Oh wow, I did not know that.

I’m just seeing this - let’s start praying for a bad nba evaluation.

Bummer, but best of luck to the young man. Hope he's able to get healthy and flourish somewhere. Just somewhere we never play.

I was wanting to get caught up on who Ramel is as a player, and forgot that I had watched this a couple years ago. I forgot how much of a Point Guard I found him to be. Clearly has incredible, heads up, court vision and just knows where guys are. I think I've kinda settled on that he reminds me a lot of Sammy G and Delano Banton in 1 player. But not as tall/long as Delano (but a better scorer), and not as physically big as Sam (but a craftier passer). https://www.google.com/search?q=ramel+lloyd+jr&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS917US917&sxsrf=APwXEdeWDncwJVdZZik1QzEV6yI63fWN4w:1681841238630&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiXjuPsgrT-AhWfkIkEHR3yA5AQ0pQJegQIBBAG&biw=1224&bih=730&dpr=2#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:a3d1c830,vid:tsH3nwgeExU

Hahahahahaha 6

A little birdie says there’s a good good good chance norms prayers were answered

He was made in a Wisconsin lab and gifted to us for stealing Chucky.

I’m very surprised he’s considering us - his reasons for transferring (his words) were so he could have an increased role and freedom offensively. He’s not receiving that here in terms of minutes or role.

The difference is he’s legitimately 6’4”, strong, and has decent length. Much more room to develop physically than KT.

This is….. uh…. a hell of a f***ing steal from Wisconsin.

Kaluma is gone. I think we'll hear the news shortly.

I kinda remember he being described as a Brady Manek from OU/UNC

In no way do I want to be overly critical of a player and I want it to be clear I think Wilhelm is a great dude, love his effort, and think he could provide valuable minutes. I do want to clarify, because I didn't say it earlier, but I want him here. But I do want to get it straight what you're saying here.... Wilhelm was billed as a versatile swing 4 - but you want him to not shoot corner 3's or attempt to take guys off the dribble? And I also, I think we would all agree, he hasn't shown much knack for being a back-to-the-basket big - right? So you just want him to be a rim defending, rebounding, 5-man, roll guy? Again, if that's all you think he is, I think there's was a real miss and poor evaluation of his skills and ability for this level. For him to be effective - I think he HAS TO be able to do the things you said you want him to stay away from.

200% - me too.

I will just come out and say it, as the worst thing that can happen is he drastically changes and proves me wrong - but I think it's pretty clear Wilhelm was a miss and a bad evaluation. I know he has been injured, but I just do not see it. Seems like an absolutely great, team first, hard working dude - appreciate everything he's done and given. Just don't see the skill base or athletic ability. Not at this level at least. And I do remember, when he was finishing up High School, someone actually posted a link to one of his games, and I remember being super hesitant when I actually saw him play in a live, full game.

It's actually the exact opposite, and what I don't like about our defense. It just takes one guy to go 95% on his run-off (we don't close-out, we run guys off the line), and we give up a wide open 3. Just one guy to be a .25 second hesitation late on his rotation and we give up a wide open 3.

Yeah - one and done because they were instant impact nba talent lol. Not because they had one year left as a "serviceable" guard.

I'm not sure it matters in our defensive scheme. We kind of scheme around "staying in front of..."

(I’m just messing with ya ha)

Agreed. And as the resident "take in-state kids" guy, I appreciate you making this post first, so it didn't hurt me as much.

Same. Love his highlight tape. @Jacob Padilla stop - I know. Not sure where he slots in or who he bumps out but we'll see. I'm also operating under the idea that I don't understand why some of these guys, especially older ones, would transfer w/o guarantee of starting role.

Injury free or not, I think one has it in them, and I think one doesn't.
