Gimme Curbelo any day. We need the swagger.

If you think Joe Girard makes bad mistakes with the ball, you haven't seen this guy play yet. Pass.

 

[sutomcat]

In other words, he’s basically what we already have with Symir

Symir never led a P5 conference in assists but I think if he was allowed to play 35 mph, he might be able to do it. Can Symir find a way to average 13 ppg? If so and if his turnovers and shooting efficiency is good, he would be one of the top PGs on the conference.

I have seen enough of his defense to be convinced he would be very good for us there.

Sure have. He had a weird year. More than worth the risk.

Shaq's oldest son, Shareef, is portaling. Already left UCLA and now LSU...

Shareef don't like it.

There are a lot of competent point guards available in the portal. Mintz or Skyy would be great, but the Murray State transfer and Curbelo (though he at times makes silly plays) can fill the void.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Curbelo is too similar to Symir. If we are going to go after a PG it makes sense to go after someone who can make a jump shot.

Let’s go Brandon! Brandon Murray has entered the portal. Played with Bennie Williams. Would make us forget about Judah.

The shooting guard from LSU?

 

[the villager]

Yes. Six five could play 2 or 3 .

That would be great but what if we can't find one? The next best option is one who cannot shoot but knows his limits, plays within himself and makes up for the non shooting by running the team well and knows how and where to get teammates the ball. We had that with Sims, and on a higher winning level, Rondo provided that for the Celtics.

The game looks nothing like it did 25 years ago and Rondo was just about the only non shooter on those Celtic teams. We are really going to struggle to score if we can't find some shot makers next year.

Great athlete, funky (Devo like) outside shot (33-34% from three, not that bad). He's got some handles and he can get up. And, like you said, he's played with Benny. I think he would be a definite talent and athletic upgrade. But, you know JB won't play him in front of Joe and there won't be many minutes there. If we have three spots, he would be a great addition, although, as he would be a sophomore, he would not help with roster imbalance. Not a huge concern, because there is always attrition. But, we need a PG and possibly a C, those positions should be the focus.

Yeah, it's easier to hide a non-shooter with three HOFers. SU would not have anything close to that luxury.

yikes. not sure how Keatts hangs on to his job at this point

 

[AZOrange]

Yes. Six five could play 2 or 3 .

Isn’t he aiming a little higher in the SEC?

 

[Orangezoo]

Next year could be a valley for UConn... I could see Curbelo as a UConn target.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Seems weird.

 

[Cuse_bball]

Keeshawn Barthelemy could be one to watch transferring from Colorado. Big guard from Montreal. Would make a ton of sense next to joe.

 

[jdubs30]

Didn’t play at all this year. Pass first PG who’s from Philly

6'-2" point guard?

We didn't recruit him in the 2019 class so prolly not on our radar?


Maybe going to play for Martin at UMASS?

Gtown with the LSU assistant that recruited him to LSU.

Forgot he went there thanks!
