But what if he takes formula?

Not available

But what if he takes formula?

European formula is better than domestic.

man they can (will?) be such a dynamic duo

 

[OrangeDW]

In todays NBA, bigs need to be able to make jump shots. Jessie has not proved he can make anything but a layup.

They need to be able to hit jumpers: or be able to switch and guard on the perimeter: or be elite at protecting the rim.

I’m trying hard to think of a center in the NBA who doesn’t fit at least one of those things.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

That last one is very hard to do

Really good profile. Seems like a mature young man from a great family.

 

[Dave]

One has to love this young man! High character addition.

This kid has what it takes to be great -- talent, tools, AND work ethic.

He's going to kill it here. Love this kid's feel for the game. Can't think of a comparable player, in terms of style, that we've ever had.

He has a great pace to his game. He seems able to get anywhere on the court he wants. I hope that carries over to this level of basketball. I think it will, because some guys just have that skill.

just feels like he's ready for the brightest lights, too - kind of similar to the last great freshman G we had - we'll find for sure soon enough though!

Mintz is the kind of kid that goes to Duke that is an elite talent, with an awesome family that is dedicated and hard working that we only hate because of the uniform but would love in Orange.

Yeah, we really, really lucked out swinging him here.

Yeah his game isn't Tyler Ennis but as far as the part about ready to roll... I'd say good comparison.

The non-SU guy I keep thinking of is Monta Ellis. Dynamic scorer, slighter frame.

Did Ellis ever run the point too? Couldn't remember...

Mintz and Gmac in the gym together non-stop. Will be great.

The great pace aspect to his game sounds like Tyler Ennis and maybe a little Edelin (obviously with a better outside shot).

Lawrence Moten was another great “pace to his game” guy.

After Joseph and Carey, please let all this “ready from day 1, pace to his game, knows how to play, super skilled” stuff pan out. We’re due.

This player is an Oak Hill starter as a guard, Smith sends them to college ready to play.
That's why they have always played the best teams.
They are going to miss him as a coach.

Yeah I had mentioned similar before. He has built that thing into a monster though. Love to keep that pipeline going. It's been extremely good for us.
