Southerland only got 3 rebounds a game as a junior and 5 as a senior. Shumpert was a better rebounder than that.  But Southerland had real athleticism, like Chris does.

With Choppa, I understand what you're saying, but I'm not going to compare him to Dion, at least not yet.  Choppa doesn't have a strong handle yet, and neither did Scoop at the beginning. Choppa can't drive like Dion. Scoop's dribble was kind of high, and he was in love with his 3 point shot - a similarity to me. Similar build too (although Scoop got a little thick in the middle over time ...). I might have also said Jalen Carey, but Choppa will be a much better shooter.

Sure, I'll give you Chukwu instead of McNeil.  Good call.  I was trying to think of an offensively challenged C who could swat a lot of shots.

John Gillon gave us 5.4 assists a game, one of our most productive PGs in the last 10 years, so I disagree with you there that he wasn't a facilitator.  The team may have lost a lot of games early to derail their season before it really got momentum.  Carlos made an average of 33% from three these past 2 years, so don't write him off as a shooter just yet.

The Westry comp was intended to be joking - the mystery man who appears then disappears (Edelin) or who never suits up for us at all (Cotton).
