Colvin to Wake Forest

Must have not wanted to play in NCAA tournament?
Good school, wish him luck. He has NBA level athletic ability and body, I hope he can develop the missing ball handling and driving skills missing to make a leap to the next level, really even not Euro ready at the moment.
Best of luck Myles. Good choice on school imo, will get a bit more opportunity at Wake while still being a great education.

I wish him the best. And I hope Painter stays in touch…
Interesting. Kept his colors.
5th in ACC and 21 wins isn't a bad place to start. It's not like he transferred to a podunk program.
Best of luck to Myles. Hope he thrives, unless Purdue plays Wake.
their two best scorers(both guards) are seniors, so there is the chance for pt.
I go to several Wake games every year. They have a good coach and some really good players this year. They tied for 4th with SMU and UNC by record. They have a really good freshman Juke Harris - tall lanky swing forward. And a couple of really good guards - although I think the kid from the UK is graduating. Colvin could be the star.

I think he will be a star. He will get a chance to grow as a player, ball handling will improve. He is an elite athlete and good to great defensively
Besides Braden has the best chance to make NBA from last years backcourt. Harris may if improves his shooting.
agree, plus he joins the kid from Valpo in going there and it's a good school too
LOL. Silly autocorrect. I edited. I think Colvin will be great and has NBA potential especially if he gets better at handling the ball. I'm excited to see him play close by. Wake also has a kid from La Lumiere.
I'm not sure I agree with Colvin's NBA potential. There's lots of good, athletic 6'5 guys who can shoot 30% from 3. Yes, he's a good defender, but that's not what gets guys to the NBA.
Now, if he really improved his handles and started driving/finishing, that would make a big difference.
JMHO, he is at best an average defender but that might not matter much in the NBA, definitely has to improve his 3 PT% shooting and passing in pressure situations. Maybe in one or two years more of college play he will!
Not sure most of you watch the NBA or are even remotely familiar with the current 'standard' of the league.
Colvin is very athletic, but will never play a minute in the NBA. And that's ok. I hope he thrives at WF and beyond.

Plus, given the state of ACC hoops, the opportunity is there for a retro-fitted Wake Forest to quickly rise to the upper tier of that league…
4 teams made it this year, no reason to think they wouldn't get that number or more next year.
His defensive skills finally clicked the second half of the year, that's why he was playing down the stretch in important games. If he makes that leap again he's going to be a very good defender.
If you aren't an unstoppable force on offense you better be able to play D if you want to stick in the league.
Interesting how it has flipped over the passage of several decades.....rule changes had something to do with it as well.
