Even if that were somehow true, a guy who averaged 22 points on 18 shots for the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks would be a 12th man at best.

Well, I wasn’t too far off…

Was recently on campus, Tennessee looking to add him.

Is the IBSL a highly competitive league?

Their highest level, his teammates were a bunch of 23+ guys who played American college ball

He is also 23 haha. But yeah league features guys like Bryce Brown, Jared Harper, Chris Silva, Justin McKoy, Marcus Carr, etc

That’s ok, he could still play 4/5 years and be younger than Chad Baker Mazara was as a sophomore.

Looks like a guy that needs the ball in his hands. Scorer that attacks the basket. Not really much of a shooter altho can hit open ones when given time and space

Over 37% on close to 5 a game

Yeah, I looked at the numbers first and was disappointed by it just being set shots that took a bit to get off when watching the highlights. Shot 29% from deep on same numbers of attempts year prior fwiw

 

[cncchris33]

Most excited about his ability to handle the ball with both hands and get to the basket. Excellent FT shooter who could draw a lot of fouls.

 

[Chaz-Vol]

Over 37% on close to 5 a game

Seems like he improved his efficiency quite a bit based on FT shooting and 3 point percentage. Best case could be a poor man Vescovi who maybe not most athletic guy but hustles especially on defense.

We need a SG

Plus one…. Let’s go get this guy

This would be great imo! Wonder his chances of being approved to play?

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

So he'd be a 23 year old freshman?

 

[knoxvol52]

NOt uncommon for over seas guys that come to College to play basketball. Nadav Henefeld was a 21 year old freshman at UCONN in the late 80's.

[StPeteVFL]

what are his stats in this league compared to some of the American college players who started in power 5?

Works for me. Kid looks like one of those players who just have a crazy knack for getting to the rim and making the shot no matter how good the defense is. Just crafty looking and physical. I'll take it.

 

[Vol49er]

I would love the addition of this guy, particularly at this point considering the options out there. I assume the ncaa will find a way to screw us and him though if he wants to come to UT

 

[Namorto1]

Would be a mature, physical combo guard who could backup at PG as well. Not what I expected but I'd take him.

 

[VolNGA1]

So where does the expansion of rosters to 15 stand? I don't recall this coming up in the latest flurry of rulings/discussions.
