And a starter from our elite 8 team. I think Ty’s return is being very undervalued!

Not to get everyone too excited about the possibility of Ian Jackson (but hey, this is what the board is for), the most exciting thing in my mind is he was just scratching the surface last year in a fairly limited role.

A few things stand out:
Iso: He scored 1.12 ppp on iso's which is already 91st percentile - as a freshman, you can just give him the ball and get out of the way
Corner Threes: He shot 50% on corner threes - that's not a misprint - it was 18% of his shots - I would run that play every time
Catch and Shoot threes: He shot 41% on catch and shoot threes

He's already an elite shooter, can get to the rim and finished well at the rim even as a freshman. Being used in the right offense and not having Hubert Davis as your coach will do wonders for this kid. I think he's a 18-20 point scorer and can be an alpha scorer in an offense next year and do it efficiently. It's like having Will back for another year - I think it would be very similar in impact

SC Derby is our new pipeline. A lot of KJ to his game.

He looks faster than KJ but not as physically strong. He moves pretty fast with the ball in the open court.

I saw when I searched that he declared for the draft and withdrew in 2024. How good is this kid? Looks fast with the ball but not a high flier but a lot if good point guards historically are fast but dont dunk much. Love that he was 41% from three this season. If he can distribute the rock at 6"5" that would be a nice get.
