He had a bad PER as a Frosh. That’s efficiency. It was bad for a starting PG for the #1 team in the country. Going back in history, I would have wanted another starting PG during Yogi’s frosh and Soph years. He was a liability on defense. It was the scouts biggest knock on him during college. Do you think they do that for fun? Just make up reports about him because well they don’t like him.

His PER was not as a starting PG as a frosh. He shouldn’t have started and only did because Crean made a promise to him during recruiting. His PER was 13 which is low for a 5 star PG or low for a starting PG in general. We could have walked out a lot of players as a starting PG and still won it. Abell left because of the nonsense. His sophomore season led to a lot of fighting on the team mainly due to his immaturity. Ask Sheehey how many times he would yell at him and the rest of the 2012 and 2013 class. He started doing better on offense as an upperclassmen because losing helps you focus more. However scouts views on his defense in college....not a good write up on that.

Hey it’s what they think. Archie may have been small but most college coaches want bigger PGs like in the 6’1” and above range. The shortest PG Archie has offered so far was 6’0”. Most are 6’1” and above. Yogi took two years to acclimate and he still struggled on D as a short PG. You also have to think packline D and length and height to defend. You need length to guard the 3.

There is concern he is too small.
