  • Billy Preston should be playing with Kansas in the NCAA tourney right now. Instead, his career is in limbo because of an NCAA investigation that was never completed.

    Good thing BIL gave him a lot of coverage for his high school career. just a matter of showing it against better competition. I'm sure scouts know him since he was expected to be a top prospect in college and also a potential lottery pick. He just needs good mentors and coaches that would teach him how to play the right way and how to play intelligently. Really likeable guy from his videos and documentaries, seems like a good locker room guy.

    • @bluerabbitjeevs
      @bluerabbitjeevs 6 років тому +4

      I dont think he'll be drafted just looking at his draftexpress report. He's not an effective offensive option and lacks effort on defence. Teams will most likely pass him in the draft, but he still has the physical tools to play well and develop in the G-League and then hopefully gets picked up by an NBA team.

  • @shoot210
    @shoot210 6 років тому +9

    Damn hope this league doesn’t force him to stop playing as aggressive. They’re definitely less leniant on how physical and aggressive you can be in Europe. That aggressiveness is one of the things that makes Billy who he is and I hope he doesn’t lose it. The good thing is he should be able to obtain and refine new skills that he wouldn’t gave gotten in college.

    He got into a car accident with a fancy car (Jeep) and the NCAA took their sweet time to confirm or deny whether or not he had broken the rules. That's why he left. He was in limbo and not getting any in-game exposure. They never stated that he had broken any of their guidelines. It pisses me off because there is clear favoritism. The same year, Liangelo and Lonzo (rightfully) got high end cars, presumably from the BBB profits and no one batted an eye. LiAngelo wasn't kicked out until he got caught stealing in China.

      Turtle And Dad my suggestion then would be don’t sign a contract/scholarship which clearly states you can’t take outside benefits. Seems pretty simple. If you want to play in the NCAA then you have to play by the rules whether it’s perceived as fair or not.

    @rossjn9885 6 років тому

    He'll be a late first round pick or early second round pick. His upside is great and trainers are better than ever at preparing players for workouts. Once NBA front offices and coaches see him up close it will be hard to overlook taking a chance on him panning out after a year in the G-League and being a legitimate starter in the NBA.

It's like when people love you they can stop loving you at anytime. That's what happened to him, vs being feared and respected. People wouldn't dare upset you. But who cares, my boy found a spot for him, and I guarantee you, he will make it. His competition is not competition, my boy is American and black. It's in his blood!
