Possible Ponds Wrist Injury

#SJUBB guard Shamorie Ponds had an X-ray today on his right hand, according to his Snapchat story:
Per The Torch

And...So it begins.

Apparently ok

Oh god no!

Tend to think that Linfonte out of precaution holds him out for Friday, hopefully his swelling subsides and he's good to go. Nearly had a heart attack over the past couple of hours, this would've killed our OOC record. Thank goodness.

He's light years better than anyone else we have.

Lovett is probably closest, but Ponds can be a top 5 guard in the country this year. He should be considered a near lottery pick.

Ponds is very very good, but this is complete lunacy

Before playing a college game or scrimmage, I wrote "With his jumper and versatility Moe looks like a lock for the lottery if he is in fact 6'8.5." A poster responded:  "Lottery after one year = ridiculous."

Shamorie Ponds is a first round pick and a future NBA caliber PG, and I've hesitated to disclose  that publicly for over a year, while alluding to it.

One correct prediction in the past 6 years, not bad.

Ponds may well end up an NBA player and could even crack the 1st round at some point. But he's not going to be a lottery pick and there's 0 chance he's on the lottery radar after this year. He's very good and will carry our team most times but also won't be a top 5 guard in college basketball this year. He won't even be the best guard in the Big East.

The difference between Harkless and Ponds is Harkless had the size and athleticism that gave him tremendous long-term upside. Ponds is a tweener in that he's not a true PG yet and is way too small to play the 2 in the NBA. NBA teams don't fawn over players like that

Lenn Robbins?

Mo had the length and size to go with the skill level.  Hence lottery pick.  And he had a year to showcase it on a depleted roster.

Ponds is at minimum a 3 year player.  Think he is similar to Cotton on the college level, who stayed 4 years and was one of the best guards in the Big East for at least 3 (and nationally for at least 2).

Ha!

Marillac has said lots of stuff on these boards.  A handful has come to fruition, but lots of it never materialize.  He reminds me of a dude who I grew up with, and we still occasionally talk and hang out....  He says all kinds of a stuff, and he'll flail on 3 out of 4.  But, once he hits on one, then he'll let you know, and make you believe that's the norm.  LOL   

If you toss enough shit to the wall, something will eventually stick, right?
