Matej Kavas is N

Big Ten player comp: Nathan Taphorn

Would come off the bench and annoy the crap out of you, because all he did was shoot threes and it seemed like he never missed. 6'8", high release and didn't need much, if any, space to get his shot off. Stand-still, spot up shooter. 47% from downtown for Northwestern's tournament team. 

As much as I hate to say it, I think a great comp is Ethan Wragge.  He played for the wrong team but that kid could shoot (also 47% from three his senior year)

The problem with this comp is Wragge had 20-25 pounds on him.

Yeah Wragge had a wide base, set good screens and was a lethal pick and pop “big”. I could be wrong but I remember him essentially being their 5 man, with Doug at the 4. I could see their production and stats being similar though 

Really thought he would be a better version of mcveigh but looks like he might be a worse version. Probably shoulda used this scholarship to keep heiman the way it looks 

Might have seen the last of him.  Like giving his minutes to Arop.  Arop has more to gain from minutes this year and moving forward for our team.

Minutes to Arop has been a long-time coming, in my mind. I thought Akol fought hard to play solid D, at least. He'll get better & better, and with a prolonged losing streak, there's no reason to trot out Kavas, his time has come & gone....

I know hindsight is 20/20-

But I wonder what we would look like as a team with Brady as a sophomore and without Kavas. Brady has better size, length, and upside- you can’t teach 6-11.

He would still need to pack on some weight but we would have a shot blocker at the very least...

He would probably still get abused some nights but I’d be interested to see cross not having to play defense on opposing fives every night.  He’s by far the best freshman I can remember us having in my decade of following this team.

Maybe it’s just me, but that shot looks different?  More confident and smooth.  It doesn’t look like the same shot as I’ve seen this year.

Brady would be way better than Yvan this year.  I like Yvan’s long term potential but it is clear he is not ready at the present.

MATEJ SINGIN' THE SEATTLE SONG!

Of course even better, Perry Como did SEATTLE -- so maybe Matej is whistling along to this original tune, while strolling the streets of Lincoln, Nebraska, and re-tweeting the "6 3s":
