I think there are better comparisons but Dekker isn’t a terrible one. If you go by when Dekker was last at Wisky- it was only 6 years ago. Get that memory in shape Lenny!

Would we make another pass at Paul McMillian? Not sure he is a combo but he is a good floor general type.
Maybe someone like Grayson Allen?
I’m not that familiar with mcmillan’s game. I thought he was a pure pg, and if that’s the case I think were good with Smith. If he’s more of a creator, then sure.
Who was the iu player who used to trip people?
Wasn't there also an iu player who used to hit guys in the nuts all the time?
Devan Dumes… was 2 years ahead of me at Decatur Central High School. Same regional as Eric Gordon, Jeff Teague, Greg Oden and Mike Conley
And Derek Elston.
I was talking about the player that elbowed Brian Butch in the nuts. I was watching that gameThought it was Derek Elston....
Such a tool. Glad we didn’t get him.Thought it was Derek Elston....
If we had, that likely wouldn't have happened.
Then again, that might shed some light as to the reason he chose to go "elsewhere"...
Cody Zeller grabbed a Michigan players arm and hit himself in the nuts with it once.
I think that was a different deal. Maybe Cody was hoping to get asked out on a date?
I think Crean told him to do it. Same year that that one guy who we all hated placed his face into an elbow trying to get a flagrant call at the end of the game.
Is that sort of like when the Cobra Kai guy in The Karate Kid gets told by his sensei to sweep the leg?
Crean: "grab the nuts"
iu player: "but coach, I can beat this guy!"
Crean: "I don't want him beat, I want his nut racked!"
Several nice lines! Love the FTs
Looks like Indy Heat made some hay with the extra free minute. 
This looks like his first high major offer from Creighton.
I'm prejudiced for the local guys ... and this kid a gem of a good citizen too. Jonah Lucas from Harrison is having a great summer. I'd love to see him be a preferred walk-on if he's interested. We need that kid taht gives everything he's got every single practice in order to get a few minutes on every team
Had a big game against one of the top teams in EYBL and the #1 prospect in 2022 Jalen Duren.
Some recent props for Braden Smith, too. Our 2022 class is a sneaky, under the radar kind of good. Curious to see if these guys bubble up in the rankings over the summer.
That Yeo kid from Korea looked pretty good, 25.6 ppg almost 7 ppg better than the second best.
At 6'8", that dude was impressive and polished. I liked his step back jumper from the wing.
His handling was OK with a decent vision.
But, we already have plenty there and many coming in (Heide and Colvin).
Boiler Up!!
I don't recall seeing this article about Braden Smith posted.

Based on descriptions of his playing style, will Smith remind us of Carson Cummingham?

Maybe, but he reminds me of Aaron Craft, playing style. Agin not saying he is the next Craft.I don't recall seeing this article about Braden Smith posted.

If Braden plays tough and causes our opponents to hate playing him,
That is Chris Kramer/Aaron Craft's Second/Third Coming
Boiler Up!!
If he can play defense like Craft, he’ll have a huge impact. That’s a huge if, though. Craft was the only player in the Big Ten that I felt could really pressure Lewis Jackson and contain his dribble penetration.
