Also heās shooting 70% at the rim with only 37% of the makes being assisted. Doesnāt turn it over. Higher usage than Maliq Brown for example (and less reliant on assists), while still being relatively efficient. He is kinda a 5 though on offense (but so is Maliq in my opinion).
Man, excuse my language but its fucking unreal how big the gap is in the guard play between us and Kentucky. Unreal and depressing given how important guards are to march madness and to what tony runs offensively.
Bliss: wildcard but ankle surgery
McKneely: can only shoot threes really.
Gertrude: athletic af but canāt shoot
Rohde and dante: Rohde and dante.
We really need Aiden Mahaney, Trent Perry, or another high level guard.
Itās both. They have a path that maintains college eligibility (scholarships, no salary) and a path that is paid for guys going straight to pros (like what the Thompson twins did).
In Year 1, all of Overtimeās players (most of them still in high school) signed professional contracts and were paid handsomely, thus forfeiting their NCAA eligibility. Thanks in part to the passage of NIL legislation, which allows college athletes to profit from their own personal brand, Year 2 has brought a second option for OTE players. Now, they can either take the guaranteed money and be pros or sign as scholarship students of the leagueās in-house academy, where educational expenses are covered and theyāre free to pursue NIL deals to earn income, thus maintaining NCAA eligibility.
