Now we're closer to being on the same page. If you remember beginning of the year some were already saying one and done. Obviously he needs another year. But until we see where he's at physically next fall it's tough to predict when he'll declare.

I think DeVries is a really good comparison to Milan. Tucker is thicker but hasn't done a transformation like Georges did to prepare himself for the next level. When those three move to draft (Georges obviously already has) they'll likely have similar builds. Tucker like Georges did, needs to firm up. Milan just needs to add the muscle. Skill wise though Milan seems very much like Tucker.
I think last night was the first where we've really seen him be a bit of a liability defensively. BYU was going right at him, not blowing by him, but going into and through him for a lot of their shots at the rim in the first half. But that's to be expected on some level for a freshman defensively. I'm not worried about his defense moving forward as he hopefully gets stronger this offseason and he's been way ahead of what I expected this season. Plus, most teams aren't versatile enough and don't pass well enough to consistently get that mismatch, so hopefully other teams won't be able to take advantage of him in the tournaments, either.
He needs to get quicker. I don't think we've seen him beat anybody off the dribble this year.
Agree, and I think he will, but that fadeaway is deadly when he can’t get around someone. You don’t see guys hit that shot as consistently as he does in the college game
I saw Nojus at halftime last night. He, like most of us, looked pissed off haha. Not the best first half to watch. Fun to see him posting a video of Hilton Magic later on in the night. What a game for him to see. Also, he's all of 6'5" and may even be 6'6". Kid is huge.
Because he is already on NBA radars. And showing up on mocks for next year.
Milan has that crafty footwork that Georges had. Georges had crazy spins on drives, but not the fade away that Milan has. Milan has taken 3's at a higher clip than Georges in his freshmen year, but actually has a lower percent made, but better than what Georges did his sophomore season.
It seemed in the first half they had us spread enough we were slower to get the help trap than what we have been many games. It was a uniquely called game as they seemed to call everything on the drives but left a "play on" message under the bucket. I was totally shocked to see BYU more physical than us for more than half the game, then equally shocked how much our D stepped up and made them wilt in the last 5 minutes of the game.
He was, Conner F. talked to him and mentioned it on the CF postgame.
Are you trying to do a Dude Where's My Car joke?
FYI I listed them all to point out how far down the depth chart Pavs could be next year if any of the three new guards play well defensively.

Milan is the exact guy every pro team wants. He just has to develop a little more. He has all the shots though. Plays good defense he will be in the league a long time
I get the comparison, as they are similar size. I always thought of Tucker as a 2-3, where Milan is more of a 3-4. Tucker is obviously older and more developed physically, but Milan is so very crafty with his footwork.
My only disagreement is the EXACT guy the pros want is Milan's offense and basketball IQ coupled with Ward's hops!
Tucker plays the 4 in the valley but is a true 3. He's the guy they use at the top to break down the D at the end of the clock. I think Milan will eventually become that for us as well. They ran offense through Georges but it was pretty exclusively from the wing.
