Oh, I agree... That was my original point when someone posted that bringing in Pierce wouldn't make sense since we'll have Stew at the 4. I don't think we'll ever see the potential and talent totally click. But, he's a very useful player off the bench and has been much less of a defensive liability this year to my eye.
He absolutely a great coach.
He's a little bit smaller than AK, a little bit more athletic. Ends up about the same where his best position is 4, and he can guard some 3s but not the quicker/quick twitch ones.
What is wrong with you alexd trying to get this thread back on the OT? Please stop with this nonsense. 😂
Completely agree. He can make a 3, but he's not consistent and he's become too 3 point oriented. He needs to put that NBA body to the test and start driving, creating contact and finishing strong. Enough with the dipsydoo crap.
Getting Mullins away from Purdue and IU seems like a miracle in hindsight. He’s gonna torture those fans all year and hopefully March in particular
It doesn’t feel like that in him. I see the moments/spurts with Jaylin (like everybody else). Those are salivating - he does things that very few guys can do. But…at some point, when moments stay as moments and never become consistent…after 2+ years…that feels like who he is. I am NOT remotely qualified to assess his game. But he seems to lack a nasty (basketball) attitude to accompany his physical gifts. I’d love to be wrong. And I’m thrilled he’s one of our guys. But, the jury is coming back into the courtroom….
Hate to say it, what you see is what you get. However if the 3 Junior Class Musketeers can continue to make small incremental improvements in their game, big contribution!!
Is he long like AK? I keep hearing AK has a 7'6" wingspan but that really doesn't sound (or look) right.
AK has a 6'11 wingspan. Dauster keeps saying 7' foot something wingspan, but he's wrong lol.
Yea Dauster has said he has a 7'3" wingspan multiple times on Fof68. AK participated in the 2024 combine, all his measurements are verifiable if he took 5 secs to look it up.
I’ve also heard Rob say Solo is 6 foot. I don’t think he’s 6’4” as listed but Ball is taller than what RD claims.
Been saying this for 2yrs after meeting him …he’s 6’2
In real life. But with sneakers he's 6'3.5" and rounded up to 6'4". Just like Newton is 6'3.25" in real life but 6'4.75" in sneakers and he was listed at 6'5".
Yeah, i think you could pretty much say every basketball player is listed 1.5-2 inches shorter than their listed height. I think it's all relative.
Yeah, Dauster I think is thinking of samson johnson - easily confusable of course
Except DC. He was listed at 7’2 and he measures 7’ 1.75 barefoot
It's like he doesn't know us at all.
