Without watching him outside of clips in which he never misses, I am going to blatantly stereotype and assume that as a German he has a more rounded game. So poor man's Cam more than Joey C. type.
Yes, he'd be the combo guard. Decent passing skills, though I doubt we're ever seeing him at PG. He'll be here to shoot
Can’t help but think we’re still another ball handler short if Nils commits. When Silas comes out of the game, who is facilitating this offense? They’re putting an incredible amount of stock into thinking county can handle those duties & im weary of that.
We need people who can penetrate. We saw how trying to score is so tough on our offense when no one can penetrate. Hey we don't have to feel excited about all our recruits. I prefer us to get more athletic at the guard position personally. That is my opnion. We have 3 potential good shooters in Mullins, Demary and Kahmenia. I guess I'm find with it but it really doesn't move the needed much for me in excitment for next year. I'm getting Mahaney vibes with this player.
Machowski was born and raised in Berlin, as was his coach father who played 17 seasons in 5 countries and with Kansas City, KS CC. Still coaches with Stargard, near Szczecin.
Son of a coach? Hurley’s MO.
Wow, where my wifes family hails from, family name is Stettin Anglicized version of Szczecin
Yep checked out the same. Couple things, I noticed he started all 6 UCF postseason games as a soph and averaged about 9pts/4 reb vs. P-5 schools. And for some reason he has good rebound numbers (5.7) for a Joey C. size guard (6-3/183lb)
So you want us to become Princeton basketball? yikes.
Why settle for one?
Mahaney is a very good player, things could've gone a lot differently for him here on another team in a different role. Hurley brought him in to be our starting point guard, he's not a point guard. That was one of the only errors Hurley has made here, crushed the kid's confidence.
With the new "5 in 5 rule", I'm hearing good things about Stephon Castle...
He is not a Top 5 league player. He is a good at a mid-major. He wasn't quick or strong enough to play this level especially sine his shooting was not that good etiher. Probably one of our worst defenders at the guard position ever.
No. I want to fill the one glaring weakness we have had. Shooting. That’s all we need out of Nils. You seem to want a Duke like bench. A dozen burger boys that don’t get to play. Be realistic. Who do you really think you are getting for the ninth or tenth spot in the rotation?
Inconveniently, Stettin was the German name of Szczecin. After the allies defeated the Nazis, the Potsdam Agreement reverted Stettin back to its Polski name, Szczecin. Likable city, big contributor to Solidarność, and the end of Soviet control in Poland.
We sure did. It was so hard we were one of the best teams in the country the entire season and finished the year in a competitive championship game.
THIS!
Just because we finished well didn't mean that offense wasn't have a hard time to generate good looks. I guess I'm just spoiled byt he 23-24 team. You saw how good teams can bottle us up with Atlhletes like St. John's and Michigan did.
Likeable family too. How does the Germanized version of Szczecin make it inconvenient?
Nobody bottled us up. We missed a lot of shots. We were oh so close to being as Coach says “bulletproof”. Shoring up the shooting is what’s needed at this point. We have some studs on this team. I expect everyone to shoot better next year but we need some insurance.
Slightest knowledge of history /s
