BobSaccamanno Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Man, it seems hard to find players that are top notch shooters but still have the physical ability you need for the B1G. It’s a broken record with all these guys not being able to shoot well. Yet, you want the physical ability. It’s been a conundrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen many players with his quickness and athleticism, but the shooting is a major concern, both from 3 and the foul line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched some others...I have probably 4 or 5 pgs we are on ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daily Hoosier Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I would agree. At least Love, and Davis, and likely Pack too. You can't have a guy coming off ball screens that defenses don't respect as a shooter, although of course he can develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I’m ok with missing on this one. Kid has blazing speed but just didn’t have a balanced attack I think necessary to make significant contribution to the team. Good luck to him.

BobSaccamanno Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 If you can't shoot the ball, you become limited. You can have a role, maybe as a defensive stopper and facilitator, but we need more balanced players who can provide reliable shooting. I'd hate to be in the same boat 2-3 years from now that we have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t have days of Newkirk starting for us and not giving us any punch on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 I'm good with him committing elsewhere. That said, I can also see why Brannen would roll the dice on him. Looks like a fantastic natural athlete. Might be a good candidate to redshirt and do nothing but shoot for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
