Can shoot the three, very good passer for a 5 (3.8 apg) okay rebounder at 6.6 rpg-think Ezewiro-but not a rim protector with only 0.7 bpg.

CenHudDude Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 A little slow, but he gets up and down the court and has a lot of attributes as the posters above have mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 He makes the offense go. It's a great system but you need a 5 man like him to make it work even when he doesn't have a great individual game MusicCityBilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today I saw him in person, and every time he touched the ball I felt like I was in a wax museum. Dude is seriously sloooooow. He definitely has some all around skills, but I wasn't super impressed either. Kinda reminds me of Vouyoukas with better ball handling. Tucker DeVries is a straight up dog. Total gangster. If AJ Green from Northern Iowa made the League, this guy is definitely going to get some playing time. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expands the pool of players from which he can recruit. CenHudDude, MusicCityBilliken and GoSluBills like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Avila has achieved near mythical status, which I think is currently above his pay grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Indiana State NET is 26, they're quad one 1-3, q2 4-1, q3 10-0, Q4 12-1 That's respectable, probably good enough. Jerry Palm has them predicted as 11 seed. Edit: He said on CBS Sports they're probably out as they only have that 1 Q1 win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give U of Minnesota the exact same resume and they get a 4 seed. slufan13, BLIKNS and ACE like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
