I'd take him. We don't have a player his size on our current roster with his skill set.

I know I will be in the minority here, but I'm not as high on Janowski as most seem to be. IMO, Frager has the higher ceiling and is likely to contribute sooner.

I wonder about the level of competition as well, but he passes the eyeball test for me anyway. If he is the real deal he should be a solid rotation player as at 20 years old he will be the equivalent of a sophomore in college.

Develop was the wrong word to use. I have no problem with tight rotations, but when Gary, Williams or Berke get two fouls in the first half it would be nice to have more firepower to bring off the bench. We don't have that this season, hopefully we will have more depth in this regard next year.

I agree with this to an extent, but my guess is the coaching staff/Fred thought they would have other rotation pieces in Griffiths, Ulis and Meah. One hasn't panned out so far and the other two have been relegated to situational/foul problem minutes. In the age of the portal/NIL, if we ever want to win a game, let alone make a run in the NCAA tournament, we better develop the kind of depth where we can go 10 deep if needed and not have a significant drop off.

King could fit into a Firebird??

Agreed, but with the quality of looks he was getting I thought more would drop (so did Connor by the looks of it). He's got such a good release that you expect him to make it when his feet are set.

I can't recall ever seeing a guard airball a free throw.

If teams go all out to take away CE's 3 point opportunities then he has the ability to make them pay from inside the arc (see Creighton game) and it may open things up for others as well. He also has an extremely quick release so he doesn't need much space to get his shot off anyway. Plus, I trust Fred will be able to get him open looks regardless of what the D is doing.

On paper and on the floor, better than a year ago. More depth than last year at every position and better size and athleticism. CE is about as good of a replacement for KT as we could have hoped for and BB has been better than expected (hopefully his injured groin won't keep him out long). We're still not hitting on all cylinders but we are getting better with each outing. If GG gets it going we will be even better.

I'm pretty sure that late in the first half we had 10 TO's and SD had 9, with both teams ending up with 12 for the game.

Didn't recall hearing about EA becoming a Mountaineer. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4702281/eduardo-andre

Happy Turkey Day everybody!!
