Only that he has the potential to develop into the type of player Bazley is today. I’m not saying that potential will be realized. No guarantees.
You're trying to have it both ways, but whatever.Ohh, so youre saying that when braswell is a finished product, he will be better than a hs senior who hasnt been through a real s&c program. Thats an odd way to look at it but i get the logic considering baz wouldve only been with us one year.
Last year Grant was 54% from the floor and 30% from 3; the NBA 3 vs NBA defenders. Lets not get carried away trying to compare Grant to a 6'8" HS player shooting over shorter and very pedestrian competition using a much smaller 3 point line.Ya actually surprised no ones brought that up yet. Still way more shooting ability that grant will never possess
I stand by the fact that rober Braswell is a better shooter the grantLast year Grant was 54% from the floor and 30% from 3; the NBA 3 vs NBA defenders.

I agree with you but it doesn’t mean he can’t be as good as Bazley down the road. Rankings don’t mean everything. They’re typically right but not always.Bazley could be potentially be a lottery pick next year. Braswell was a 2/3 star recruit no one heard of 3 weeks ago.
I love the pickup this late into the cycle and his potential as well; but to say he can be as good as Bazley in 3 years? You could definitely say he’ll help us more in 3 years than Bazley would though
Why can’t we have nice things.
This kid is needed depth.
Nobody should be saying anything but good job.
He isn’t going to be a star in the next couple of years and if he is then we hit the lottery.
Our program needs more 4 year depth kids and this kid fits that build.
End of debate.
no one knew who this guy was a few weeks ago. but now we go him, so it is great. LOL

Heard anything about the other? Wonder if there will be another visit or if he’s ready to make a decision shortly...
He looks strikingly similar to Dave chapelle
interesting player comparos, but the real comparo should be, will he help us more next season than matt would have?
bras gives us an outside threat, matt did not.
bras will run the floor better.
matt was ok in the zone, if bras can match that he will get some minutes, if not he sits for a year to learn.
bras is a better ball handler.
i will give rebounding edge to matt for next season because he is stronger.
bras is a better passer.
so my bottom line is that bras has more upside and will be much better on o compared to matt.
the d, however, remains to be seen for next season.

This.Braswell on the team is the difference between being on probation and being finished with probation.
The odds are high that he will be a 3-4 yr player. He is thin, but skilled. He has lots to work on, but when you are on probation, you don't have enough scholarships that you can afford to take a player like this and develop him.
Now that probation is essentially over, you can afford to take the talent and develop him. These are the kinds of players that smooth out ups and downs in the program. If he is patient enough, I predict that he will be a high impact player as a senior, and possibly as a junior as well. He could be a starter, or key 6th man, depending on the recruits that come in. Despite what many of you say, JB is an elite developer of players. Amongst the best in the business. They improve because of him, not despite him. As long as they listen to him.
As I have said countless times on this board, losing the ability to offer scholarships to these types of players is what probation is designed to do. The loss of opportunity to them is the primary impact. This leaves the program with a razor thin margin to maintain relevancy. If you miss on just 1-2 kids, your program will slide. These kids give you the ability to miss (as all coaches will) sometimes.
This is what has happened to SU. Despite the common theme amongst a certain group of people on the board. You need perfection to stay elite, and no one is perfect. But hey, you keep up the theme that JB has lost it. You keep up the theme that the assistants suck.
SU is unfettered again, they will be back, and now be able to do some damage to the ACC.

No, I’m not. Not in any way, shape, or form. That’s what you’re inferring, despite the fact that I’ve gone out of my way to qualify my point repeatedly.You are insinuating one replaces the other and thats just not accurate. Kid is a nice pickup though.
