I'm of the opinion that our evaluation wasn't that far off and that he's going to turn out to be a good player.
Late start, new team, new country, the Wagler curveball. I wonder if he just overwhelmed.
Of course he'll be weighing foreign opportunities as well.
We need a strategy for all 5 star scenarios. Team work, makes the dream work. Add football into this collaboration as well.
I agree. I still think he can play well in HM basketball. He is going to need an offensive system that plays more to his strengths and a coach that puts the ball in his hands. Between Keaton and Kylan, there just wasn’t much court time left for him. We saw a few flashes of his offense talent, but his defense earned him a short leash. He never looked comfortable out there for us.
If we ever struggled getting good looks, he might have been able to overcome his shortcomings with his offensive prowess, but we never struggled to get good shots. (Occasionally to make them…)
There was never a reason to sacrifice defense for what he brought on offense, but there are plenty of other teams with the opposite problem.
The Wagler curveball effected Petro, Boswell and Drej. All of their roles did a 180.
