"Freak athlete" was the phrase out of Jay Bilas' mouth. "Upside pick" said Bill Simmons.

What the ESPN analysts were alluding to Thursday night after the Detroit Pistons selected North Texas' Tony Mitchell in the second round also is ringing true with others today:

Detroit may have ended up with one of the steals of the NBA Draft at No. 37.

That's certainly an opinion of CBSSports.com's Gary Parrish, who listed Mitchell among the players "picked too low" in the draft.


"The Pistons managed to get a lottery talent outside of the top 35, which is always nice. Who knows if Mitchell will tap into his potential? But if he does, watch out. This is a prospect with lots of natural ability, one who was undeniably worth a flyer at this point in the draft," Parrish wrote.

      I can't blame them, the system in place allows them to profit and to move freely. We may not like it, but it's the system. I'm hoping schools taking over the collectives, it's already happening for reasons I stated above, will usher in contracts and buy outs for players. We've opened Pandora's box so we aren't going back to amateur sports, the best we can get out of it is payment on our investments.

      Agree, there was some semblance of programs doing the right thing and following the rules even though they were always getting busted for violations, and everyone knew cheating was going on. It's why I was saying the veil is off now, and making everyone play by those rules has supercharged the whole thing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the schools aren't supposed to work with NIL collectives to get players right? But everyone including UNT is 100% working with these collectives to send out deals to players. Same kind of fake rule following like we used to have, just more of it now.

      I’m not the type who’s going to say, “I’m done with college sports” and that be it. I’m moreso the guy whose interest is just going to wane to the point that I don’t watch anymore. It would actually free up a lot of time that I could be more productive🤣🤣
