Will be his fourth college in four years. I wonder how many of his credits have transferred??
Another mid player who can’t shoot. Sha’s socialist model reigns supreme. Here comes 0 for 5 under his leadership. Terrible
Get Larry Davis on the phone.
Not a bad signing I guess. Definitely is a super high energy player who can catch fire offensively and push the pace. Is he considered a good defender does anyone know who reads these advanced metric websites?

He was a role player at Xavier. Does not shoot the 3 well.
I hope he works on his game this summer, particularly perimeter shooting.

Not a bad depth piece who can give versatile minutes at the guard positions. Definitely a way better outside shooter than Clark who was afraid to take a 3 all year and doesn’t even look comfortable doing it.

The thing is Clark knew he was a bad 3 point shooter and did not take many. That was good. The problem is when you have kids who suck at 3 point shooting and keep shooting them and take you right out of the game because of it.
I’m dying… 297 from 3 for his career!
The more things change… Mike Williams II.

Anderson does not “suck at 3Pt shooting.” He shot over 30% last year. He has good form and confidence. That means he’s effective enough to force opposing defenses to not leave him wide open and that helps our offense because they can’t sag. And all our guards can go off the dribble. This isn’t a bad signing.
Clark was legitimately sucky at it and never attempted threes and other teams knew it and that hurt us because they knew his only way to score was to go off the dribble (which he was still pretty good at later in the season).
Put it this way. If Anderson hypothetically started for us this year and got the same minutes as Williams did last season, I think he puts up better numbers. And I would have taken Williams back this season.
(Note: I DONT think he will or should start, just using it for comparison to what we had last year)

Wait, isn't this portal acquisition wrong? Where are all those who were complaining about Uconn taking a guy from a school in the same conference?
Why is Simpkins included?
I'd go Wilcher, Jones, Anderson.
If I did include Simpkins, it would go Wilcher, Simpkins, Jones, Anderson.
30% doesn't suck as the average in all of minor league basketball is 34%.
Below 30% is getting to the suck area.
1. Wilcher
2. Simpkins/Jones
4. Anderson

4. Anderson
Yea suck land is where Clark, Parker, Fisher lived last year. Around 22%. Nobody should be crying about a player who can shoot over 30%
It's not stange. Shooters cost money. Size cost money. We don't have the money to get what we really need. So until we and the school do a better job getting donations Holloway has to cobble a roster as he did last year.
I feel everyone's grief, but complaining is not going to help the cause.

If average is 34% than anything less than that is in suck territory as far as I am concerned. That is my opinion and if kids are close to 30% that will be a problem when you are facing a team that knocks them down as part of their offense. We got burned in those games this past season.
Maybe but they did not take a lot of them so they did not really hurt us. They attempted well less than 2 a game.
Well Simpkins, Williams, and McCray all shot over 30%. So Anderson is basically on par with that, so I just don’t think it’s a huge point to cry over.
I’d be a lot more concerned about having a coach that can generate our players open shots through having a legitimate offensive plan.
Anderson shot 31% last year and is a career under 30% 3 point shooter. He is NOT on a par with those 3 who shot at 37%, 34% and 33%.
The view from some was that it is OK unless it is a top/star player. So Corey Floyd, Posh Alexander, Wusu, Big Vince, etc were all OK. Only 2 intra-league transfers were the product of sinister dark arts and scandalous, coincidentally to the same team and coach. That was the distinction on here though.
And then Hines happened involving the HC that apparently would never do it.
Seems we could definitely afford "shooters" from lower leagues, but those "shooters" would come without the athleticism, size and/or defensive ability that Sha wants from every spot on the floor. So not willing to make any tradeoff there, either.
If we are just comparing last season's numbers (which is what you did with the other three), then they are in the neighborhood. Simpkins is notable higher.
Let's not split hairs and make a molehill out of it. The point is he's capable, not "sucky" as you put it.
I watched a good amount of Xavier games last year and this is NOT a bad pickup for bench depth from the guard position.
