Will Clayton be drafted in round 1?

Miami Heat Lose Out On Walter Clayton Jr. In NBA Draft

 

Go get paid, son!

 

Broome was a handful in college, but he also got all the whistles. He could bull his way to the hoop all game, all season, and not get called for it. That's why he looked genuinely shocked that he got called for running right through Condo in the Final Four.

 

As I said I just re-watched that game and the charging call you mentioned was a big one.
As you say broome was shocked.
But I re-watched it about 5 times and it was as blatant of a charge as you will ever see. Not even close.

I'll say it again- Clayton was head and shoulders better than Broome!

 

23.7ppg is impressive.

But I think in terms of the total points list, that “did it in just 7 games” is one of those quirky stats. Florida didn’t have a lot of NCAA success before Donovan, and Donovan ran a system where he wanted all 5 starters to have pretty equal scoring. So even though he surely had guys capable of dropping 30, that’s not really what his style of play called for. Plus as great as Donovan’s successes were, he did have that long stretch of 1st weekend exits. So only anyone associated w/ the 04’s and that Patrick Young led group were really piling up “games played” in NCAA tournaments to even compete with that show Clayton put on.

 

What the heck?

 

The NBA is WAY different than major college basketball. Clayton has to adjust to better players he has to defend and can close faster on his shots. But his "got it" will allow him to succeed. Broome is going to be a classic case of a ceiling that isn't close to good enough for the NBA. His athleticism just isn't good enough for a big. He will be a G league darling and go to a couple of NBA teams who want a buzz signing of some sort.
