I'm guessing he came into it worried about injury, then discovered that defense is no priority thus reducing the risk, as well as learning about the great PR with fan interactions.

One of Montes friends from Michigan that has been hanging around the team for awhile. He played at a smaller college. He contacted me along with Bowie and told me to post highlights for him. So that's why I have them on my account.
We've had several transfers from mid-majors increase their productivity after coming here. We've also had some that did not. Who knows with Holden, but its not an extreme jump to go from 8/5 to 12/8 if he plays 30 minutes a game.
It is hard for a big man to get good averages when you aren't the top scoring option. They had two guards that were scorers and one of the forwards did the bulk of the scoring. That said, averaging double figures is harder than people think. Last year we were fairly balanced but only Nader, Morris, and Niang averaged 12 pts or more.
I'd be happy if he was averaging 8/9
myself..A few cheap buckets, box out, rebound, and defend is all I'm looking for from him...Pretty sure we won't be running a ton of offense through him with the backcourt we have..
I don't think you can judge a transfer's productivity based on the previous school. While he might get fewer looks due to our guards, he might get better looks when he gets them due to the skill of a point guard such as Monte. Just too many variables to predict.
Who is #2 in orange and what did he ever do to Burton? Deonte looked like he was on a mission to school the kid.
Might as well, could snag some UNI guys that way too and the PTL would really suck.
100% this. Most big men can't create their own shot and depend on quality guards to get them the ball. Playing with a better team might actually help him be more efficient and get the ball in better position to score.
It's not that kid, but there are several playing that my high school boys know from various things and they kind of love watching Thompson's videos and watching the arrogant ones get schooled.

He must also average one block or I will be very displeased and you will all hear about it.
I know someone with a connection to the Drake team and according to this person, a lot of the team doesn't get along and no one particularly likes each other. I thought it would be funny if the two getting into in the 2nd game on Sunday were Drake players, but no such luck.
The PTL is better than the CCL right now. Of course, a lot of that is Drake sucking ***.
