PF preference poll time! Assume the following players have been equally impactful statistically at their previous stops (i.e. there’s isn’t one that’s obviously better or more talented overall, you’re choosing for fit here). Who do you want:

  • Athletic interior finisher (6’8-6’10"): scores exclusively at rim and off assists
  • Stretch big man (6’8-6’10"): scores mostly from 2, but can make a pick-and-pop 3, open spot-ups
  • Off-ball shooting wing (6’6-6’8"): scores off movement, good from 3, but most makes are assisted
  • Shot creating wing (6’6-6’8"): average from 3 but scores at each level, can create own shot

Stats-y descriptions (trying to make it less of a stats-interpreting test):

Athletic interior finisher: shoots 70% at the rim, 80% of shots are at the rim and assisted

Stretch big man: shoots 38% from 3, 55% from 2, 30% of shots from 3, mostly assisted

Off-ball shooting wing: shoots 40% from 3, 55-60% from 2, 70% of makes are assisted

Shot creating wing: 35% of shots from 3 (shoots 33% there), shoots 50-55% from 2, 80% of 2PMs are unassisted

Players that inspired the role (these are examples of the best versions of the role):

Athletic interior finisher: Maliq Brown (Cuse), Anton Watson (Zags), Joel Scott (CSU)

Stretch big man: Andrew Carr (Wake), Eric Dixon (Nova)

Off-ball shooting wing: Alex Karaban (UConn), Jalen Bridges (Baylor)

Shot creating wing: Marcus Domask (Illinois), Harrison Ingram (UNC)

How far does Kansas State drop in the college rankings after this move?

Dug was done to K State at least a week or so ago. $750K supposedly. That’s the thing with a lot of transfers…by the time it’s news it’s really old news.

@HoozGotNext Thoughts on Zackery as a UVa target?

1 Like

I’d be surprised if UVA doesn’t talk to Zackery. They are with every good PG haha I suspect he’ll want to leave the ACC though. This is one of those awkward grad transfer moves where he had a good experience there and probably doesn’t want to flip over to a direct competitor. Little different from a strained situation, where guys love the idea of playing against their old team.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Even worse when you get COVID during the ACCT and then leave for a top-3 rival….

Wow. Surprised by this one. Good pickup for them. Really would like some of these bottom ACC teams to get their s**t together and help our NET lol

Huge get, I was expecting him to go somewhere more steady in need of a wing but great start to portal recruiting for Kelsey

Not a surprise given what Dook has coming in at the 5.
