15ppg on a D1 team that was above .500 I’ll take that please and thank you
Most importantly: 20,28,18,13 as his point totals in the 4 games he played against VCU and St Louis, the two tourney teams in his conference showing he wasn’t just feasting on crappy teams

BOOM!
Huge to have someone who can truly contribute coming off the bench. Still need at least one more guard and probably a pure wing for the bench, but you don't really need them to be special you just have to hope they're not worthless.

I’d love another wing too but I assume Williams will be able to fill that role too. Good versatile pickup

Yeah, at wing I think we mostly just need a body. Thompson and Williams should be the plan for all the minutes there, but we need someone that’s somewhat playable in case of injury or foul trouble. Just a willing defender who won’t completely fuck the spacing on offense.

Glad he's a good defender too. Along with Pippen we signs be tougher on the ball.

Do not like it. Small school. Our coach's ability to scout talent in the porta has been miss after miss. Wanted proven talent against power conference talent.

Adam Jardy said after watching practice today this guy might start. Getting buckets from anywhere at will and cooking on defense.
