Also saw he averaged 3 TO's a game, don't think that's too good based on his assist average.

There’s different kinds of turnovers. Bad shots can be worse than turnovers as can live ball turnovers. To me, bad shots can be worse than turnover. It can lead to a lot of bad things.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Just don't look at anyone else we've been connected to so far lol

Guess I should have phrased that different then lol. How about is that a good assist to TO ratio?

 

[Orangezoo]

I don’t think the concerns are misplaced, he’s not really a PG… at least, not with those awful turnover stats and bare bones assist numbers.

Which is why I was talking about all the games having watched vs stats… I want the best option too but this isn’t a bad option at all either.

Boogie Fland is going to be a good player, but would we want a true freshman running the point? There was one starting freshman in the Final Four this year. The game today is changing. It’s hard to win big with freshman.

 

[Orangezoo]

If the goal is a 1-1 assist to turnover guy then just go with JJ

JJ is not Leffew and it’s easy to see it on tape.

He's def got talent, but I'd be scared that it's a Judah redux (and I'm not trying to slam Judah). What I mean is what you're likely alluding to -- he's going to be growing/learning on the fly and doing that while trying to position himself for the draft while carrying the load of a lead guard with experienced players is a lot.

Again, kid seems talented. I'm torn. Can't see a portal PG that will be everything we need, but I'm terrified of a frosh just not being ready for the grind and responsibility. Maybe I'm just a cynic.

I would probably still roll the dice on him over the guys we've been connected to in the portal. But yes, getting a good, experienced PG would be perfect.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're just a skeptic.

We need leadership more than anything. A freshman could be a leader, but it’s rare. He’s obviously super talented.

Highly doubt Boogie wears Orange. But if somehow he ended up here you throw him out there at PG and let him run. That’s a first class problem.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

You make it sound like it’s their job and they have more invested in it than we do.

Sorry. Didn’t mean to.

We don't win the title without the legit PG, who was Billy E.

We saw what happened after he left. GMac was a serviceable PG, but he wasn't on Billy E's level (as a PG, not other attributes)

"Old school" point guard, "combo" guard, whatever. Can you facilitate offense by actually running set plays for others? Do you have the ability to also score for yourself? Can you shoot at a reasonable clip?

This isn't hard for me.

Who’s this guy and what’s he know lol

Doesn’t matter who he is, he’s right. National championship is tonight, Calipari is looking to move, we’ve been involved with a bunch of people, a bunch more will enter the portal, gotta let it play out!

Looks like a couple of my seventh graders.

If The Transfer Portal was a dance club, this song would endlessly play on repeat.

Added a table pulling in each guy's transfer rankings from a few different sources and averaging them together in addition to the stats that I pulled from their performances against top 150 KenPom teams. Link below, but if you don't want to bother clicking through, the average rankings for guys we're losing/guys we've reached out to (including Gayle but I can't remember if we've reached out or if it was just speculation):

15. Malik Mack
40. Darlinstone Dubar
47. Roddy Gayle
84. Eddie Lampkin
99. Dakota Leffew
104. Jyare Davis
113. Maliq Brown
117. Quadir Copeland
158. Jaquan Carlos

I know we need a center so hence Lampkin, but man people are sleeping on Maliq. I'd have him first on this list regardless of position.

I had a feeling if he didn't go NBA he was going to get out of Duke. Didn't look like he was happy at times there, very talented young man.
