Duke fans of course think he isn't any good but K also didn't play Semi Ojeleye and he turned out to be pretty good.

If you get Brown and you get someone to help at the 3-4 spot, whether that be Lewis being good, Juiston coming or one of Lard/Young being flexible, we are a tourney team. If you bring in Brown and Juiston, we're close to last year. Much different, but close in terms of where we can go and we still have two spots to go find a shooter.
6-4 200lb guard.
Avg 6.2 ppg 1.6 rpg and 2.2 apg in 20 minutes per game last year.
Held a Murray State offer out of HS. Might be a connection there.

Ok, but all of Hoiberg's had to be done outside of Godfrey. Those were all public issues where there wasn't much of a way out. Prohm suspends guys for not doing the right things. It's not even comparable.
That's a bigger guard, former top 150 player who originally committed to Tennessee and is from there so there might be some connections
Kane was the baddest dude to come through this place in a long time. We shouldn't measure people compared to him for the reasons you mentioned. He's a rarity.
I really want Brown but I don't know if I'm as high on him yet as others here. He shot a horrid percentage last year. There are a lot of players that could average his point total if they just shot as much as he did. His percentages were better his sophomore year though so hopefully he just needs better guidance (Prohm). One thing I love about him is he shot a ton of free throws and at a great clip.
I think getting Thompson would be a successful grad transfer season. He's been a solid player on a good team, would be a good fit, and could give us 20-30 good minutes a game.
Horrid? He was high volume forced to carry the load so naturally his % would drop. With a better team and coach it'll go up.
what the hell is going on at UVA?
Did the players finally decide they want to play some offense.

.379 is horrid no matter how you qualify it. Like I said, there are a lot of players that if "forced to carry the load" could score that much at that percentage.
I said that.
His TS% is not far off from MM and Burton's and his effective % is not far off from Burton's. It's not horrid for a high usage guy on a bad team.
That includes free throws and I already said his free throw shooting and amount he gets to the line is great. That's why I mentioned them both separately.
You will find most other high usage guys on bad teams don't have a shooting percentage that low. He clearly has a problem with shot selection and decision making. Whether a different coach could turn that around are unknown at this point. It wasn't like he was playing for the worst team in the league. They were middle of the pack in the conference.
@VerbalCommits Tennessee G Kwe Parker (FR) is leaving the program.

Would love to make a run for Jeeter. Granting that next year is likely going to be focused on a rebuild, moving forward I would love to stockpile as much talent as possible. Despite the lack of playing time at Duke the kid obviously still has tremendous talent, and an incredibly high ceiling. Taking a red shirt year to sit out and focus on his game in a place more of the radar, like Ames, could do wonders.
If we would land him just think about the ceiling of the team in two years with. Wigging, Long, Babb, Jeeter, Lewis, and and experienced Young.

I like Shayok. You can only tolerate that style for so long. Getting blown up in front of the whole country scoring 39 is the straw that broke UVA's back apparently.
