Crazy that as dominant as he is in college...zero talk of him being even relevant in the pros.
Trying to think of a good NBA comparison for Garza.
Big Ten college hoop analyst Robbie Hummel mentioned former Purdue center Brad Miller who played 16 seasons in the NBA.

Too much puck luck for me.
Hard to relate to the large legion of foreign players.
And I never played the game so I'll be catching up on the strategy.
Other than that, it looks like an exciting game and those who like it seem to love it.
To each his own.
The William Hill outlet at Prairie Meadows looks good, FISH.
Frank Kaminsky. Nice college game with size and able to shoot it from deep. Grabbed his cup of coffee. Still hanging on as a fringe player.
Kaminsky and Garza with much different body types, however.
Garza's a tank compared to the much slimmer Kaminsky.
I went to school with Frank Kaminsky's mother.
She was 6-1 and Dad was 6-7 or thereabouts.

Late career Demarcus Cousins perhaps, after he lost his athleticism and just became an outside shooter and defensive rebounder. Amazing how the Rockets just letting him go, he was putting up near double doubles in his last handful of games. Boogie must have a contender lined up who wants him and he talked his way out.

Larry Bird and Bill Laimbeer did well
When some NBA guys experience slippage in their game, they disappear quickly.
Interesting how the refs pick up on the decline.
If you don't get the benefit of the whistle as an aging veteran in the NBA, you're in trouble.
Several Wooden Award winners were disappointments in the NBA game.
Ed O'Bannon, Jimmer Fredette and Frank Mason III immediately come to mind.

Ed O'Bannon, haha the Nets drafted him number 9 in 95 I think.
Two rebuilt knees on a number 9.
Sat on the bench cried for his Mom for 2 seasons and quit.

Different times. These days a "kid" who is 21 is seen as a serious liability in the NBA draft. If you ain't 19 then your chances of getting picked in the lottery are greatly reduced. TTo win an award you need a few years of production and hype, so most draftable players aren't going to stick around long enough for that.

BEAUTIFUL FACILITY.........so-so OUT
DraftKings, FanDual, MgM better sportsbooks
As far as Iowa/Garza...........will be surprised if they make it to the great eight, even the sweet sixteen may be a stretch, although this is his best squad in his career of 20 some odd years, coach FRAN has never taken a team to the sweet sixteen, EVER.

Joe Kleine
I like that comparison to Luke Garza.
Same body type and body movement.
Now to find a modern-day Garza.
Joe Kleine last played in the NBA in the year 2000.
Haha.
Kevin McHale is a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall-of-Famer.
Luke Garza will be inducted in the University of Iowa Athletics Hall-of-Fame, next to FISHHEAD's plaque.
One problem with Luke Garza.
At age 22, he is who he is.
Not a lot of upside.
Unlike Jalen Suggs, the 19-year-old freshman at Gonzaga University.

Almost Allright
GO Bucks!!!
Miss venues such as this. St. John’s Arena was a fantastic place to see an OSU game. State high school semis and finals as well. The place was loud and even in the upper deck you felt like you were in the action. Now? The Schott. Forget about it. Snore fest.
