1. It wasn't just people here who were saying that. He was being slotted as a 2nd rounder in many mock drafts. Maybe there was some "homerism" in this, but it wasn't just Gopher fans thinking it.

2. I think most of the predictions came after his sophomore year where he really had a nice year on the offensive end. He shot 45%, up from 40.5% the year before. He shot 37% for 3-pointers, up from 26% the year before. He improved his free throw % from 69% to nearly 82%. With everything else he does well, I don't think it was that outlandish to think if he would have continued to improve his shooting, he'd be able to play at the next level. Not sure why his shooting has gotten worse as he became an upperclassman though.

"Homerism" on GopherHole. Are you joking? Not here!!

I remember it being one website, and I believe the same website had Andre Hollins being a lottery pick, so we knew it was bull **** right away.

Nbadraft.net wasn't it?
