If we get Mullins he will be best player in our class just like Reed was
Kid is really good

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.We have a deep, experienced roster, which is very nice. How many total minutes do you think Perry, Chandler and Noah will each play this season ?? For example, here are the career minutes progressions for Willis and Hawkins, as members of talented rosters. They had to wait their turn ...
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.Is Chandler a guy that could develop into a Combo PG/SG, or does he have more of a SG/SF game? I've watched some highlights of him and was thinking he was more of a wing, but unless he grows a couple of inches, I wonder if he would be better off trying to develop PG skills if he wants to play professionally?

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.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.

This!Maybe I’m just shell shocked by the Cal years, but I am just done with All Freshmen backcourts. Give me a veteran portal PG to go with them and then we are talking.
Already been answered above, but since you asked me, I will answer.Is Chandler a guy that could develop into a Combo PG/SG, or does he have more of a SG/SF game?

maybe a bigger travis ford?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.
I’m good with Moreno, Johnson, Yessoufou, and Mullins.
Johnson can play the 2 and play some minutes at the 1 if need be.
Mullins can play at the 2 and 3 spots.
Yessoufou can play the 3 and 4 spots. I like the idea of him as a small ball 4. He is physical enough and has a nonstop motor.
That would be a solid 4 man class. Maybe add a guy like Reibe. Finish with a couple of multi year recruits.
Get Oweh, Garrison, Chandler, Perry, and Noah back. Add a portal PG.
PG Portal/Perry
SG Johnson/Chandler/Recruit
SF Oweh/Mullins/Noah
PF Yessoufou/Reibe/Recruit
C Garrison/Moreno
Something like that, maybe?
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.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.
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.Wayne Turner came to UK as a scorer and thzn became a great PG. Only time will tell
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.“I would definitely say Braylon Mullins, that’s my guy. Been on the same AAU team for four years and wouldn’t want to see him anywhere else,” Moreno told KSR on this week’s edition of the Sources Say Podcast."

If Pope runs them hard all game and presses like old school RP teams, there are plenty of minutes.Who are you taking minutes from?
All these upperclassmen didn't come to UK not to play.
Me too but after listening his dad’s interview it doesn’t doesnt sound very promising.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.
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.If we get Mullins he will be best player in our class just like Reed was
Kid is really good
How come? I’ll have to listen to it.Me too but after listening his dad’s interview it doesn’t doesnt sound very promising.
Yes Turner was and solid mid range shooter. His main strength was getting to the basket though.But Turner always was a good 2pt. scorer, right?
