2026 Transfer Portal Wishlist

[BM1090]

Looked at game logs in reverse order on Steven's. Still see him as 4 - 8 rotation player. The one area that could elevate him would be better 3 pt shooting, recipient of drive and kick passes.

I sat pretty close in 2 games and he got cooked on D from lack of speed. Hopefully off season workouts help him w strength, skills, speed. If he is a rotational player, that likely means we are a pretty good team.

He shot 37.5% from three on over 4 attempts per game as a freshman. In conference, he shot 41.9% on 4.65 attempts per game. 5th best in the Big East.

He also is one of our best defenders.

I feel like a lot of Scoopers don't actually watch Marquette basketball games...

Hard to reconcile:

"I misread the game logs that I had to look at to see how he did scoring to I watched him get cooked on defense"

That was my thought exactly!  If for one second Captain Quette (or anyone else) read that Stevens scored in double figures in just 2 games down the stretch of the season, AND BELIEVED IT, they either have cognitive decline or simply did not watch the games.

Stevens, James and Parham were our 3 best players from mid Jan on.  None of their starting jobs are in jeopardy.

Ehh, not sure I can agree on Stevens either being one of our best 3 or having his starting job not in jeopardy.

(Chase is at least in the first discussion; multiple others potentially in the other).

And, to save you from having to look it up:  MU did win some games near the end of the season (including NCAA runner-up UCONN), and did not finish last in the BIG East.

One is data review, though done quickly and erroneously, the other is in person viewing. Easy to reconsile.

He may be one of OUR best defenders but he is not a good defender. Easily beat off the dribble and slow to rotate. This is an easy take. Say what you want.

Nah that was the first half of the season when AS was scoring in double figures still.

Looking at freshmen at MU:

"Looking at just past Marquette players, Stevens posted the 5th highest BPR since 2014, and the 2nd best under Shaka. Whether he got rewarded or not, there is no denying Adrien's impressive campaign and bright future. He's a key component of the exciting core MU has found the last 3 months with Nigel and Royce."

I based my opinion on faulty research, but now I'm gonna double-down thanks to the eye test.

Relative of Minnesale?

[Hards Alumni]

Agree we need shooting, good call. Looked at some tape on Minnesale and he can score, not sure about his 3pt shooting. Overall great signing by Shaka.

On Steven's, I checked out his game logs and he scored in double figures in only 2 out of his last 22 games. He struggled against good competition. Not writing him off at all as he shoot 37% from 3 and played well, for a freshman. I just don't see above average athleticism, speed, skills that makes me think he is a starter on a good team. If could make that jump in year 2, we all hope.

You're crazy.
