They looked to be keying on him last night and didn't let him get to the lane.
I think that's how high his value is and imo it's good he had a game like that this early in the conference season to work though.
Cato got a 42 million contract extension. Granted most people thought it was a joke and he was routinely at the top of the most overpayed players list, but he still got his bag.
Is this Bizzaro-Blum? He looks just like him?
Stevie Johnson played the 5 at 6-4? No.
Fizer may not have been a true 5, but he certainly played the 5 in college.
Mom well over pace to break Willoughby's single season record of 102 threes made and maybe set % record (McGee 46.4) while doing it if keeps this up
Assuming he keeps up the same shots-per-game, and excluding an unknown number of post-season games, Milan would break the season record on 3P% if he shoots only 38.3% from here out.
56.3% on 7.4 attempts per game is quite the heater!

You are correct. People comparing him to shooters from ISU in the past don’t realize how insane 56% shooting is. It would shatter our school record and literally be an all time season since they started keeping track of this.
Now will he keep this up? Who knows. But - to your point - he could regress significantly and still put up our best season mark ever.
Well we all know Stirtz is waaay better And is a top draft choice over Mommy!
What Milan is doing is historical, but catch and shoot from 3 alone may not get you near the lottery - especially with many projecting this years draft class to be unusually loaded deep. His lack of athleticism as a wing in the NBA makes him more limited both offensively and defensively which will hurt his draft stock to some degree.
Stirtz and Milan are not really apples to apples comparison. It’s really hard to say one is better than the other because their role on the floor is entirely different.
I don't think our coaches or players care whether he scores at all, but when other teams start thinking he's not an offensive threat, he'll have some big games offensively. In addition to his defense, his ball handling and role in facilitating the offense indicate he'll be a heck of a point guard.
Shirley, Fizer, Tinsley vs Buchanan, Jefferson, Lipsey. Factor in supporting staff and discipline I like this year's potential.
Milan is a sneaky-good defender, I'd go so far as to call him a "plus" defender on off-ball defense (when our draconian series of rotations breaks down, it's rarely because of him) and he gets burned on-ball way less than you might expect.
I think his athleticism is improving. I think he's a lock to have a great pro career in Europe if not in the NBA.
He is definitely much stronger than he was as a freshman and his defense has improved. SF position in the league is often one of the more athletic and that’s going to be the knock on him.
To be clear, I’m not trying to imply he’s not going to have an NBA career. Was just responding to why he’s not a projected lottery pick.
Just a couple years ago I would have expected Milan to be off to the NBA after this season (if he continues anywhere close to this pace). But now, in the new reality of college athletics, if he's not a lottery pick (and I don't think he will be), staying in college might be a more lucrative option. Of course that brings the concern of whether ISU will be able to afford him.
