Strong lefty. I like. Seems our staff likes lefties too.

If there was even a 1% chance we pursue Whitney it’s gotta be zero now with Alan leaving, right? There’s no way we take a guard/wing who can’t shoot.
He is working on his shot and Gentry has already been raved about Improving others shots since arriving...I think there is a very strong chance we get Whitney added to our roster. For what he may not be (Griffin 40% shooting) he is something we don't have alot of (off the charts athleticism/rebounding capability). I think Whitney would be suited for BU and the staff to work with in order to get to the league.
Not trying to discredit Gentry but have you looked at the 3 pt percentages?
I would think there is a 0% chance we pass on an athlete of Whitney's caliber, given we have that opportunity. If his shooting doesn't improve, I think he would hold his own defensively at the 4 and use his quickness to get to the bucket on offense. (We've certainly had worse options at that position in recent years) Worst case scenario, he is a more athletic Kipper Nichols. If the shots start falling he could become one of the best players in the league. Sign me up.If there was even a 1% chance we pursue Whitney it’s gotta be zero now with Alan leaving, right?

Curbelo and Hawkins both averaged over 6 assists/game.Iowa was 5th in the nation in offensive production. They had zero great athletes, but the did have many good shooters and a monster in the middle. We have a monster in the middle, some decent athletes but we need shooters and better passing.
our "monster in the middle" cant hit 3s from the top of the key though.Iowa was 5th in the nation in offensive production.

Looks like it to me. Very strong and a nice shot, plus solid handles. Count me in on him.Lefty Rayvonte Rice?
I was high on Feliz both because he was the No. 1 JUCO PG and because of his extensive international experience.I have to say, your recollection is much different than mine. I recall lots of people being high on him, not just for the JUCO rating but also for the high school rating which was very high.
As always, there are a people who have a different opinion, but I think the people down on Feliz were few and far between.
Nope, but he can block the shot of the guy who can make outside shots and win the game!our "monster in the middle" cant hit 3s from the top of the key though.
We don't need him toour "monster in the middle" cant hit 3s from the top of the key though.
You are right but i dont want a 290 lb beast jacking up a 3 feed the beast down lowour "monster in the middle" cant hit 3s from the top of the key though.
Yo, Kofi missed only one 3 pointer over the entire season.our "monster in the middle" cant hit 3s from the top of the key though.
Uhhhhhhh we were a terrible shooting team this year and our best shooter actually regressed. Whitney was unplayable last year and it was in part because of his defense.He is working on his shot and Gentry has already been raved about improving others shots since arriving...I think there is a very strong chance we get Whitney added to our roster.

"Unplayable" seems like a stretch. He averaged over 12 minutes a game. I don't think there was a game where he didn't see the floor. Being relegated to the bench on a top 10 team doesn't make you "unplayable". Nearly all freshmen struggle defensively to some degree. UK just had too many non-shooters on the floor. Most teams don't have enough elite athletes to bench a guy with Whitney's ceiling. Most programs would suffer through the growing pains, in hopes of him turning things around. UK is not most teams. They had legit National title aspirations, and will have no trouble replacing him with another NBA prospect.Uhhhhhhh we were a terrible shooting team this year and our best shooter actually regressed.

He averaged over 12 minutes a game because Cal gave him the opportunity to play big minutes at the beginning of the season. Look up his game logs. He got at least 20 minutes per game the first 4 games of the year to inflate his numbers. In conference play he averaged under 7 minutes a game including playing a total of 4 minutes in his last two games before he quit on his team. He also scored a total of 3 points points throughout conference play in an incredibly weak SEC. Unplayable wasn’t a stretch."Unplayable" seems like a stretch. He averaged over 12 minutes a game.
