Quote from: JTJ3 on Today at 03:25:41 PMI get the 3 point % concerns, but if thats the only thing youre looking at I would recommend watching him play first.  There is a reason there are NBA scouts going to St Thomas games.  He's a legit 6'5 with a 6'10+ wingspan.  Finishes well at the rim, handles and creates well enough to handle some PG duties and can really lock in and use his length to make an impact defensively.

His ability to create would take a ton of pressure off Nigel, who's our only legit creator right now.  I think we can all agree having a guy in Chases spot we can trust to make decisions handling the ball would have changed a lot of our games this season.

Projecting the shooting numbers to tick up a bit in a slightly reduced role here also wouldnt be surprising.

Not only reduced role, but (I haven't watch St. Thomas a ton) I imagine he would be getting a lot more open looks playing alongside Nigel. Nigel is going to command so much attention that having a shooter like Adrien and a slasher like Minessale could make for a pretty strong back court. Add Owens to that group and all of a sudden we have real depth again. It would be a good move, but can't be the only move!

Quote from: MUbiz on Today at 02:54:21 PMI do not understand the Minessale love on this board. MUBB already is stacked with wings and Minessale is a 29.4% 3 point shooter. I guess if we want a local kid who shoots sub 30% from 3, he is the guy.

I'm not sold on him being the answer but I'd definitely take him.

What wings do we have?

Stevens, Owens, Egbuonu who is really a mesh between wing and forward. Who else? None that must play as far as I can tell. Minessale would at least push Owens for a starting spot.

Center is by far the biggest need, but we need more than that.

Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 03:02:40 PMYeah I agree. Give me a starting center and a backup point guard. And then a wing or a shooter depth piece if we need a third scholarship filled.

100%. I want a Lamar Wilkerson type of guy - who can shoot 40% from 3. His xfer portal ranking was around 40 iirc. That is the type of guy I think we need to go after.

Says one half of the Scoop Sunshine Boys. You should try worrying. It's fun.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 02:17:02 PMI wouldn't blame the Bucks one iota for waiting until after the season.

I'd be fully onboard with that if Giannis will sit out. Unfortunately, I do not see that happening. A Dame-type of injury will make this a decade rebuild.

If you can afford to live in NJ, you can pony up too.
