This is a much, much different top 30 ranking

Is this his second visit?

After seeing Brian's post I'm curious what the computer thinks of Camren Hunter. Another player I'd love to see run through Wiz's computer is Seydou Traore. Let me preface this by saying I don't think he's coming to SLU. I believe I read somewhere that SLU had interest but not sure it's mutual. 3P shooting is rough but would hope that improves under a Schertz system (just a freshman). I really like this kid: 6'7 guard who averaged 12 points 8 rebounds 2 assists 2 steals and 1 block per a game as a freshman for Manhattan.

This is an awful edit.

If Schertz wants him I'm on board but think there are still some other guards on SLU's radar that would make Wiz's computer even happier. I think the staff still places value on rim protection and rebounding it's just our commitments thus far have been more guard heavy. We need guys like Cam Manyawu and Elijah Jones to make up their minds.

To win 1. score 2. score some more

On Mongo Mike...The computer gives a thumbs up....Even though most of the numbers don't compute. The only stat on his slash line that the computer thinks is valid is the 3P shooting...scoring him at a B+ and trending up. The rest of the slash is S3 (small sample size). The computer thinks that M2 could benefit from the CJS system by improving his 2P shooting which even with a small sample size is below average. It thinks the shot selection could push his 2P average up by having him shoot closer to the rim. By making that small change , he could become an A or B 2P shooter. The problem with just looking at the raw data when it is not a full sample size is that it just isn't meaningful...ie volatile (both up and down). @Bilzz made an interesting point on Kent(ISU)in an above post. Talking about how 2 years ago his numbers weren't impressive. The computer would argue that Kent's numbers weren't impressive not because the percentages were low but that there just weren't enough shots taken anywhere on the slash line to indicate what type player he was. Low data rates don't indicate good or bad ...they indicate an unknown. When you choose an unknown, it can go either way. With ISU , they had 5 starting unknowns. CJS strength is finding players who fit and can adapt to his system. Because you are dealing with unknowns, it won't always work out but in Schertz case, he has a pretty good record of evaluating talent for his system.

His advanced stats dramatically improved in just about everyway except for assist rate and free throw rate. As for the rim protection and defense in general, we just might have to accept the fact that those aren't the skills the staff places a super high value on.

He was a starter on a 22-11, NET 66 team in a competitive West Coast Conference. I don't see a down side here. But no he is not the rebounder nor rim protector I believe we still need.

I guess going from 1.5 turnovers/game to 1.4, a 2P% of .479 to .487 (attempts up by 1 just shot), and 2.6 assists to 2.7 are technically improvements. Freet throw % improved from 68% to 83% but that's a bit misleading, as his FT/FTA went from 0.7/1 to 0.8/1. Definitely more efficient 3P shooter in his second year. Wouldn't mind seeing Big Mike in a Schertz offense but would prefer some of the other guards currently linked to SLU over him. We need more rim protection and rebounding, especially in our S5.

Didn't the photo come through for you? I know there are some gremlins in the system.

Let’s go!!!! Maybe one of the last times we play UMass in anything. Good riddance!

He really improved his numbers last year in every possible way. Become a pretty efficient scorer, cut down on the turnover rate, improved his rebounding rate, improved his steal rate and kept a really nice assist rate while being a low usage rate guy. He definitely checks a lot of boxes for what Schertz wants to do offensively.

Stats aren't that impressive, especially when you compare them to the other guards currently linked to SLU, but it would be interesting to see how he does in a Schertz offense. Where'd that pic come from by the way?

Very good point, also look at the jump in FG% for Kent in his first year with Schertz compared to his second. It's striking. I will be interested to see what Kent does next year without Schertz. I think Mongolian Mike could be a very good fit.

So he went Dayton to San Francisco? In Schertz I trust.

I mean more general height, not necessarily hanging out under the basket. With a 3 heavy offense, you'll get some deeper rebounds and general height should help. Jayson Kent went from 2.9 and 2.1 rebounds per game his sophmore and junior years to over 8 last year.

-ACE, appropriate for a tennis thread

Dont let the height fool ya, he's not much of a rebounder.
