Davion Mintz has HOPS

Maybe it’s the camera angle but it didn’t look like he was getting up that high.
No need to Mintz words!
I just want him to initiate the offense, not turn the ball over, knock down open shots, and play defense.
I think we will get enough highlight reel dunks from Clarke, Boston, Brooks, and Sarr.

Agreed. That's pretty standard stuff for D1 guard facing no defense nowadays. I was expecting more when I saw the thread title.
I like seeing the corner 3 go in easily a lot more than worrying about a guard dunking.
I’m pretty excited to see him advance the ball in transition. He seems to have great vision on the break.
I don't believe that for a second. Mintz has to have a solid 30-32 inch vertical to do that which is decently above avg college player.
Dude is kinda shredded, too. No bullying our PGs this year.
Just take care of the pill and play solid d.
We don't need him to be Magic.
Pretty standard to do a between the legs dunk, not sure what you’re talking about
Yeah I mean you used to do it in Chinatown back in the day....I am probably wrong.
I think Jackson will catch a few dunk rebounds next season. Bouncy and long.
It’s very standard. If you want to impress me you need to do at least 2 of those on the air
Idk why but I feel like I’m really going to like Mintz suiting up and playing his tail off next year. I’ve liked him since we’ve signed him for some odd reason. It’s like love you just can’t explain it haha
If he isnt in shape he will once Cal gets done with him.
Honestly, give me a video of a zippy pass to a teammate that doesn't get plucked.. Or a drive to the hoop that's controlled and doesn't turn into just running into the defender..
He had some really great games against Villanova (Brunson), and that was as a Sophomore. The junior year wasn’t as great but it appears the team wasn’t as good around him. By all accounts he was due to have a great year last year before the injury! I have a really good feeling as well and don’t forget this is the guy Cal wanted!
mmm go back and look at the verticals of the guards we’ve had come through here over the years. I think the only guards we’ve had with lower 30’s verticals in the last 11 years were briscoe and mays maybe.
Mintz does look like he’s got some long arms though.
I was glancing through the comments, and my first read was "has a good BBQ IQ". I was convinved he would be a favorite just from that! BB IQ is fine too. Just not as tasty.
I have no idea what his vertical is...obviously. It
depends on what you define as vertical. I am just talking a standing vertical jump. Not a running max.

Those are average hops but I'm still excited to have him.
Here’s a pointless and stupid game, which of our guards could do a between the legs dunk in recent years :
2010 Wall and Bledsoe: yes
2011: Lamb no, Knight maybe? (I say yes)
2012: Teague maybe?
2013 Harrow and Mays: no
2014 Harrison’s: maybe? (I say no)
2015: Ulis no, Booker yes
2016: Murray yes
2017 Green and SGA: no
2018: Quickley no, Hagans maybe?
2020: Mintz yes, Askew no
Can we change the thread title to "Davion Mintz got time to put in practice dunks and corner threes"?

Harrow is a yes. The Harrisons were 6’5 so yes.
SGA was 6’6 with a 7 ft wing span so yes. Hagans is a yes. Askew is probably a yes.
Besides, going between the legs isn’t that big of a deal for a guy 6’5. At that height it’s more about reach and timing than vertical leaping ability.
Harrow could damn near put his head on the rim btw.

Ashton Hagans had like three dunks in two years and missed a couple too. This kid is more athletic than Hagans and askew. Not that it matters.
Hagans nearly put his head on the rim on that dunk at a&m. He was plenty athletic. His inability to finish was probably more about skill than athleticism.
Lol, yes it is a pointless argument.
For the sake of it here is this...Keldon, Hagans and IQ all had standing vertical in 30-32 range. But you also have to have the coordination/hands/arm length to do the dunk.
These arguments are nuts. There was an argument on here a while back on a move by BJ Boston in a game, in transition where one of our poster's claimed it was in everyone's HS mixtape....have never seen it once.

IQ’s 32’ is shocking.
