probably put on 20-30 more lbs since last update. Kid is going to be great for what we need him for IMO.

Tuba, improved tremendously in the short time he played basketball. Darcy has been playing for years and is way ahead in his game compared to tuba. He is also physically more mature and his body type can add good weight. The Tigers are lucky to get this kid.

Agreed, wasn't a knock on Tuba, as that dude came a loooong way, just letting people know that this kid is much farther along in his development.

I think he is a lot better then tuba, he can go both hand hooks in front of rim can step out confidently hit jump shots but going hard to play a lot min with talent down low that's so awesome

I feel sorry for Darcy even being compared to Tuba.

I don't even care why you think this, but why would you feel it necessary to post this on this board?

After watching his (limited) film I like the pickup even more. He looks relatively skilled with a decent midrange jumper, and his athleticism is more than adequate for a 7 footer.

If he has bulked up to more like 250 than 220, he may be ready to contribute earlier than previously thought.

All I meant was they were both projects and I think Darcy can give us about the same production ADP did offensively and on the glass right away

The comparison is valid, given all we know about both guys.

My issue was with the guy basically trying to shite on ADP.

No shitting on ADP but Malone is going to be very solid.

I suppose, but I think Malone has so much more room to improve, whereas I can't see ADP getting much better.

Dude, I like Del Piero but he's far from SEC caliber.

nice 1st post


if he can fill in for del piero next season that's all we'll really need most of the time. plenty of time for him to continue his development.

Bull. I sure as hell wish he was coming back this year. He was a big part of our success this past season and I doubt he would have stopped improving so quickly. People don't give DP enough credit for where his game was heading. Just wish he would have started playing a year or two earlier.

Just so you know, random guessing on the ACT should get you a 12, so anyone who scores an 11 is pretty much hopeless.
