It’s funny that this guy shouldn’t be relied on, yet we are relying on Payne / Carrington / *Christie / JOJ - all three freshmen last year would probably see around the same time as this guy last year at Providence. Heck Carrington doesn’t make that roster and JOJ probably doesn’t play a minute as he is a weird tweener (and I like JOJ, but he isn’t a true SF with his offensive game and he is too small for a PF).
If this guy was on the Gophers last year he may have averaged 11.5 pts, 4.5 Rebs, 3.2 ast per game while shooting 41% on treys and 80%+ at the stripe
-i am not relying on Carrington at all....i dont love his game
-i hope Christie can take the reins and run with the SG spot. so yes i am relying/hoping on him.
-JOJ proved last year he can play in the big ten....but in my opinon, in a perfect world, we can find a big wing/3rd guard so JOJ can back up both the 3 & 4 spots as needed....
-yes i am relying on Payne.....but we need a solid back up center behind him as his foul trouble and free throw shooting are going to hold him back from playing a full slate of minutes
Pierre very well could have put up those stats with us last year. i think he would be a very very solid get. do i hope we would be able to get maybe a higher end PG to pair with him? for sure i do.
would i take lets say....Mitchel, Pierre combo....for sure
would i take a Pierre, 2nd guard combo....for sure....
so long story short....pierre would be a great get for Ben and i hope the relationship they built matters now.....
