Nils Machowski Committed!

[Brandon Miles]

Dude, do you know what rips in late April?

Having a roster two-deep at nearly every position.

Locked and reloaded!

Need 4

 

[Brandon Miles]

Yeah but... this is so much more rewarding than loading up on 23 year old Euro pros....

The reward is the chip..got Euro if needed..🤷🏽‍♂️

 

[REB1094]

Welcome aboard!! Instant offense off the bench, excited to see him light it up from three!

 

[NewBlood]

Are we better than Duke yet?

We will be by March, when it matters

 

[Gurleyman]

It is the lazy comparison to "Joey C." that creates the need to compare him to Spencer. One was a chucker from 3 and the other was a CG (capable of playing the point). Machowski is a CG (capable of the playing the point) not a 3-and-little-to-no-D.

I felt like JoeyC developed some nice chemistry with Clingan on the pick and roll. I remember some pretty nice lobs. Obviously his primary role was gunslinger but I was impressed that he’d show more than that sometimes and became a little unpredictable. He was a great bargain pickup. When he signed at the time, I looked at him the same way we looked this past year at Millender or Koroma, and then he was out there bombing threes in a nattie.

Cam was a unicorn. A couple buckets from 50-40-90 with a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio that grew to 4:1 in the second half of the year. He reached levels of efficiency we might never see again.

It never ceases to amaze me how annoying these pointless minute distribution exercises are

Who doesn't like being amazed?

Why don't we just say he's a poor man's Spencer and then see what we actually got once we finally get to see him play.

I do agree, that he has a more all around game than Joey Buckets.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

He’s white, the same size and these people have cotton candy in their heads.

You’ll get used to it.

Also, it helps people to forget that two weeks ago there were reports that Kahmenia was a Cam-like psycho (in a good way).

You really need to get to the conference realignment board.

You haven’t live until you’ve seen someone reimagine the conference landscape. (You’d be impressed how often UConn lands in the Big Ten.)

 

[huskiemaniac]

Don't really like any player comparisons and think it's setting Nils up for failure to compare him to Cam, but it is worth noting he played in the Big 12 the 2 years prior to his junior year. Albeit it with subpar results

Cam was just built different…you felt like he was going to make every big shot they needed…amd he let the other team know it. God he was fun to watch!

 

[Coach J]

Agreed.

But to be fair, Cam Spencer wasn’t Cam Spencer until Cam Spencer became Cam Spencer.

True!

 

[Scottobot]

Yeah, but Joey California was a dreadful defender too and even fell out of the rotation entirely in January, until he became serviceable by March. Having 2 elite rim protectors is key. Plus Nils is a great rebounder. Having guards who can rebound so the bigs can get up the floor in transition is something that we were lacking the last 2 years.

JOEY C was on fire and the start and end of the season and ice cold in the middle. When he was hot he was a key part of the team. Had he not had that ice cold stretch his offense would have kept him in the rotation. Nils had a few incredible nba jams on fire 🔥 games last year. If he can have a few of those next year he will be a real asset.

70% Joey C.

Joey C-

 

[bendm]

70% Joey C.

He’s projected to be 30% worse than Joey C?? Joey only averaged 8-2-1 his senior year at SDU and Nils averaged 17-5-2.5 as a junior
