So has Lockett picked MU?

So has Lockett picked MU?

GOOD QUESTION

GOOD QUESTION

HE CAN'T PICK ANY SCHOOL UNTIL HE IS DONE AT ASU.

[THEultimateWARRIOR]

HE CAN'T PICK ANY SCHOOL UNTIL HE IS DONE AT ASU.

Thanks for the clarification I was wondering this.

[GGGG]

HE CAN'T PICK ANY SCHOOL UNTIL HE IS DONE AT ASU.

Well, he can unofficially.  (See Russell Wilson at UW last year and David O'Brien this year.)

[esotericmindguy]

Right, but probably in bad taste before semester ends and transfer is announced.

And PTM, aren't some jokes off limits? Hate to be a prude but pretty sacrelig.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Lockett is down to MU and ISU under most indications.  Too bad Bo didn't allow ISU to sign UW's transfer out.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Has anyone ever actually seen this guy play?  I realize he was king turd of the  septic tank that is ASU basketball...doesn't automatically mean he'll be able to do the same things here.  Just curious as i had never heard of him prior to this thread and have never seen him play.

If you think that is offensive, you are a prude, and you probably enjoy being one.

I mean, it's a little larger than I would like.

Dude is pretty good. He would start. If you can get him, you do. It's not like he was putting those numbers up in the SWAC.

[THEultimateWARRIOR]

The optimistic view I have is that he will excel with a better supporting cast around him and a much better coach. You never know who's going to succeed in Buzz's uptempo game. He could breakthrough into a game changer.

I don't know...was the Pac-12 that much better than the SWAC last year? 

[Henry Sugar]

Lockett's efficiency wasn't very good last year.  He was an average efficiency player (100).

Most of this seems to be because he coughs the ball up too much (25%).  Of course, ASU as a team was one of the worst in the country at protecting the ball, so perhaps some of this is scheme.  As an additional plus, his eFG% is very strong, his steals rate is high, and he gets to the line at a high rate.

The best comparable I can find is Dwight Buycks with better defense and ability to draw the foul, but not as good a passer/assist man.

*If* he shows up, my hope is that Buzz's emphasis on protecting the ball translates into higher efficiency numbers.

Sug, do you think his efficiency would increase with a reduced usage rate? Easier for him to protect the ball if he doesn't have it, and/or isn't the one trying to create offensively.

The eFG% is exciting to me, as I think MU could use an efficient scorer for next year.

He's obviously polished, but that low(er) efficiency rate most likely had to do with trying to force. I'll admit I have never seen him play, but he seems to be best attacking the basket, making him an excellent candidate to play off the wing in MU's offense.

Or maybe he doesn't think that line should be drawn.  Doesn't everyone have a different line?  Let's be tolerant of all people's views, right?  Not just the ones you agree with.

Hes visiting MU today and tomorrow. Hopefully Buzz can lock this up.

What I am getting at is that if he finds that offensive he should probably disconnect his internet and move to Montana.  Everyone may have those own line, but if we are to try to respect everybodys line then we should throw humor and jest out the window.

Perhaps you two might find a tea party with the other no-fun-niks. ;-)
