Hope he finds his niche and sticks in the league.

Vaden

With both DJ and Vaden playing for the Thunder, I’ll probably star turning into a bit of an Oklahoma fan. I hate the idea of cheering for a team who’s owners lied their way out of Seattle, but I’m a huge fan of those two IU guys

Man I remember Vaden waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day when I was playing middle school AAU ball. He was like THE player to watch… everyone would gravitate towards the game he was in.

Indiana as a state has produced a very good amount of pros recently…
