Hi, Long time fan since 80's, regular board reader and just started posting recently.

Comments on this board from people who seem knowledgeable about internal discussions of program suggested we have a chance landing a pg in the next week who would really help us in some areas we need but possibly frustrate us in others areas of need if he doesn't improve on certain aspects of his game.

Xaivian Lee from Princeton seems to fit that description to a tee.   He from Toronto, is 6ft4, averages

[TD]43.9%fg[/TD]
[TD]36.6%3pt[/TD]
[TD]78.9%ft[/TD]

[TD]5.5[/TD]

[TD]1.2steals[/TD]
[TD]2.2turn[/TD]
[TD][/TD]

[TD]16.9pts[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

So has good size for PG, pretty good 3pt% with high volume, has a bunch of assists, is great at rebounding for a guard, has tournament experience and is averaging almost 17pts a game.
 
But his defense, some people claim, is so-so and also, they say, his finishing could use some work.

All of this is described in much more detail in this article describing his NBA draft status.

Some also have said he values getting his degree from Princeton but perhaps being closer to his home in Toronto, getting more exposure in hopes of getting into 1st round of draft and exposure to different coaching staffs & schemes so he can continue to develop in his weaker areas might make his more open to the idea in 2025 as opposed to 2024. Of course a nice NIL package as well could also be a swaying factor.

Just curious if this is our next PG and if so, what everyone would think of it if we somehow managed to land him in the next week or so?
