His numbers are remarkably similar to his sophomore year with a few more shots. He was a good player his sophomore year. Happy he landed in a good spot. The idea that some folks are spinning that he’ll get a shot in the NBA is a little bizzare to me, but he’ll make money playing ball somewhere.
Yep, a couple of points more per game in a couple of less minutes per game. I look at those numbers and icy normal college development over four years. The exception is his junior year where he was squeeze for playing time and struggled in Hurley‘s system. Josh is a good kid and a solid four-year player who didn’t sit well in Hurley‘s system and got squeezed out by players who did.
What league? China, NBL, Israel?
He'll be making money somewhere next year - Sampson will see to it
did he figure it out or does Sampson use him in a way he can be more productive?
“The League” is usually reserved for the NBA. Do you think he’ll get a shot in the NBA?
I think he’ll be in the G league competing for a spot in the league. It was really unfortunate what happened to him here he’s a + high major starting center just had some bad coaching in year 1, bad S&C plan in year 2/3, a bad system fit with Hurley and a once in a decade big recruit came in underneath him. We really didn’t do right by him in many ways.
No one. It was just unfortunate he was a good center stuck behind a really good center. His transfer made a lot of sense, I would have advised him to do the same.
yes as a free agent
I could see him getting a sniff in the G League. No offense to Carlton as he's a pretty good college player, but for the NBA game he's undersized (I know he's listed at 6'11, but it's clear from pictures he's the same height as Sanogo and Polley), not particularly athletic, does not have an outside game (offensively or defensively), is not a particularly impressive rim protector, and is old for a prospect. Those are not attributes that generally lead to a real look from the NBA. I feel like the closest reasonable comp to him from the recent NBA is a poor man's Jalil Okafor. Okafor had decent amount of size on him, a more advanced post game coming out of college, and was 4/5 years younger than Carlton will be coming out of college... and Okafor has really struggled to fit in the current NBA game.
Carlton is averaging 1.1 assists a game, again proving you are delusional about his passing. Also, Sanogo is simply much better than Carlton. Again, happy for Carlton and glad he's succeeding but no high major coach would agree with you about having Carlton (who started the year on the bench and is only starting due to injury and necessity) over Adama (an all big east caliber starting big) is ludicrous.
I'm not saying the guy has lead feet, but he'd be the least athletic big on the current roster by a pretty decent margin. Again, it's not a knock on him as a college player as clearly he's got the footwork and post-game to still be a quality player, I'm just commenting on the folks that think he's NBA bound. There are NBA centers that are undersized and athletic, and less athletic but have the size, I'm just saying it's really hard to make it work when both are going to be below average at the NBA level.
@BigErnMcCracken i think this one is for you.
