Antonio Reeves SG from Illinois State, please

[RUreallygoingtoeatthat]

Is he an option? Does anyone know if he has been contacted? Seems like an offensive fit. We have the playing time, the national spotlight, the competition that will increase in NBA profile. Will he play Rutgers-style defense?

 

[Scangg]

His stats improved every year which is nice to see

 

[GM]

He’s very good, but I doubt we have many connections to him and I suspect he will be a prime target for many high majors. But maybe if we do give him the lead creator role he’d consider us.

I read an article where he has already had himself vetted for NBA draft, so he could have himself vetted, work on aspects of game that scouts identified as weaknesses. So he has ambition, wants to get better. I haven't read any articles that indicate who has reached out to him. I want to know more about him. Sessoms, Reeves, Mulcahy, Mag/Hyatt, Cliff as starting 5, with Depeche Mode at Stretch 4 off bench, Quinn as backup C. Add a Jalen Miller who is allowed/confident enough to try to shoot (hopefully doesn't have Ben Simmons Syndrome), Oskar as a backup SF, maybe Reggie Luis commits or we get Klintman or another commit unforeseen?

I definitely would like to see Sessoms as primary ballhandler instead of Mulcahy.

Depeche Mode? Lol Is that a known player nickname? By process of elimination I guess that's Dean

Yes. Me and my buds have nicknames for some of our guys and opponents. Dean was recruited, with early 70s Robert Plant hair, then freshman year went 80s New Wave. Voila Depeche Mode!

I always liked my friend's nickname for RHJ ... Yodels. (Because it seemed he was packing away too many Yodels in the offseason, couldn't slim down)

There was a playercon last years Iowa team with Garza that was killing us from perimeter... no idea what his name was so we called him The Dentist

I would also like to see Sessoms here. However, ball security is not his thing, by any stretch with the imagination. Mulcahy’s turnover assist ratio is almost twice as good. Still want him here to break down defenses and shoot.

I agree with you about Mulcahy and TO to A ratio. But I don't like how he sheilds the ball and backs his defender to top of key. Seems to be difficult to pass out of that posture, cuts of your vision. Great passer and vision, but I wonder if he backs his way over halfcourt because of feeling insecure about facing his defender?

That’s primarily due to Paul having so many assists. Paul’s TOV% is significantly higher.

They’re just different players but both would have a lot of value for us.

He was second in assists in the entire B1G this season. It doesn't matter how he does it. But he does it because he can. He's a tall guard who can see over his opponents. It's ball security for someone his size.

Depeche Mode. Lol. Love it ! I thought Reibers hairdue looked one of the hairdues of the Simple Minds.

Their turnovers per minute are almost identical; Paul‘s number is understandably high because of the number of passes he makes. That’s why the experts use the turnover/assist ratio as a measure.

It just doesn’t make sense to use turnover/assist in this case because they’re such different players. Paul’s would have to be lower unless he had significantly more turnovers just because of how many assists he has.

If it was a conversation about added value on offense then it would make more sense but since it’s a conversation about purely turnovers the TOV% or per minute make more sense.

Either way, I think they both add value for us and would love to have Sessoms.

He's a SF, NOT A PG!!!
