Gimme Pettiford and Diop.
Tahaad can start at either G spot or backup both. Diop can start at PF and split time at C with Reibe. They’d give us a lot of looks with their versatility.

Pettiford shot less than 30% from 3 this year - don’t think that would work for us

Beyond the top 20 guys, guessing how freshmen will look on campus is a crapshoot. Hopefully the new guys will be long term players, but they might also be the next Ahmad Nowell or Isaiah Abraham and leave for greener pastures. We won't know until we know

Now Pettiford isn’t good enough for us?? He was at 37% last year and auburn was a mess this year. He’s exactly the kind of secondary ball handler/shot creator we were missing this year. Plus he’s from Jersey.

I'm not opposed to Diop but I think his shooting/ability to stretch the floor is being a bit exaggerated. He took 26 3's all year and shot 30.8%. Reibe took 13 at the same percentage in half the minutes so pretty similar abilities in terms of stretching the floor

Yes, he shot 30% from three and 40% from the field. He also scored 30 against Arizona, 29 against Arkansas, 28 against Tennessee, 27 against St. John's, 25 against Bama, 25 against Georgia, 21 against Vandy, 16 against Michigan.

He would be an incredible pickup for us.

We don't need 4 guys starting shooting threes all the time. We do need a physical freak athlete.

Sure, I'd love to have him here. Just saying he is not a shooter the way some here have alluded to
