It's more the matter of if he's serviceable in the place of Roby or Copeland and how do we respond against the teams with traditional centers or even PFs. Outscoring the other team tends to be a sound strategy though. Quote

I might prefer this fella as well as he seems to be a much better rebounder. Agree on the lack of the body. Id just assume see Heimann get experience as opposed to McVeigh Quote

We don't know anything about this juco kid. I guess we are all just hoping for the best. It would seem to be the best for Heimann if Dedoch shows up so he can redshirt. Physically I can see similarities with Ubel and think of what he could have been with one move year at Nebraska. You can't change the past so Jack is no longer an option. If this is the best we can do at this time then let's roll the dice and see if he can help. Coaches kid 1 Quote
aphilso1 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Things I like about Chan: 1. He has some size 2. He's immediately eligible and better than a second unused schollie 3. He can score 4. He's immediately eligible and better than a second unused schollie 5. He has three years of eligibilty 6. He's immediately eligible and better than a second unused schollie 7. He gained experience as "the guy" on a decent juco team, which could be useful a year from now 8. He's immediately eligible and better than a second unused schollie royalfan, Silverbacked1, Vinny and 6 others 1 8 Quote
Norm Peterson Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 Let’s be honest. This kid is an insurance policy in the event Isaiah picks up a second foul in the first half. He’s not a post player. He has all the size of a Big Ten wing. But he is long and appears to have some tools in his arsenal that make him serviceable. Aaaaand ... ”He’s immediately available and better than a second unused schollie.” (Hat tip @aphilso1) Silverbacked1 and aphilso1 1 1 Quote
TourneyBound Posted August 9, 2018 Report Posted August 9, 2018 kind of figured we would hear something by now, maybe we didn't offer. Quote

Aaaaand ... ”He’s immediately available and better than a second unused schollie.” (Hat tip @aphilso1) If he doesn't fill in for foul trouble at center then he can play PF/ the 4 and to me that's a more natural position for him. He should be able to guard the four though I don't know. I also actually like the fact that he has few blocked shots. IMO blocked shots and even worse attempted blocked shots that are altered turn into offensive rebounds and easy lay-ups 50% of the time. To me he is a very talented offensively and would be very valuable offensively. Reminds me a bit of Derick Pardon. Defensively I'm not so confident because like all of you have nothing to go off of but numbers. Quote

You have to be flexible within your system but if you have no system you have no direction. To try to change who you are is a sign of desperation and we are a long way from needing to be desperate. And I stick with my first statement, we will not play more zone than man this year. Quote
