        Good thread here. Especially as I'll be on vacation and not be able to watch, I appreciate any updates.

        REALLY rooting for them all, but Brea and Amari are two guys I'd love to see make their respective teams.

            I'd love to see Jax perform well, but that was a rough first go.

            He had a tendency to get lost in his head at Kentucky. Let's hope he can shake it off going forward.

                          Brea’s first two games have been strong with excellent shooting. He’s garnering a lot of positive attention already 👍

                            Brea is getting some very positive hype this summer. They keep saying that he will play a role and make a contribution this year.

                            Good for him!

                              Brea's rep as a shooter only was put to rest pretty early last season. He got exponentially better in every facet of the game as the season went along. Hopefully he keeps this up.
