Sacar Anim

Welcome Sacar.  I work about 200 yards from DeLasalle.  Gonna have to catch one of his games down the stretch.

Marquette is getting a long, athletic slashing wing that's a great on-ball defender in @Sacar_Anim15. Nice addition for #mubb.

Is 6'3" really considered "long"? I thought that was fairly average in today's game.

Welcome Sacar.  I work about 200 yards from DeLasalle.  Gonna have to catch one of his games down the stretch.

It seems that DeLasalle produces some top talent.  Can you tell us a about the high school.

For an Off topic Question: I see that the school is located very close to the Mississippi... does it flood?  

I see the Milwaukee Journal has already posted a nice little article:

Is 6'3" really considered "long"? I thought that was fairly average in today's game.

He is listed at 6'5" with a 6'8" reach from what I read.  Take those number for what they are, just an indication of height and length.

Length usually refers to wingspan.  So 6-3 player with a 6-8 wing span is long but a 6-3 player with a 6-3 wingspan isn't long.

[AZWarrior]

So I've seen him listed at 6'3", 6'4" and 6'5" so far....

I grew up in the Twin Cities, but played and followed hockey until I went to MU and never really knew much about DeLaSalle as they are one of the few schools in the area that doesn't have a HS hockey program. I don't watch much HS basketball in MN, so JB may be able to give you more in-depth info on the school, but they're generally a basketball powerhouse in AAA (smaller schools).  They've won the state tourney three years in a row, but their division doesn't include the large public schools. It does produce some top talent - Reid Travis a top 50 recruit who went to Stanford was a senior there last year.  Also Jarvis Johnson, a MN recruit, is a current teammate of Sacar.

The school is literally on on island in the Mississippi...hence their mascot being the Islanders. However Hennepin Avenue (essentially the main city street in downtown Mpls, think Wisconsin Avenue) dissects the island, and is the entry road to the school.  You probably wouldn't know you were on an island unless someone told you.

I live in Rochester and have crossed Nicollet Island many times - even stayed at the Nicollet Island Inn once for a work retreat - but I never had a clue DeLaSalle was on the island.  I drove right past it just last weekend.  Sacar probably decided to commit when he sensed MU fans in the vicinity.

[Stretchdeltsig]

So how tall is he?  I read 6'5".

You could have thrown a rock on top of the school from the Nicollet Island Inn if you don't throw like a girl.

Kinda dangerous though, especially since I was driving.  And I'm a lefty, so I might've had to twist kind of funny.

Still, it'll conjure up a funny image next time I cross over....

Who is better, Anim or Nick at this stage?  It looks like Anim has a higher upside?  Any thoughts?

In my opinion based on limited exposure to either, Nick is more talented but Anim has his head on much straighter and is a hard worker.

Is there a pronouciation guide for his name anywhere in these 14 pages?

That's quite the skilled player list to be associated with. Noticed Haanif on there as well. Has Wojo been using advanced stats?

[mr.MUskie]

So I've seen him listed at 6'3", 6'4" and 6'5" so far....   

And as a wing and a guard.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Welcome to the family Sacar!

[wadesworld]

And as a wing and a guard.

Shooting guards are wings.
