The NBA values talent AND youth....Marcus Smart is only 24 and was drafted 5 years ago by the Celtics...but he was young for his age at Oklahoma State and blew up his Sophomore year and became a lottery pick. Smart is listed at 6-4 220 by the Celtics as a SG/PG.

Marcus Smart came to the NBA after Sophomore season as a 19 year old with these numbers below (lost in the 1st round NCAA to Gonzaga with a stat line of 20 Pts, 10 rebs, 5 Asts and 5 Stls).

Smart - Soph numbers Oklahoma State
32.7 MPG 18.0 PPG 5.9 RPG 4.8 APG 2.9 SPG .422 FG% .299 3P% .728 FT%

Cumberand - Junior numbers Cincinnati
31.3 MPG 19.0 PPG 4.1 RPG 3.4 APG 1.3 SPG .422 FG% .424 3P% .766 FT%

Uhhhhh. Marcus Smart is probably the best perimeter defender in the game and if not is easily top 3, while also scoring as well as Cumberland did as an 19 year old sophomore in the big 12. He also played point guard both years at OK State, not the 2. Not exactly your best comparison.

Yeah, that's a terrible comp honestly. I don't think Cumberland could get close to Smart's defensive abilities, and they play differently on the offensive end as well. I think he is probably closer to a Kent Bazemore if I had to comp to a current NBA player with similar skill sets and weaknesses.

Tell me how you guys really feel I saw someone say a poor man James Harden a few weeks back on here for Cumberland . I was watching the Celtics vs. Pistons game and I was seeing in Smart some of the things Cumberland does well. Bottom line, if Cumberland's offensive numbers hold steady and he keeps turnovers down while creating assists...he has a chance (would need a big March) to get a team or two in the league to fall in love with his game.

Defense is a mentality...if he truly wants to leave as a junior for the NBA ...hustle defensive rebound plays and more active hands on defense creating turnovers would have him start showing up on draft boards.

I was a bit harsh ...I mean, offensively the Smart comp makes some sense, even if he was a bit more of a volume guy than JC is and he wasn't as solid of a shooter, but they are incredibly different defensive players, and they always have been. Cumberland is opportunistic on defense, but definitely takes plays off...Smart is a friggin bulldog and always has been even back at Okie State.

The Harden thing isn't CRAZY. I mean, his FT rate is incredibly high, he's a competent shooter, they're roughly the same size and athletic ability (Harden could barely dunk at Arizona State), the issue is that people see the player now vs. the player in the same situation (ie. Harden at ASU vs. the guy averaging 40 ppg over the last month in the NBA).

To be clear, I think the people who say JC's game doesn't translate are a bit off...to me, his game translates far better than Evans' ever did.

I do think he can and will play in the NBA. I just don't think he will be drafted at this time, but he likely would get multiple FA offers and could put himself in a good situation (Or maybe he sneaks into the 2nd round). The NBA is big on young guys with upside, plus a ton of foreign players still get drafted.

Maybe if he comes back next year and plays some PG, maybe he could work into a guy that could get drafted (And maybe sneak into the 1st round). While he won't be young, guys are playing in the NBA well into their 30s, so the age thing isn't that big of a deal IMO (Not like he wil be 25 or something and SK was hurt by the prep year and the redshirt year). I think from a draft stand point they like the younger guys with more upside. But if JC turns himself into an All American that proves he can play some PG too, he becomes a much better draft prospect and maybe can get that coveted guaranteed first round contract.

Before I say anything else, RIP Rod Monroe.

Jarron should consider the Rod Monroe route and play for Fick for a year. I'm not sure where he fits best on the football field but he is a hell of an athlete and seems to enjoy contact. Tight end? Defense?

Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure it's been talked about lol

Ok then. Well REST IN PEACE RODRICK ROCHELLE MONROE anyway. Despite the fact that this thread is about Jarron's future, I will be sure to comb through the entire board before I post anything again.

Better yet, you can consider this my last post on Banter. This board used to be a lot more light hearted and fun. Disagreeing is what we do on this board but I can do without the snarky comments. I just don't have time to constantly monitor this entire board to make sure I don't post something that has already been discussed. I spend most of my time working so I can continue to meet long term financial commitments that I have made to UC athletics for scholarships, stadium additions, and the "new" arena.

I'm thankful for my +3 rep points from gruehls in 2010. Not that anyone cares but I join Rath and the others in exile.

Uhhhh.....I meant that it's been talked about by the football team...not on this board.

i say mid second round next year is his ceiling. why wouldn't he come back if his stock wasn't all too attractive? kids do it all the time. maybe he wants to get his degree as well

I suspect only Jarron could tell us at this point what Jarron plans to do and so far as I know, he's been silent on the subject.

My guess is it's a 50/50 chance he leaves after this year, despite the mock draft information that circulates. I think part of the speculation here stems from concerns about the impact on UC's 2019-2020 team in Cumberland's absence. And while I wouldn't deny any player the chance to pursue his dream of a professional career at the time of his choosing, an announced departure about a month from now would leave a gaping hole in UC's back court that would likely knock a promising squad for next year out of the tournament altogether. Absent his scoring, and reliable points from JJ and often from Broome, it's hard to imagine that scoring deficit could be overcome with the returning talent and new recruits/redshirts.

The Harden thing isn't CRAZY.

To be clear, I think the people who say JC's game doesn't translate are a bit off...to me, his game translates far better than Evans' ever did.

I think you're really understating harden's athletic ability at Arizona state. I do agree the way they play in college is a really good comp.

But if JC turns himself into an All American that proves he can play some PG too, he becomes a much better draft prospect and maybe can get that coveted guaranteed first round contract.

Honestly, it kind of feels like that's what this year has been for him. He has the ball in his hand a TON (he has a usage rate in the mid to upper 40s I believe), and I think hes right on the cusp of All-America. I just really dont think there is much more he could do on the college side that would benefit him at this point...he has shown a more consistent jumper, he has shown the ability to carry the offensive load, he has a solid coaching foundation on defense (even if he needs to work some things out there), and he has more outwardly showcased his passing and ability to run on the break and get to the line/score efficiently. There really isnt much else I think he could do at this point outside of completely changing his jumper that could really change the perception of him as a player...just my opinion though.

Cumberland might not be the most athletic guy but the kid is a winner. If he doesn't get drafted he will most likely get a chance to play his way onto a team like Gary did.

Nice honor for Jarron, being listed on the east team in an ESPN article about what a collegiate east/west all-star game might look like from this year's talent pool...

I often get crushed for my opinions, but time has proved many, not all Mark, to be right. We are still in the mid-majors; and thus the mid-major attitude by the few that the Mods let run rough shot.

Does anybody's computer stats that show the AAC gets just 2 bids, also show the demise of Banter to be left to the teenagers living in their Mom's basement.

There are plenty of posters I wish were still here and I wish Walter was among them, but his blow up and leaving was literally over the misinterpretation of a fairly innocuous response to a post by Cataclysmo.

I'm not sure what I or other mods should be expected to do about that. In my brief time as a mod I've received one complaint through DM from one poster regarding another poster. If there are issues and things people want addressed feel free to raise them, but its a message board and people are going to respond to posts. Don't personalize the response and I don't see the big issue.

I hope you stick around and appreciate your perspective even when we disagree. I disagree with various posters on a number of things, but appreciate their perspective nonetheless. Some of my most missed posters are those I've engaged with more and disagreed with often (Eastside on politics or Beercat on a number of things), but to each their own. Everyone can prioritize their time however they see fit. I miss Rath's dry, biting posts, but he rubbed many the wrong way as well with some of those. No poster is going to be perfect or rub everyone the same way.

If there are issues I'd love to help resolve them and hope people will reach out to me so others don't leave like Walter. I don't see any issue with Cataclysmo's post and he further clarified that he wasn't even trying to say what Walter thought he said. That's the kind of thing that could have easily been resolved without a blowup and I hope people think about that going forward and if something is bothering you reach out to a mod and we'll try to address it if we can.

You all just ran off one of UC's best donors.

I often get crushed for my opinions, but time has proved many, not all Mark, to be right. We are still in the mid-majors; and thus the mid-major attitude by the few that the Mods let run rough shot.

Does anybody's computer stats that show the AAC gets just 2 bids, also show the demise of Banter to be left to the teenagers living in their Mom's basement.

What? I guess we are in the "old men yelling at clouds" portion of the basketball season... The guy threw a hissy fit over someone commenting that his post was correct and that the football team had discussed Jarron playing some football. Then you come in 3 days later blaming it on teenagers and politicians?

It sounds like you two have had some bone to pick for months and decided the innocuous post about the football team discussing Cumberland was the post that you were going to take your anger out on. Get over yourselves.

I don't know how you extrapolated that from this, but I guess you've proven your point. Power needs to be strangulated, gridlocked and ineffectual. Otherwise, people would actually try to do things. Seeing your contribution here makes me grateful to live in America. The world indeed sir, the world indeed.

nobody ran anybody off. talk about a classic misunderstanding and overreaction.

we all have bad days. and we're all UC fans. hope walt comes back.

who ran off my lawn?

WalterSobchak is one of UC's biggest donors? That's amazing. I guess Jackie Treehorn would be Mike Bohn, or is that too on the nose?

Anyway, it's priceless that dude was able to shoehorn Walter's leaving into one of his exhausted rants about UC being mid-major. Can't believe he didn't throw something in about Ono, though.

Considering the three of us sat at mid-court in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th row and got to know each other a few years ago you just made my point. No facts, all bs
