Agree with everything here except the bit about McIntosh. Not because I disagree about him being a low IQ player, but because I think Elijah Brown is the lowest IQ player we've had under Altman. The guy would rather shoot a 16 foot, falling down, contested jumper with 28 seconds left, than an in rhythm, uncontested three pointer with his feet set. He belongs on a team that can let him do whatever he wants. He kills us with his terrible decisions.GrantDuck wrote:Hopefully we can make the NIT and make a run in there...
The issue with this team is the talent is young.
-Elijiah Brown is utter trash.
-Pritchard is a nice player, but he's not ready to carry a team. his defense is mediocre and he needs to develop his mid range game more.
-McKintosh has the basketball IQ of a kumquat. Like, I have not seen a player that dumb since the Ernie era.
VJ Bailey, Troy Brown, and Wooten are our 3 most talented guys, but they are all so up and down.
I like Paul White, but we need to see a little more fire from him.
Kigab is completely lost, but you can see the talent if he can learn from Dana.
Keith Smith isn't a Pac-12 player. No development from year 1 to year 2. Sorkin is not a Pac-12 player.
Earlier in this thread I compared him to Porter and said I was hoping for a Devoe Joseph/Joseph Young. At this point I'd be thrilled with an Andre Joseph. Or even a Strowbridge/Calliste. He's definitely the worst transfer Altman has brought in. At least flops like Waverly Austin didn't actively hurt the team.
