Interview and highlight video.   Two things struck me.   He is not blazing quick.    In the video, his team is always losing.

Not blazing quick but uses ball fakes (both pass and shot) to get his defender off balance very well and takes advantage getting around the defender. Also always reading the court.

Just how he moves, not how he plays, reminds me of Katin.

I think he’s going to be outstanding for us.

I have gone to several Fordham games over the years and seen Chartouny . I think he will contribute the same way Trent Lockett did by being a glue guy and doing whatever is necessary to help the team. Lockett was also a bit slower than the rest of our team when he came in, but his experience allowed him to adapt. Gives us a lot of flexibility with our guards as well. Glad we picked him up.

Not blazing quick, but I didn't expect a 6'3" PG from Fordham to be blazing quick. Some of the hilights were vs Davidson and he reminds me of players from that program - sound fundamentally, good form on his shot, uses both hands well, plays good position D and plays the passing lanes well.

I also think he'll be outstanding for us.

I think Wojo and company have learned from the previous development of Carlino and Kaitin, that will assist Chartouny.
Perhaps they now know better how a high usage grad transfer will work out as the season progresses.

I don't expect him to be a high usage guy for us or at least I hope he isn't. If he is just a facilitator like he describes himself that will be just fine.

Also, having two guards with  hesitation-dribble skills (Markus is an artist at this)  is going to be really big for us.

Yep, this will absolutely happen.  I'm expecting a slow start from Chartouny, but he will become an extremely valuable role player as we get into BE play.

Watching the highlights, I love the patience. He's always looking for the open man or the better play. So often he seemed to be committed to a drive or three, then suddenly was whipping the ball to the open man or changing it up and going inside. He looks like exactly what we need.

That said, he'll probably start slow. Lockett, Carlino, and Reinhardt all started slowly before acclimating to the team. It may not be until December or January before we see how effective he can be.

I think posters here are over excited about Chartouny, which means he has a lot of expectations to live up to. I have never seen him play or watched any of the videos. It concerns me that his team finished last in the Atl 10 last year. Usually there are three really good teams in the Atl 10. After that the league does not compare to the Big East. Of course he could of been a very good player surrounded by bad players. I am likely to be happier with Chartouny than a lot of poster here, because I have lower expectations.

Eric Paschall , transferred to Villanova from the same Fordham team that Chartouny played on.
 
Yes there will be a slight adjustment for Chartouny, however he is an intelligent player who understands what his role is going to be at MU. My expectations are that he is another Trent Lockett, starting off slow and  then finding his niche by the end of the season and making important contributions when they matter.

Exactly.

I expect 7-10 ppg, 4-6 apg, and 3-5 rpg on average shooting.

And I expect he will be awesome for us.

Plus, Chartouny will join Matt as one of two seniors on the roster. Along with juniors Ed, Sacar, Sam and Markus, Marquette will have plenty of experience and leadership to count on this season.

Together, these six players have appeared in 409 career games and logged a total of 9,882 minutes. That's an average of 68 career games played and 24.1 mpg. Such deep experience at virtually every position can be a real difference maker in college basketball.

Chartouny put up better numbers on a better Fordham team as a sophomore. None of the other four starters from his sophomore year were there last year. One graduated, two grad transferred up (one to UConn, one to Boise State), and the fourth had a season-ending injury before Thanksgiving.

I think modest expectations are always a good idea, but I do think the "very good player surrounded by bad players" is an apt description for Chartouny last year.
Title: Re: Dodds on Chartouny
Post by: Marcus92 on August 14, 2018, 12:09:58 AM
Others have mentioned this, but I'm also encouraged by Katin's performance as a graduate transfer at Marquette.

Brett Nelson and the rest of the coaches deserve a lot of credit for helping Katin post career bests in ORtg, OR%, TORate and FTRate during his senior season. From the Wisconsin game on, he shot 47-113 (41.6%) from three-point range, well above his career average.

I wouldn't be surprised to see similar improvements in Chartouny's offensive game.

Plus add to that three top guys off the bench that played very significant roles as Frosh last year who will all be expected to make big jumps as Sophs this year.

3 things:

1. Herman Cain, good thought on Paschal also being from Fordham. Neither were transcendent players (defined their team) but very good on their own.

2. As all the comments really imply...Chartouny gets to focus on what he does best...steal and dish.  Our team is loaded with scoring talent...He gets to do his best stuff all the time.

3. When can we stop calling him by his last name. Matt, Ed, Sacar, Sam, Markus....why not "Joe"?.... I know what you're thinking but we'll be calling him "Joey"

note: "JC" might also work but I avoid reserve that for someone else :)

I see Joe being the starter from the beginning of the season.  It's obvious what the team's been missing the last few season, and Wojo won't be timid about using the answer right away.

Joe seem to have a high BB IQ (from what I read).  He is a senior with the experience of playing as the marked man and accepting that pressure.  I think Wojo feels the Big East stage will not be anything that Joe can not handle.  Anyways I hope Joe has a few SOTG awards this coming season.

Personally, I think Joe starts but could be wrong. I personally see a starting lineup of:

PG1: Joe
PG2: M2N
SF: Sammy
PF: Ed
C: Heldt

With Joey as the first man off the bench getting more minutes than Heldt. Minutes are going to be tricky this season. Greg, Sacar, and Cain are really going to have to battle to earn time.
Title: Re: Dodds on Chartouny
Post by: bilsu on August 14, 2018, 04:59:15 PM
Wojo wants all of his guards to be able to initiate the offense as a point guard.
Marcus is going to start and at times will be the point. Who starts at the other two guard spots is the question. Anim is the best defender, but I believe he will have to fight to keep his starting job. He has a lot of competition for the small forward/guard spot. Elliot, Cain Sam, Bailey or Joey could all end up at the three. Depending on who starts we may not have that much offense. Matt, Anim and Chartouny would leave us with only two shooters in the lineup. Morrow may be the best rebounder, but I do not know how much offense he actually brings to the table. Cain can shoot and he has the speed to guard at the three. How good of a defensive player he is remains to be seen. I think we need three shooters in the starting lineup. Sam is a great shooter, but he is not an aggressive player on offense. We need a third shooter to get Sam open.
Title: Re: Dodds on Chartouny
Post by: Herman Cain on August 14, 2018, 05:20:52 PM
I think it is too early to really tell what the distribution of minutes is.

We have 4 guys who are athletic, competitive and tough and exemplify what Big East basketball is traditionally all about those being Theo, Jamal, Elliott and Sacar.

We have two guys who are nationally elite shooters in Markus and Sam.

We have two solid inside guys in Heldt and Morrow, both of who have the experience and size to compete in the Big East

We have a grad newcomer who has a solid overall skill set and is a plus defender in Chartouny.

We have two super skilled freshman with size in Joey and B Bailey.

We have an athletic specimen coming off surgery in Ike.


My guess at this point is the rotation goes 9 or 10 deep with minutes distributed somewhat similar to the way they were in 2016-17, where extended  minutes where given to those who were doing well in each game. The best players in practice will be the starters.

If Chartouny is as good on defense as his reputation suggests, a nickname along the lines of "The Glove" (Gary Payton) would also be a good fit.

Maybe "The Flash" for his instincts and quick jump to intercept passes? "The Tornado" for causing chaos with the other team's offense? "The Shadow" for guarding players close?

Any of those would be miles better than "The Wino."

I realize there are folks here who can't handle the slightest bit of criticism of the program or the Scooper crowd, but repetition is not very convincing. And how we choose to spend our energy is nobody's business but our own. 9,000 posts on a college basketball site seems like a weird use of energy to me, but hey- its a free country.
You can have the last word.

I usually have to take a little nap after doing it.

The flash, shadow, or tornado would be 1000x worse and indescribaly gaer than the wino

There's zero need to use a slur on sexual orientation to make your objection clear. To each his own.

IMO, "The Wino" is both lazy and dumb. "Chartouny" only vaguely resembles "chardonnay." And I can think of no universe in which "wino" (defined as a person addicted to wine, especially a derelict) is a nickname anyone would want. Would "The Heroin Junkie" be a good nickname for Tyler Herro?

Joseph "Vintage" Chartouny would be a much better nickname if you want to connect his last name to "chardonnay."

It was a bad comparison and I called you on it and I explained why. And you reacted by using energy to write a post questioning why anybody would use energy to post here. Outstanding.

Fortunately for him, his spelling ignorance helped mask his social ignorance.

Oh, boy...the collective sensitivity of Scoop.

"The Wino" has its origins back to his recruitment when few posters could, and then became would as a board joke, be able to spell Joe's name correctly, so then it became "Chardonnay".  This is similar to "O'Tule" or "Dewayne" or "Davonte" or "O'Neal" or "Heyward".  Frankly, this board has a spelling problem.

Yes, calling him "Wino" it is both lazy and dumb, but so is continually misspelling our multi year player's or coach's names.

Thanks for setting me straight, though.  One simple ask: change your handle.  It is spelled "Markus", not "Marcus".

Frankly, "Lazy and Dumb" should be Scoop's tagline.

To me, it's less about sensitivity than the fact that it's a terrible nickname. Apologies if I've overanalyzed things. I'd simply hate for "The Wino" to stick as a nickname.

I've been Marcus92 on MUScoop since 2012. Didn't change it for Markus Howard, Quentin Grimes, Joseph Chartouny or any other player. Not changing it now.

Thanks, no apologizes needed. Sometimes (often times) I post things for effect. In this case, "The Wino" is so out there, no one else would honestly repeat it.  But, it may cause posters to pause and look up the spelling of his name or wonder who that refers to and learn a little bit about him and maybe post it here.

Fair enough on the Marcus moniker.  I remember now that is your name.

I should probably then brace myself for the "JC isn't as good as I thought he was" - type posts when he has a couple off games to start the year.

Hope everyone braced themselves.
