I think that we all have differing thoughts on the following issue, which makes us all view PG recruiting options, fallbacks differently.
How many years will Reece!! stay at UVa:
- 3 (will leave after this coming year)
- 4
- 5

Tbh, Iām torn between 4 and 5. I think 4 is most likely, but I view the likelihood of 5 as pretty high.

d@mn I didnāt really consider a 5th year option but your one line of text actually makes me think itās possible. Honestly it could be his best bet.

The concern is that the only reason Reece would be here for a fifth year is that he shoots <35% from 3 for both of the next two seasons.

I think thatās oversimplifying the situation. Iām not sure that Reece shooting above 35% from deep guarantees him a draftable NBA prospect. Certainly helps a ton but my initial thought is heās going to need more than that.

- congrats on being the 666th post in this cursed thread. You took the burden from me!
- agree - I think itās more like ability to be a primary scorer, at volume (though 35%+ will help)

It may reflect in the percentage but probably more in the volume, but he has to improve his release pretty significantly to have a shot in the NBA IMO. His release is pretty slow and deliberate, and the pro game is too fast for that. Even the college game is too fast, and his improved percentage has to at least in part be facilitated by defenders playing way off him. As his percentage improves, theyāre gonna be on him more closely and heāll need a much quicker release.

Certainly hope Reece is only here 4 years. Something has gone wrong if heās using the bonus year.

Hard disagree from me on that one. All he really needs to do is have the 3pt numbers jump up (change nothing else) and heās essentially an exact copy of Deuce Mcbride, who went 36th in 2021 draft after having improving his shooting. I would actually be willing to bet that that will be his comp.

Usage rates are pretty different, so thatās where the volume/primary scorer comments come in.

Theyāre not close on usage. Deuce never approached 20 from above it, and Reece never approached it from below it.
Reece hasnāt proved he can be a secondary scorer, never mind primary.

Thatās fair. Heāll get to 20 this year I think. In the last 5 games of last year he was at 19.52

I think Iām a maybe on that one. The moving average on his usage was remarkably flat last seasonā¦the 5-game avg had some ups and down but no consistent trend: T-Rank Player Stats - Customizable College Basketball Tempo Free Stats - T-Rank
Torvik projects him at a shade over 18%, which feels realistic to me.

Oh I will fully admit Iām somewhat āwishcastingā. Mainly because I just think it would be a crime not to fully give Reece the keys this year.
