Probably but a company is paying for name, image and likeness. The more the players plays and performs the more recognition which increases potential sales or views for the company. Isn’t that the bases for a company to pay for nil.
The only problem with getting both back is they play the same position. Donnie may want to be a small forward but he is not. As someone else said he lacks the foot speed to play outside as he wants. I think the preference for Sadiq is that not only did he improve towards the end of the year, but he played aggressive inside. Donnie has the talent and skill, but he has not shown an acceptance to develop his back to the basket game in the paint. Donnie shoots way too many fade aways near the rim instead of attacking the rim.
100%. It takes in most cases a veteran or a youngen whith a body, skills and attitude to come in cold and perform. Both Kiyan and
Donnie is not a good shooter. He just hangs around the perimeter because he too soft to play inside. He occasionally makes a three, but he’s not consistent at all and he needs time to get it off. His ball handling and passing is also well below average. He really doesn’t have a position that he can play well.
one of those takes on here you just go ooof
I think Sadiq has a good motor which Donnie just doesn’t have. Donnie has talent no doubt, he just seems to love the perimeter game…unfortunately, the perimeter game doesn’t love him back. Don’t get me started on what happened when he was doubled or what he thought was defense.
Sums up the world in 2026. Why should lack of information stop you from having an ironclad opinion on something?
GMac was also the primary focus of every defense during his Jr and Sr years, which impacted his shooting percentage.Bring it down to 33% on much higher volume?
GMac was a clutch 3pt shooter, but
He was a career 35% at Cuse,
and shot 34% & 33% as a Junior & Senior, on the highest volume of his career.

GMac can teach FT shooting all day tho-
Just shy of 89% for his career.
Now *that* is elite.
IMHO, their best player is a PG named Brandon Jennings. Hull is good. Jennings is outstanding.
I meant more so for his coaching abilities. A lot of guys had their best 3 point/Bring it down to 33% on much higher volume?

Just saw his agent is Ryan Odom’s son, so I’d be surprised if he isn’t going to UVA.
He seemed to shoot his best when sharing point guard duties like in his first 2 years when there were good ball handlers on the team and so he was able to play shooting guard more. His last 2 years here he played point guard much more which seemed to effect his 3 point shooting %. Billy Edelin only played in 4 games their 3rd/junior year before losing him totally his senior year.Bring it down to 33% on much higher volume?

Hate to disagree, but I don’t even think the two are close. I wouldn’t even want Jennings running the show here. We need a pg that’s just better than jennings. Off the bench, sure. Respect the opinion.
My first numbers were PBRs.
