I really think that trying to compare players in the past with anyone on a Pope team is almost impossible. This is a team that their whole offensive makeup is based on the ability to shot the 3. No question that most freshman lack experience to be penciled in as a contributor but in the case of Perry and Noah their ability to shoot the 3 will change the equation. Chandler being not a typical freshman in age, he just might play to his age, freshman or not.
Nah he can't play point he lacks fluidity and sharpness with his handles. He seems to have decent vision but he won't be able to develop into a point guard. He doesn't have that ball handling ability. You can tell he hates having a guy get into his space.
That's fair... I hadn't watched enough of him, so as I said above, I wasn't sure if he was more wing SG/SF vs potentially a longer, lanky PG like SGA.
I gotcha. Yeah of course that's just my opinion but I would say in the mold of a 2/3 for sure. I personally don't think he will contribute much this year but in the future he could.
I think this is right at this time. I think he’s a 2 who will get you some assists on drive draw dish, but not really built to run a team.
Already been answered above, but since you asked me, I will answer.
Chandler is a wing. He will play the 2 and/or 3 spot.
He has reportedly grown to 6’6, so size is not an issue.
Perry is the guy in this Freshman class that needs to develop into a PG. He’s maybe 6’2 and although he can flat out shoot it, he probably needs to develop more into a PG if he wants to make it to the league.
That would be a really really great first class for Pope. We honestly could not ask for more unless we pulled a rabbit out of hat and got a Peterson or something.
And it’s very realistic. Moreno is already on board. We have a really great shot at getting Johnson next week. It looks like Mullins is likely either IU or UK. We seem to be the favorite or at least one of the favorites to land Yessoufou.
But Turner always was a good 2pt. scorer, right? Not a volume scorer at UK, but reliable short-to-mid range. That funky shot just wasn't made for 3pt. shooting, but I always was kind of amazed at how well it seemed to work at 10-15 feet.
I hear you Moreno. I'd LOVE to see Pope land this kid over Uconn, and home state IU. Would be a HUGE get and a PERFECT fit for his system.
If Pope runs them hard all game and presses like old school RP teams, there are plenty of minutes.
Me too but after listening his dad’s interview it doesn’t doesnt sound very promising.
Not every kid is gonna be like Reed because they play a similar game. It’s time to recognize how elite Reed actually was. He’s the 3rd overall pick who would have went number 1 had the lottery fallen differently. He absolutely looked the part in the summer league too, now it’s too be determined how his pro career turns out but the kid can flat ball and is great at everything except defense which will be masked better in the pro game.
Yes Turner was and solid mid range shooter. His main strength was getting to the basket though.
