I was standing in line for the Millard North / Millard West semifinal a couple years ago, and I was right in front of his mom. So, I had to ask the obvious question, had St. Thomas reached out to Saint Thomas? The answer was no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhcmatt Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 I don't claim to be a lawyer but St. Thomas signing Saint Thomas seems like a NIL loophole that would allow an university to directly compensate a player. basketballjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to watch full game tape/watch in person, which would have shown all the things that have held Lök back at the high-major level. millerhusker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of highlight film not being the best tool. I'm just saying, he seems to have certain tools that are shown in those highlights that make you wonder what the missing piece is. Would love to hear your evaluation? What are the missing pieces? Edited April 10, 2023 by basketballjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is much you can learn from it. For instance, I can get a pretty good impression of how athletic a guy is by watching his highlight videos. I can get a pretty good impression of how skilled he is. Or isn't. Just as an example, before he even started his freshman year in college, I said Mac McClung was overlooked as a HS kid. That Rivals just missed on him. I said he should have been at least a 4-star. Maybe even top 50. That was based on just highlight videos from high school. Here he is in the NBA.

Would love to hear your evaluation? What are the missing pieces? First time I saw him play was when he was an 8th grader playing up, I believe. Definitely caught my interest. Watched him play all the way through high school, both during the winter and the summer. Not strong enough and doesn't really have the mindset to play as a big, not skilled enough to player on the perimeter like he wants to. Jump shot still hasn't really developed after four years in college and he's not a strong finisher either. The length is intriguing and he's definitely put some impressive plays on tape when he's had space against lower level opponents, but it's not really something that translates to a play-to-play basis against good teams beyond putting up 21 and 10 against Nebraska-level high school competition.
