Otz planning for Milan to be gone is what this tells me.
Really like 36.8% from 3 at 6.9/game and 84.7% FT shooting on 2.6/game
I'm not paying Milan money for a 6'7" PF who can't shoot. Not to mention Milan is essentially a 6'8" 3 who can post up a smaller defender while Punch is an undersized 4 who will struggle against bigger competent bigs. I'd much rather have Milan than a slightly more offensively gifted but smaller Blake Buchanon...
You think that the solution to losing the countries best shooter is this dude from Robert Morris?
Lol no. If we dont have Milan, and for the record there has been 0 indication that we wont, TJ will look MUCH higher than Robert ******* Morris
Agree that Prather on paper looks better, but we likely need both if/when Milan stays in the draft.
Sorry but this is wrong. We'll look to replace Milan by committee not with another $3M new player in the portal
Its not wrong. Whether we are replacing Milan with one or multiple, sights will be set higher
Encouraging stats in several areas.
Good thing about high FT% is, it isn't dependent on level of competition.
Possibly, but there are only 88 D1 players last year with 220 or more 3 point attempts. Of those with 220 or more attempts, Ryan Prather Jr was 33rd in percentage makes.
That's right around top 1/3 in the country amongst the high volume shooters and in the 99th percentile of D1 men's basketball players
Idk…. But I don’t see Milan in any of the mock drafts 2 rounds.
So,…. Is he demanding more money than we can pay? Or is he really thinking of taking money from one of those schools tampering with him . I thought he said he was coming back.
Not necessarily. He can play off guard coming off the bench, especially with his assist to turnover ratio.
While probable I don't think getting 3 players to replace 1 makes any sense. TJ plays 8 guys in rotation. If that is already commited returning: Toure, Bateman, Pleta, Buchanan.
NIL money is already allocated to 3 other rotational transfers. For example: Manning, Singleton, Prather.
With the Momcilovic situation he either is #8 with his own $2-3mil or that money should be spent on someone of or close to talent equivalent.
Im not sure if see a great path for the incoming freshman to get minutes outside of the noncon games
Maybe TJ won't have to tell him every time he sees him to shoot the ball, be more aggressive.
He's still an upgraded Heise on the offensive end and I don't even need to watch any of his games to know he can't defend as well as Heise.
If you're gonna replace Milan, you're gonna do it with 1 or 2 guys that show they have the ability to score 20 points a night. Averaging 8 points or whatever this kid did at Robert Morris ain't one of those guys.
He's in a few mock drafts out there that may not be your ESPNs and Yahoos. Tankathon has him #53 to the Warriors (Jefferson #31). Not a mock but Jeremy Woo from ESPN has Milan at #43 on his big board. NBA Draft Net has him at #29 to the Spurs. Actually ahead of Jefferson.
Yeah, I see that now. My mistake. I might have had his sophomore year numbers in my head. Or I could just be telling stories. I still stand by my thoughts though.
Not sure what to take from this other than you have to be good in the half court offense in 3x3.
