They couldn't hide him on the perimeter in Lawrence against us no matter how hard they tried
Yeah, he matched up alright with the guys we threw at him this year. But i was talking more in general. Every year before the season Svi was on the "Potential Lottery Pick" Lists' and it always made me cringe. Never saw anything from his game that made me think he was a NBA talent, let alone a Lottery Pick.
He should enjoy the rigorous travelling schedule of a typical NBA team, though.Trueee, how could I forget about that Defense. I misread the post, thought it was just saying "which is awesome" to the "Svi isn't coming back regardless". Where as I wanted him to stay in the league for as long as possible
Sorry for the confusion
There goes the old "give it to whoever is guarded by Svi" offense that the Big 12 employed last year.

While you never knew what you were going to get on a game to game basis, I thought youngsters McGusty, DoLittle and James were very talented. I'd take that with Lewis, McNeil, and Wigginton. Which just makes me feel their inexperience will be a factor in the big12 grind like OU's. OU's experienced guys were similar to Young, Bowie, and Babb in that they had their roles but weren't stars. I don't care how talented our incoming guys are, there is just something about chemistry playing together for years like our last two teams have gotten to do, much less our seniors who were at the peak of their game. There is such a learning curve.
They also had one kid who eerily reminded me of Georges... he was like 6'7" and had a killer spin/hook shot. Can't remember his name right now, though.
Potential? Sure. Anybody who plays P6 D1 and is a 6'8 Guard, should have NBA potential. That doesn't mean he has the ability or talent.
He has both of those. It isn't really that hard to see.
Grad transfer with 2 years eligibility
6-8 235 lbs originally from Omaha
4.5 ppg 4.3 rpg 0.9 bpg in 15 minutes per game.
Very intriguing prospect. Probably better than any of the JUCO big men left
Hmmm, 4-star out of HS... but committed to Louisville. Got kicked off (suspended indefinitely) from there. What the heck do you have to do to get booted from Louisville? LOL.
Not sure if this guy will fit CSP's mold and culture, but interesting.
EDIT: Also tore his ACL while at Georgetown...
Turn down the strippers
