He's shooting better from 3 this season then Kane was in his last season at Marshall. Hoiberg is still our coach, so expect that percentage to go up a good ways too.

Well technically Kane still isn't that great of a shooter. Great player, yes. Great shooter, no.
He definitely could. But I did read in one of those articles that he hasn't had too many NBA scouts taking a live look-in on Niagara hoops to really evaluate him. Thus, he could make a move. "Could."
Well, what I meant when I said it was that the fact he wasn't a great shooter was really going to limit his impact here.
Pretty sure Nader had a poor shooting percentage too. They had one thing in common- the only good player on a terrible team.
I think I saw an article that said only one scout had been to a Niagra game all year.
If only we knew someone with some NBA connections.....
Of course he won't be saying anything about leaving Niagra anytime soon. But he will have a shot to go almost anywhere he wants. He would be foolish to stay.
I don't think he has a choice in the matter. If he graduates early then I don't think he can play basketball for them anymore, and if he wants to play in the NBA he isn't going to play at Niagra.
Graduating early would not prevent him from playing another year at Niagara, as long as he enrolls in graduate school.
Yeah, Anthony Booker graduated early and kept playing. Like others have said he just needs to enroll in grad school.
Which gets me thinking, does enrolling and not finishing grad school count against a school's APR?
Disagree re: playing for Niagra after graduation as he can always enroll as a grad student. I do agree re: chances in the NBA being reduced if he stays at Niagra. Playing against stiffer competition will increase his stock for the NBA. He just needs a coach who can help him improve his outside shot and who can expose him to an NBA-style offense. Hope he finds such a coach.
