Seems like another good addition.
Shot maker and play maker--Pope has tried to sign him twice before--3rd time is charm.

Kerr and Bria give us exactly that!
Welcome Kerr Kriisa, two great shooters in one day, and we are not done. It feels good to know we have players who CAN shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
61 TS% last season in the B12 and over 6 assists per 40 for his career. He has some nice shooting and playmaking ability.
Good get!! 3 point shooting at the guard spot starting to look legit!!! Let’s go!!!
Keep em coming, what is that 9 now. We have what 4 more spots?
He's going to be a solid piece for us. The experience alone is great.
Last season. Lifetime 38% from the field, and 37% from 3. Has been a turnover machine in most seasons. Probably won't defend well based on his PER numbers. Highest year was last year at 12.1.
Am I completely incorrect in Marshall Henderson being a comp? I couldn't stand him but he could shoot, was rather, uh, animated. Case of if he is ours we love him?
I think this is a disaster from an attitude and team chemistry perspective. Dude is another Marshall Henderson from Ole Miss and chirps the entire game. Talks smack the entire time and then if he hits a shot has exuberant obnoxious celebrations. I’ll get trashed for this post which is inevitable but I want it on the record I think this is a HUGE mistake.
Couldn't get him to BYU out of Arizona...
I wonder if this is one of the guys that wouldn't go to BYU but would come to UK for Pope.
Sounds like it could be. I am excited to watch him play here.
Maybe, but if Pope has tried to get him multiple times and took a chance on him once again, there has to be significantly greater benefit than cost. At least that's what I'm hoping.
He is going to be VERY GOOD in Pope's system. I hope that someone here much smarter with the stats than I (Aike?) can put together something for us that gives us an idea of what, in a fantasy world, this team could look like on both ends of the court.
