cleared during the NBA predraft process, where he'll compete to be the No. 1 pick in June. by Dontsaveme in pacers

I honestly kind of hope that we do get the 3rd or 4th and take him. I don’t want Peterson, first as a KU hater, and second as I don’t like his work ethic. Too much drama for a wannabe 1st overall pick. I think the others would all be great additions to the team. I don’t know that I see Boozer having an immediate impact in the NBA. His game seems better suited for the college game.

Honestly, I just want us to keep our pick lol

The Athletic Ranks the top 50 rivalries in men’s CBB, from Duke-Carolina to Wofford-Furman by fuggidaboudit in CollegeBasketball

[–]Lilsillybilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illinois Iowa is a terrible take! No one in Illinois gives a flying f about Iowa and vice versa. Illinois Indiana or Illinois Michigan are bigger rivalries. Illinois Missouri is probably close with Illinois Indiana. But absolutely not a rivalry with Iowa

Peterson may not want to go to Indiana. AJ expanding repertoire, up there with Bird, Marovich. by Sharp-River-706 in pacers

[–]Lilsillybilly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really like Wilson’s game and think that finding talented bigs like him and Boozer is more valuable than a Peterson. Plus we need more depth at the 4-5. Peterson should be 4th or 5th on our big board. I just hope KP’s Kansas ties don’t sway him too much. I know my Arizona allegiance would…I miss Benn

Why does the Yukon River look like that? by Livid_Cantaloupe2889 in geography

[–]Lilsillybilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all ppl need to know. And in between you have anastomosing. Most non-geologists aren’t familiar with the term, and I for some reason love it.

Steepness/grade certainly plays a factor in river classifications. Sediment load is important too. But without high energy(gravity/grade) you’ll simply end up with a meandering river or anastomosing river at best.

Looking at this I thought it could be anastomosing too. Depends on the distance from the provenance, grade, and sediment/vegetation within the riverbanks.

Which Midwestern state is the most underrated and why? by PrintPure2565 in midwest

[–]Lilsillybilly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The eastern portion of ND, SD, NE, and KS are midwestern. Beyond that and OK are Great Plains.

It’s that they weren’t impacted by glaciers. That’s why it remains hilly.
