I like his game. Plays hard. Loves to guard the other teams best guy. He is not ready yet. 30% from three… needs to shoot better.. scores a lot of points in the paint backing down guards uses a jump hook real nice and his left as well., backing down Summit guards methodically ain’t going to happen in the BIG 10… he is not backing down a Hoggard or Bufkin type guard’s different strength and athleticism… UST will let him go one on one and he will dribble 4-5 times backing his guy… don’t see that happening at the same rate.. Unselfish, good passer, good free throw shooter. Rumor has been there since November… should be interesting to see what happens.. IF he does move on it will also be interesting to see how he scores currently can translate to Power 5 ball
It's also one of those things that's easy to speculate on without any substance. He's a freshman tearing it up at a lower level at a school that can't even go to the tournament. I know nothing about him as a person/background, but yeah, that makes sense that he MIGHT look to go elsewhere.
It's like saying "a little birdie told me that the Colts will be drafting a Young or Stroud in the draft". Yep, it makes perfect sense. It's essentially the Doogie version of rumors.
That said, there could absolutely be some fuel for this and I agree with you that he should push it another season. Add another season of being "the man" at a lower level and he could end up at UK, Duke, etc.
But you brought up a good point, his style would absolutely need to change. He bullies people by often being the best athlete on the court. That won't be the case at an upper level. But I also think his shooting improves at a higher level because a higher percentage of his shots will be off of ball movement. Right now, he shoots the ball quite a bit off the bounce.
But we'll see. I thought he was a good player at the beginning of the year but he has already grown leaps and bounds.
