that lineup would be sick but would have Mag starting over Sommerville!!! Sub in Simpson, JMike, GG and Somerville
They might actually have a real bench next year. With Cliff returning they also would not have to try and find a big man in the portal. I don’t think he returns but would welcome Cliff and his roughly double-double per game along with his impact to opponent shots in the paint.
He would be foolish not to return
It'll be easy for Cliff to find a roster spot overseas. Many countries allow only two Americans per team. Cliff is not an American. Hence, receiving a roster spot and a decent financial offer from a few teams is highly likely.
Woolf and Chol would be “moving on” in this case. Palm could still be the Swedish microwave-chef off the bench. Is Dylan hitting currently threes at a 40% clip?
Not sure where this Dylan Harper is a great shooter is coming from. He has made 28 3s in 22 games in HS.
Early on, we were assured that Cliff was gone after this
You could argue that the additions of Dylan and Ace will help his game enough to get a more serious look by the NBA. On the other hand, he'll be another year older.
2024 | Davis | 7 | 27 | 25.9% |
2024 | Griffiths | 18 | 76 | 23.7% |
2023 | Simpson | 13 | 60 | 21.7% |
2022 | Jones | 7 | 30 | 23.3% |
2019 | Harper | 30 | 108 | 27.8% |

2019 | Mathis | 16 | 67 | 23.9% |

I trust Ace and Dylan’s #s to better reflect HS and AAU just because they’re more familiar with HM athleticism.
made FT, 2 FG and 3FG are 100% accurate. Everything else is up in the air.I've only seen Dylan live twice, but he can most definitely fill it up from deep if he wants to. He was warming up and hitting at a high clip from nba type range. Great looking stroke too.
He's just soooooooooo good and getting all the way to the rim and finishing or getting fouled he can do that at will so he doesn't need to shoot threes at that high of a clip. He was going through two or three guys from that great Camden team last year.
Also I'm not sure we can treat those stats as law lol they have Dylan with more FTs MADE than attempted on the season lol. 96 made on 95 attempts. That's will definitely help our FT rankings next year
So going in to freshman year you would have expected Ace and Dylan to be freshman shooters than Gavin?
Before I saw Griffiths this year I wouldn't have. But after seeing Griffiths play, just knowing what to do while out there gives them an advantage. Being able to move freely with the basketball gives them an advantage, their body types and defensive abilities give them an advantage. Shooting, you never know but I'm confident they will shoot at least as good as Griffiths is shooting this year, most likely better. But again, you never know, I thought Griffiths would come in as an elite shooter; that hasn't come to fruition. I also hadn't seen as much of Griffiths as I've seen ace and dyl against elite competition. Didn't see Griffiths against good competition at all come to think of it. He probably needs another year to adjust to these types of opposing teams. Ace and Dylan have been playing against big time players for years now.
Look, if the guy is a 101% FT shooter I have to believe he will be effective from three point range as well.I've only seen Dylan live twice, but he can most definitely fill it up from deep if he wants to. He was warming up and hitting at a high clip from nba type range. Great looking stroke too.

IMNSHO. It isnt the competition they play against it is the adjustment to playing both ends of the court. I shoot a basketball a lot better with my heart rate at 100 vs. 125. Huge difference.
I agree, doubt they've played a game that will be as competitive as an NCAA game. You never know with shooting so we shall see..
I have my doubts if the nj.com stats you linked are accurate or complete. Many of the games just list a "--" for 3-pointers and even assists, and they only list Dylan as having 18 assists ALL SEASON through those 22 games.
only reliable data
YES.
Do you have the full box score from the game? If so, you should be able to confirm whether 3*3pt made + 2*2pt made + ft made = points. If it does then it's probably accurate.
How do you know any of those stats are "reliable"? There's no way he has only hit 14 threes in all games other than the City of Palms games.
Presumably because you have to be recording the shots that are made in order to score the game. So those are certainly the most likely to be accurate.
Ace is DEFINITELY a volume 3 point shooter. He will fit right in with the NBA.
trust me 3 things are accurate which makes the 4th accurate...the book has 1,2, and 3s and fouls
What if I told you that the difference between 13/60 and 19/63 from three is not statistically significant?
I'm not a stat guy, there are a bunch of fans who are obsessed with it for some reason to denigrate Simpson. I was just pointing out that 13 3s for a season vs potentially doubling that amount and improvements by almost 10%, is "something ".
