Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5186123, member: 12414"] I am guessing it’s closer to 5’11” and he is long. Not sure what his wingspan is but it would not surprise me if it’s 6’3” or so. He is bigger that Gilbert and I am only using that comparison because Gilbert was injured his freshman year but even before he re injured his shoulder from the high school injury he was having some trouble in the lane with getting his shot off. But we never got to see him healthy IMO. He was a marginally better player after transferring to Wichita State but never close to where he was projected coming out of high school. It can be done. Last night the Knicks had Brunson and McBride on the court at the same time and beat a good Houston team. Brunson is maybe 6’1” and he can dominate an NBA game. Sears is dominant with Alabama. I think we all love big guards because of our success. I am hoping Nowell has some of that type game in him. I trust our staff in their assessment. It would be great to have a super quick player who can get to the basket. Imagine the kick out opportunities with our shooters. But if defenders don’t respect his ability to finish the kick out opportunities will not be there as much. I think we are seeing they have patience and see things we don’t. Honestly if McNeeley does not get hurt we are probably a one loss team in the BE and we are not talking about so many of the things that have dominated the yard over the last 5 weeks. I am hoping Nowell has that ability to overcome his size and be an impact player. I think it is clear he is the quickest player with the ball on our roster. I would say fastest but I think Ross probably covers space faster than Nowell. [/QUOTE]
