How does Verge compare with Glynn Watson his senior year?

I’ll never forget when Watson went toe to toe with Lonzo Ball & UCLA…!

This is a comparison against Watson as a senior vs Verge's last year at ASU.  This may not be a fair comparison because one is a Sr, and the other is not.  (I am heading off the Jr. comments!).    To Miller's point,  I will say Verge will do better in Hoiberg's offense than what he did at ASU, but the same can be said for Watson.

 

Watson is more efficient from both a fg and 3pt fg %.  

Verge is the better FT shooter.  

Watson wins the assist to turnover margin. 

Verge has more assists per game but also more turnovers by a big margin.

Everything else is fairly close one way or another. 

 

If they both were here, at this point I would have Watson starting as I think he values the ball better but Verge would be a fantastic guy off the bench.  I think Verge is more of a threat athletically but Watson has the edge due to his efficiency and decisions.  Verge as a Sr has a great chance to excel this year and could prove me wrong.  He may be the better player in this offense and by conference play I could be swapping the two?  It all depends upon if Verge makes sound decisions.   I think both are great players.

 

Hoiberg talks about making the simple plays which translates to efficiency.

Glynn and Alonzo do not play PG the same way.  So they are not comparable.   When someone asked me who Alonzo played like, I said Cam Mack on figurative steroids.  Alonzo appears much better; especially a much better shooter, yet they play the game similarly. 

Skills are on steroids - but I think Mack is the better athlete and had the better body.

Verge was a senior last year. This is an extra year.

Prairie View has him still on their 2021 roster.

Interesting...  Guess that idea to transfer again this past year didn't work out like he had hoped!
