6' 7" 207 lbs. sophomore G/F Desmond Claude seems like a good kid, a good athlete, with two years of experience at Xavier. He averaged 16.6/4.2/3.2 last season; those are very good numbers. But as noted, Claude shot only 23.9% on 3s this past season! Indy has explained that Claude's shooting elbow was injured last season, that he played through the injury, and that he's subsequently had a medical procedure on that elbow. That makes me think that he is worth taking a chance on as a potential transfer to Illinois. But Claude only shot 29.3% on 3s the previous season (22-23) for Xavier when his elbow was probably not injured. So we should probably not expect him to fill the scoring void left by TSJ departing, much less the scoring of Marcus Domask. I'm also assuming that Claude would need to be guaranteed a starting position (SG? SF?) in order to transfer to Illinois.
