Ok??? Be happy someone decent actually wants to come here after being a dumpster fire barely a month ago.He was 2nd to last in defensive box score rating for Minnesota last year.

An extra year and new blood with a chance to mold new habits is the positive imoLosing JCL and adding this guy is about a wash in my mind. No net addition IMO. But better than a net negative for sure!
2 years vs 1 I'd say this is a net positive personallyLosing JCL and adding this guy is about a wash in my mind. No net addition IMO. But better than a net negative for sure!
As a sophomore it was 35% which is okay. Need to get it back to around 38-40%.
HIs shot has looked good but it doesn't seem to go in these last two years. Hopefully, the shots start falling again.
I watched some Gopher games and his shot looks good so I think that percentage can jumpIt is odd he has shot above 80% from the FT line which is a much better indicator future shooting success than 3pt % from the previous year. His shot isn't broken, I have hope getting out of his home town, shooting in Hilton and natural regression to the mean will result in more buckets from deep. I did note that even shooting poorly he is still known as a shooter and demanded defense attention so he helps spacing regardless.
Regardless his defense, over all skills and leadership is a big pick up for TJ.
Hmm you seem to be right. I was watching some full game highlights from his sophomore year and he looked solid. That tweet above also said he’s an all big 10 defender. There’s also quite a few articles highlighting his defensive play, even from this year.He was 2nd to last in defensive box score rating for Minnesota last year.
Some nerd thing.What's defensive box score rating?
JCL is better offensive, GK is better defensively. This season wasn’t as good, but he was great in his first two seasons.Losing JCL and adding this guy is about a wash in my mind. No net addition IMO. But better than a net negative for sure!
This year he had a lower defensive rating, but he was very good his first two years. And this year was a strange year with COVID.Hmm you seem to be right.

I almost wonder if his shooting being down as well means something was “off” as a whole with him. Hoping a full change in scenery helps whatever the cause was!This year he had a lower defensive rating, but he was very good his first two years. And this year was a strange year with COVID.
