Even if we take your statement at face value, you're comparing senior Alex Karaban to freshman Nik Khamenia. Freshman Alex Karaban was listed at 210 pounds, he started on a national championship team. Sophomore Alex Karaban was listed at 220 pounds, he also started on a national championship team. Karaban's wingspan was measured at 6'11" and Khamenia at 6'10". They both have very good length
BTW @Hey Adrien! -Sayon Keita commits to UNC
Why don’t we just build a Time Machine and pick up prime Tim Duncan?
You are assuming wrong in my opinion. A back up experienced point guards like Smith is what I think is what the staff is going after in my opinion. Last two years both our point guards were injured. A freshman point guard like County will not cut it in pressure situations. Staff knows this.
LOL
Serious question about this: I may be able to convince my employer to make a small amount of money available to a cause like this...but honestly, have no idea how this works or what NIL rules are, collectives, etc. Is there any direction or guidance available for a situation like this?
Neither of them are spending a minute playing PF for us. Our PF needs to be able to shoot the ball.
Alex looks broader, thicker. We are going to be bigger and stronger at the 2 and 3. All is good. Hines is going to be a beast. Really picking this one apart, trust the staff.
I can’t remember there being such strong and differing opinions over the 10th man before
Staff also said he’s our primary backup PG and then we got Nils who’s a CG as insurance, we have an awesome backcourt.
You make a fair comment but there are so many competent PF still out there that could be great depth pieces in case of injury… think about how our season may have gone if Riebe didn’t step up when Reed was injured in non conference? We likely would have been a much lower seed in tournament then you never know , I think right now we have 3 players 6’8 or taller god forbid Hines get injured for any sustained period…. If you can get another decent big guy I say go for it even if he is 10th man
Let the staff cook. I'm pretty confident that after the 2025 year, Hurley is never going into a season without depth. He's going to be filling in the blanks now.
I love that you spelled Khamenia correctly. He's already signed, so he's not just a flash that could disappear. Let's appreciate what we have, and aspire for success in obtaining the remaining the pieces.
but... are they a threat from 3? I would like to see a 4/5 who can be a threat from 3.
Have you seen Tarris Reed shooting drills lately?? Sucker can fill it up!!
Right now, based on what’s there, Hines and Oskar are definitely playing the 5 in our system. But we need another Big and things would probably have to adjust depending on who we get.
This one feels like it's on you.
Not tin type?
Yeah, but how many penalty minutes did he rack up?
Does anybody want to call Anthony Mason or Charles Oakley off the couch?
They wouldn't fit in our system at the 4. They need the ability to hit 3s.
Portal Wish sets great screens and can rebound with anyone. Needs to work on his shot
Anthony Mason has been dead since 2015 and Oakley is banned from MSG so neither would work for us.
