The sooner we can get the whole team together, the better. 100% agreed. But have to think Thor may see the least minutes this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, Jimi (as well as Quincy Jones), went to Garfield High School in Seattle.kind of near Lake Washington. They must have had a heck of a music department. I heard Jimi could shoot the three, before there was a three. He was Johnny Allen Hendrix, before he went by Jimi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ingvi will be a much better shooter than his European stats indicate. He was shooting from a further line, and if the FIBA Europe U20s were any indication, he did not have much scoring help. The other teams’ defenses were totally keyed in on him. As a (probable) fifth scoring option, I think he will get a lot of open looks as other teams are focused on our top scorers. I could be way wrong, of course, but I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see him shoot around 37-40% from beyond the arc this year. On a team without a ton of outside shooters, that would be huge.

kshoe Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Coaches don't always have perfect flexibility to take players in the order they want but Thor committed to SLU before Hankton did. Hankton really only came aboard because of a sick grandmother. One can infer, without knowing with certainty, that Ford valued Thor more than Hankton. Doesn't mean we know which will be better but it's an indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not fair to assume Thor is more valued by Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsgo Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 18 minutes ago, wgstl said: Dont doubt it, but unless I saw wrong, didnt Hankdog have a better 3 pt % Probably, but again, look at the competition. Thor was playing against professionals and national teams. I admittedly don’t know much about the level of competition Hankton faced, but I would assume it was a lower level. Keep in mind, in the FIBA Euro u20s in 2016, Davidson’s Jon Axel Gudmundsson shot only 19.4% from beyond the arc. Ingvi shot a bit better than that this year, at 26.8%. I think we would all happily take Jon Axel on our team. Not saying Ingvi will be him- just showing his European stats don’t prove he won’t be a great shooter.
