Just so I'm clear, we've got people arguing that guy who had a <100 ORtg at Monmouth is amazing because Kevin Durant and LaMelo Ball are also skinny?
And because talent evaluators at the top of division 1 college bball seem to also be IN on him.

Holmgren, Wemby, Giannis, Halliburton, Alpharen Sengun, etc. etc.

Skill > Length > Athleticism >>>>>>> then strength
You are listing the best players in the world. This guy is solely a chucker at not a great percentage that apparently doesn't play good defense or rebound at a good rate. But yeah, go ahead and list all-world, long athletic, good defensive players because they are thin.
I'll for sure follow how he does at a step up but from his Monmouth stats he's not very efficient and won't be able to defend.

I'm not saying he's bad necessarily, but those teams are going to spend a lot of money on every single roster spot. I'd wager that he's more likely to be a good 3 point specialist off the bench rather than a dynamic scorer and starter at those schools. Size aside, his profile was an inefficient chucker with negative defensive value at the low major level.

I agree that those traits are more important. Depends on position and role, beyond that. They don't lift weights for the joy of it. Even the greatest 3 point shooter of all time hit the weights in the last few years.

This will be interesting. Storr is a chucker who takes bad shots. Wondering if the next school will chuck out a lot of money for him or if he will be able to get that much money. Everyone knows what he is now.
Feel like some team with a roster to build will take a chance on him. If I were DeVries with the Hoosiers I would take a shot at him hoping he's the scorer he was at Wisconsin. He showed a glimmer at the end of the season scoring 19 against UCF and 15 against Arkansas.

Thats the first team I thought of right off the bat. Indiana. They need bodies. He won't go to Iowa since he didn't play at Drake which seems to be a requirement right now at Iowa with the portal

In what world is 38% on 10 attempts per game an inefficient percentage?

Guess that makes 39.9% from 3 on 11 attempts per game pretty inefficient right? Guess Steph should probably pass the ball more. (Yes, I know the NBA line is further back). But if that were truly inefficient then the Warriors should probably try something different.

He has a 37% overall percentage with 3 turnovers a game and basically 0 offensive rebounds. That along with only 2 FT attempts/game and 0.5 steals shows me he doesn't like physical and doesn't care about getting within 17ft from the basket on either end.

Gotta love the nba hall of fame comparisons

Or maybe, he played for a really terrible Monmoth team that needed him to score a boat load of points, which led to some pretty inefficient looks from 3. I am just saying he has some potential especially as a 6'7" player with 2 years of eligibility. Shooters that can space the floor like this kid are welcome on any team even when they can't play defense.

Indiana was my first thought too. They have an entire roster to rebuild and are probably willing to take a flyer

The dude has changed schools every year, including high school. Not a TJ culture guy that's for sure

You are correct but right now we only have one for sure. And Lipsey, as good as he is, does turn the ball over.

If you want to get by with two ball-handling guards, one of them better be at least as steadying and have the stamina of Monte.
I’ve been assuming one of the freshman can play some point, but I could be wrong. I agree it’s definitely a priority either way, a critical one if we don’t think a freshman can be backup PG.
