Delete your account. While I haven't been commenting on here, I have been following the thread. I am interested to see if he makes it to the NBA; that would be really great.
Dude. I've been following the thread but haven't posted too. To answer your question, this is the "2019 NBA Draft" forum, where he is eligible to get drafted. So you can shut-up and actually talk draft here (i.e. Houston Cougars 2019)

The Cowboys cut a 10-point deficit to two points in the final minute, but the falcons hit free throws late to seal the win. "This is a different Air Force team in terms of what they want to do offensively, and so we did have to mix it up some between man and zone (defense)," UW head coach Allen Edwards said. "It was a hard fought game the whole way. We cut it to two (72-74) with under a minute to play (58 seconds). They hit a couple free throws on their next possession, and then after we missed a three Air Force came back with a big possession there at the end where they got us on a back cut and we were called for a blocking foul to stretch the lead out (to six points 78-72).

He hit a career-high seven against Air Force in the first meeting this season and once against Denver. Freshman trace Young added 11 points with three triples. Junior guard A.J.

"When you look at our team, we have to minimize things like second-chance points to win basketball games.

We did do a better job of taking care of the basketball today (only eight turnovers committed). After the Falcons opened the game with a three-pointer, the Pokes went on a 9-0 run thanks to a pair of triples from Hendricks and a another three-ball from Trevon "TJ" Taylor.
