Jervay Green is N

[PointGuard]

De'Quon Lake committed to AZ ST in March 2017 because they had playing time available.  At that time we had Jordy and Copeland.  We got Doby in April with the thought he would only play 5-10 Minutes.  I don't know if we were interested in him, but he probably wasn't interested in Nebraska because of playing time.

Thanks for the info. I dont remember the specifics of that time and obviously hindsight is 20/20. I just remember an IWCC signing with a P5 team and having a solid year on a good team.

It's a shame. He never really did look good in blue and white.

I'd love to hear what Norm thinks of his shooting form.  He form is damn near flawless from what I can see

 

Lot of good stuff going on in that jumper.  Looks very repeatable.  Compact stroke, not a lot of extra movement.  Very quick.  Gets good elevation.  Balanced.  Range.  NBA range.  Can shoot off the dribble.  This is the kind of player you can be guarding and feel like you're right in his face and he can elevate over top of you and bury a trey.  He does not need much separation to get that shot off.  And because he's a threat to drive and can also shoot from the dribble, defenders will have to respect the drive and can't cheat on defending the shot.  His stats show that his good shooting isn't an artifact of selective video editing.  This guy can score the ball in a variety of ways.  Good offensive pickup for us.

Sounds like he had quite the summer.  We beat out some good teams to land him.  He and Burke should be quite the tandem in getting to the basket.  Would like another sharpshooter to go with Allen if possible.

I don't see why this guy is not a star with NBA potential. If he can get back to shooting 35+% from three he has the athleticism and fundamental dribbling skills to be a star. It also looks like he has a long wingspan from just watching his arms in videos. I'm not confident about the wingspan part but I think he at least can be a serviceable to great defender. 

So what made him go to juco and why aren't the top dogs going after him?

I suspect he went juco because he couldn't qualify.

 

If he qualified, he'd be joining us now.

[big red22]

The only thing I don't like from his stat sheet is he had 3 disqualifications in 35 games

For an NBA comparison what about Victor Oladipo?

Quote from the OWN "Green is a 6-foot-3 slasher who can get the rim, and can bother defenders with a long wingspan." 

This kid may be the best prospect Miles has gotten besides maybe Roby. I'm gonna make a hot take and say that I expect green will be in the NBA. I am feeling especially confident after this quote "Fehringer talks with Green often about how former Indiana guard Victor Oladipo averaged 12 deflections per game as a senior." As I made this comparison before this article broke even though it was for totally different reasons  

And as a random piece of NBA trivia Robert Covington led the league in deflection rate this year and was nominated to first team all defense so I'm glad to see he is working on this.

RoCo is a solid all-around dude for the Sixers.

Yeah it seems like his biggest obstacle may just end up being himself. But at least we haven't heard anything like his juco grades are bad or anything.

Also looks like the games they're playing have a lot more possessions than the games he'll be playing here. I'm not overly concerned about that. He only had 3 other games where he picked up 4 fouls. Roby's played with a lot more foul trouble than that in his time here and is doing just fine.

Oh crap I was really confused by this and thought it meant he was ejected 3 times fouling out is not nearly as worrisome.

Same here... Thanks uneblinstu

I only hope he is as good as my favorite player from the Barry Collier era who seems to have been somewhat forgotten, namely Nate Johnson, who was also a JUCO transfer.

[Norm Peterson]

If he's a solid to good defender (wingspan bothering opposing players leading to deflections) then this is one hell of a pickup, because the kid can ball on the offensive end.

 

I'd like to see his 3-pt % get back up to where it was in his HS days.  He obviously has the ability to shoot accurately.  His freshman year might just have been a one-off situation from getting used to faster players on the defensive side and trying to force his game as opposed to letting it come to him.  We'll see if that doesn't improve quite a bit this season, just as it did for JPJr. last year.

[bleujay]

he really reminds me of marcus foster. he uses a lot of jump stops in that highlight video + the good leaping ability off two feet. looks like a great pickup.

[Huskerpapa]

...and Jacob writes that Jervay has "running back legs" and has not yet lifted weights.  Goodness, this kid may indeed be a difference maker in the making.

[aphilso1]

There seems to be a MAJOR disconnect between this guy's recruiting rankings and his skill level.  Looks like an absolute stud.  And my goodness, that shooting form is beautiful...
