dense His numbers dipped in the last six weeks of the season, I hope you're right though. I've seen him play several times, he's a good player but as we saw with Dingle from Penn making the jump to the BE isn't easy. We can use Ashworth from Creighton as another example I mean if it was an arm injury sure or even an ankle I'd question it but Mono is a soul zapping thing. I'm sure he didn't really work out at all during it to the level to play Div 1 hoops so I'm sure he hit a wall at the end. Kinda logical given the condition. Well in regards to his ability to step up... Harvard didn't have a very tough OOC schedule and huge names but... He scored 32 at UMass, 18 versus BC and had 27 against Indiana...Harvard's 3 toughest OOC opponents... That's while still also averaging 5 assists and all of this before his illness...

Statistically, Mack would have been our best guard on offense. His O rating (efficiency) was 106.5, and that was on very high usage and shot taking. His assist rate was 33.3% which coincidentally was also 33rd highest in all of Division I. He also was one of the best guards in not fouling (only 2.1 fouls per 40 minutes), yet he draws a ton of fouls, gets to the line a lot, and he shoots FT at a very high 81% rate. Others will need to comment on whether they think he can sustain that play at the Big East level.
His conference numbers are actually significant worse than his OOC numbers when it comes to efficiency. But perhaps that's because of the ilness?

Probably because the coach left. Great story with this kid, overcoming cancer.

200 follower account. Talking "possible fits" Great add to the thread. Is there a Russian bot you could throw in the mix as well?

Griffiths looked pretty good against the Hoyas. Crafty game and can hit the 3, although his shooting numbers overall last season weren't very good. I'm actually glad to not see G'Town on this list. He's a SF/PF, and we have Styles here with Caleb and Drew McKenna coming in. I also don't want to see anyone coming in the door that might affect Fielder's playing time. I want to see him getting at least 18-20 minutes per game next year (minimum). I also firmly believe in the McKenna hype, so I think he's definitely going to be seeing a fair bit of floor time in the 3/4 spot (the 4 spot obviously depends on what lineup the opposing team has on the floor). I think the 2 Drew's have serious upside to them, so I don't want too many guys coming in that might dig into their PT.
I'm assuming Drew will be playing the 4 a bit next year, when teams are playing bigger lineups. If we have Supreme, Fielder and Sorber next year, that likely only leaves 1 spot open in the frontcourt (although I know G'Town has been said to be looking for 2). That number might be dependent on what happens with Supreme, does he enter the portal or not? The guy we bring in has to be a stud, and I would be disappointed if the guy we bring in is a Gavin Griffiths type.

Would love him but he is a sophomore so I don't know how it would work with Fielder and Sorber.

Interesting player, can definitely score. Stats make him seem like the MAC's answer to Jayden Epps. High volume guy who shot 28.9% from 3fg and 74.0% from ft, 2.6 assists per game vs. 2.6 turnovers per game. Seems like a good fit if Epps leaves but hard to imagine those two guys on the same team. Hill has better size than Epps, likely a better defender.

He would be a perfect fit with a Sorber
