Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?

I thought not.

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.

It's a Sith legend.

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life...

He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did.

Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."

If only Tommy was capable of playing 9 deep.

Impressive stats, but I'd rather be patient and wait for Adama-Alpha Bal to hit the portal.

Someone also mentioned the name Shane Dezonie on this forum and I remember watching Temple in their Conference tournament this year and he had some solid games helping Temple nearly run the NC State Gauntlet of winning 5 games in 5 days. They came up short to UAB in the Final. He improved a lot this season.

Adama Alpha-Bal could go pro for all we know at the moment. I don't think it will be easier to go pro next season. There will be some heavy hitters in the draft next year.

I would take Bal as a developmental prospect. Draft him around #45-50 and find him a team in Europe to join for a year and get picked up later in the season. That is what the Wizards did with Tristan Vukcevic (google him). He never went to American College though as far as I know. He's pretty good for a late 2nd round flier.
