To me he’s the best recruit because he’s not a one and done, he works incredibly hard, and can go on streaks of 10 straight from deep in practice. He’s going to be hard to keep off the floor. I think Pav probably plays in front of him at least early on, but Milan will be really hard to keep on the bench.
My optimistic projection for Milan is that he is such an efficient scorer that he forces some other front court players into more situational roles like Niang did his freshman year to Anthony Booker and Percy Gibson.
I plotted out a minutes comparison of that season to see Niang's
The X Axis is minutes played in a game, and the Y Axis is the game number of the season.
Game 13 was the first conference game, and that's when Georges took over a starting spot. His minutes played average split at that point was 22 before and 27 after.
If the rumblings of Milan being a sniper this summer translate to production on the court we will likely see the combined minutes of Robert Jones and Hason Ward drop to the sub-20 level like what happened to Gibson and Booker in 2013.
Obviously that year's team and this upcoming one are quite different. Melvin Ejim (JR), Will Clyburn (SR), and Chris Babb (SR) were known commodities for the most part, and they were eating up minutes too because we were going 4 guards a lot that year. We'll see what happens this year with the transfers and Omaha at non-PG guard spot and wings.
