The announcer thinks Bader is an NBA player.  At 6'4", which significant range, I think that is a possibility, as a 3 point specialist.

I heard him say that as well.  I think its a possibility.  However, against bigger and faster athletes I don't think he will be able to create his own 3pt shot. 
CRUSADERS!!!

Even 3-pt. specialists in the NBA have to be able to defend.  I haven't paid much attention to how he does at that end of the court.  Does anyone know?

Outside of Mondy no one on that team really stands out as particularly bad or good.  Mondy is excellent, quite obviously, but their team defense is reletively meh.

It's a shame that Lee got overshadowed because a 3 point shooter was hot last night. He had a much more noteworthy game. 31 points on 7-10 shooting. 6-8 from three, and a perfect 11-11 from the charity stripe. To go along with 6 assists and only 2 TOs and 2 PFs as a PG. Compared to Bader's 35 points on 10-14 shooting, 10-13 from three, and  5-5 from the FT line, with only 2 boards, 0 assists, 1 steals, and 4 PFs. Other than make 3s Bader literally did nothing else in that game.

Like I've said in the past Bader is a glorified version of Will Bogan. Don't get me wrong Bader is a very good player, perhaps one of the top 5 if they were still in the Summit League, but the HL has players who aren't so one-dimensional. Example: Kendrick Perry, Keifer Sykes, LaVonte Dority, Alec Brown, etc...

Bader shot very well last game and that was it.

Guess whose team just won $1,000,000 in "The Tournament"?

That's quite a bonus on top of his $125,000 playing salary!
