Decent numbers from 3, but for a juco, those are otherwise fairly pedestrian.  Compare to my pal Sai Tumalla who didn't even sniff the floor at ASU this year and who played at one of the top jucos last year.  (He's not really my pal but I wanted him to commit to us.)

Those are great #s. Jucos are there to get guys recruited so everyone plays a moderate amount of minutes. Add on he was only a freshman and those #s are even better. Athletic 6'7" forward that can shoot and rebound. I would guess he has a big year next year as a soph.

Remember Norm Hutch has a 5 star talent that took away from him scoring more in Kadeem Allen that signed with Arizona. I bet his numbers next year are better when he's "the man".

Also assume Terran leaves early he would be a good stop gap for the same position.

If he is 2015 doesn't that mean those are freshman numbers? If so, they are very strong numbers for a first year Juco!

OK, yeah, figured out those are freshman numbers.  That changes things a bit.

Good point as well.

 And 42% from 3? 

 

This is on 6 of 14 shooting...way too small of a sample size to really tell us anything.

 

I thought that part seemed too good to be true.  Still love what I'm seeing though.

OOOOOO MY GAWWWWWD

Holy Crap! That video is dirty! He is now #1 on my wish list for the 2015 class. Authority at the rim on both offense and defense. Bring more of this 'Dunk City' to Lincoln. He could be a nice option to take Petteway's spot when he leaves for the NBA.

I will throw an element of caution out into the dungeon. 90% of the shots that he is making in this video, he will not get in the Big Ten conference. It appears he is cheating back a bit and getting the benefit of others who are defending. He also appears to be a bit undisciplined...how will that play out on our current team and his future teammates?

Well the video is from HS and he still seemed to excel as a freshman at Hutch so I'm assuming he's making a good transition to the college game.

You may be very correct...it was simply an observation from that specific tape.

Not sure how he can be cheating back when he is swatting every other shot off of the backboard ;)

I see the swats as well...not trying to be an a**.  I am simply saying that often, he is hanging back towards half-court, perhaps it is due to the defense being played...again, it was an honest and humble observation from watching the video.

Defensive discipline and playing to the scheme can be taught. The raw athleticism and ability to make some of those dunks and blocks cannot. He was dunking better and more easily than anyone we have had in a long time. It's like if you took Pitchford's leaping ability and moved it up a few notches.
