WTKA Roundtable 4/30/2026: Never Made a Bracket

Listen Later

Things Discussed:

  • Jalen Reed, longer and switchable.
  • Thiam: Shot selection is abominable. He's mobile, not fully a switch guy, can hedge. Offensively intriguing, takes fadeaways but was 48% away from the rim. VERY strong—gave as good as he got against Krivas—but didn't post up very much. His left hook looks more natural than his right hook. Closer to switchable than Mara.
  • Craig: four guys on the roster not playing.
  • Reed: Think as the season progresses he is going to make a difference, because he can give you a lot of different things. A 6-10 guy who can guard guards: yes please!
  • JP Estrella: Noticeably positive impact as an offensive rebounder on the #1 OReb team when he was rotating with offensive linemen.
  • Sam wants Trey to watch Late Michael Jordan the post player, which will make him more dynamic in the mid-range.
  • Cadeau is the guy who gets you good shots, McKenney is the guy who makes your bad shots.
  • Swing guy: McCoy. Shooting is questionable but instantly project him to a Roddy role. Gets downhill, has that wingspan. Could be the starting three: Yaxel-like ability to guard up and down the roster.
  • Ceiling? If Reed can be healthy for a season they're another 1-seed, otherwise 3-seed? Think other basketball teams have gotten much better.
  • Quinn Costello: Year as a bench shooter, needs that year to learn to play defense.
  • This is the least popular idea in sports history. NOBODY likes it except the major conference commissioners who've never filled out a bracket in their lives.
  • Hockey: no updates, except Denver picked up a defenseman. Michigan preseason #1 likely, except voters just vote the order of last year's F4. There will be guys on the 4th line who are like 3rd round+ picks.
  • Cockamamie ideas for renovating Yost.
