Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
There was some cynicism on Inside Nebraska about his commitment and snarky comments about Fred's quote about international players having excellent fundamentals.
Fred is right. Not all high school coaches in the USA think teaching the fundamentals is important these days, especially young coaches enamored by the 3 point line. In other countries, they stress the fundamentals starting at a very early age. It used to be that way here, but things change.
I agree. And it's starting to show internationally because there's a good number of great basketball players from other countries besides the USA.
Neither Luka or Wemby are top 5 players…..
Takeaways from Leo Curtis' debut at 2025 FIBA U20 EuroBasket
Nebraska's Leo Curtis is playing for his Icelandic national team this summer. Here's a breakdown of his first game against Serbia.www.on3.com
Wemby isn't, I agree. But Luka most certainly is. I'd go:
Damn. In that case, we need to recruit all of them! 😉
Give me Ant and Tatum over Luka.
Both great players. I literally have Ant one spot behind Luka, so we aren't arguing over a lot here. But Luka is better than Tatum. Tatum should be better, but he doesn't appear to have that extra gear or killer in him.
Looks like a WNBA ball. Gimmick.
