He appears to have better handles than Smith does. Sometimes it seemed we lacked that extra ball-handler.

Originally posted by jocoshock View PostNot sometimes. Frequently. Was our biggest shortcoming in the UK game. SHJ is a major get in that department alone.
Smith was also a highly-touted JuCo guard. I'm excited to have both on campus to push each other over the next year.

Originally posted by shockmonster View PostThere is no reason to think that Smith won't be improved and a much smarter player next year. It usually happens that way if a juco is talented. God for us this year, we found Landry and Conner to build our back court around.

I;m convinced that what SJH lacks on-ball defense is technique, something that can be taught. His overall floor defense BBIQ is many levels above most at the JUCO games I've seen. I wish he were 6'4" with the same quickness, but alas... Cannot predict whether he can develop the FVV ability to get the ball up to the rim against D-1 defenders, but he seems to find a way to make the correct pass in traffic -- always a bonus."I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."

On a more related note, I have no real expectations on what we will get from SHJ, but I'd love another guy who can handle the ball. Can he drive to the basket well? I felt like we were kind of exposed there in the tourney minus Landry.

Next Seasons recruiting for 2018 will be attractive to recruits. By then, we should be in a better Conference and will have playing time which players are looking for. I'm wondering if we might find an experienced Transfer as we have done in the past more than once that would walk on as we groom him to our System and then sign for 2018? Dunno, but it could always be an option based on past tendencies.Last edited by forevershockerfan; March 23, 2017, 09:44 AM.Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.
