As I previously posted on the discussion about Joseph I would think that he would feel very comfortable in Wichita, Kansas with his Lebanese Heritage. We have a large, vibrant, successful and very well respected Lebanese community in Wichita incuding J.R. Simon and his grandparents, Dr. Sam and Jacque Kouri, who are the name sponsors of the Koch Arena Champions Club plus many, many others. He would have no problem finding some good Lebanese food in this town.

Watching his highlights he has that "yeah but he isn't very athletic in a Fred VanVleet kind of way" vibe to his game.

[Aargh]

Looks to have similar quickness to Reaves.

[60Shock]

A dribble penetrating guard who can lay it up either right or or left handed would be fantastic.

[Woodrow]

28% from 3?

[ShockTalk]

He was .382 from 3 as a sophomore, but, yes, pretty poor last year. He has had over 90 steals in each of the last 2 years. Compare that to the Shocks leaders of LS and CF both with 23 last year.

[ShockingButTrue]

His best trait...

[proshox]

He seems to excel in "4 out 1 in" sets... hopefully we run some in the future whether we get him or not!

[Topshock]

Noticed that also. Doubt he could get too and finish at the rim in our present offense.

[Dan]

I’d take this guy in a heartbeat

[choida]

I don't think Wichita State is desperate by any means and I think we have players who are willing to wait to make a decision because we are still trying to sign best available

[pinstripers]

Not quite yet, but we keep inching closer

[Steeleshocker]

I'm noticing a trend that many of these guards appear very handsy defensively. I think between this guy and the Robert Morris transfer they are looking for singe defensive stoppers to get back to our roots. Marshall may feel he has enough high volume scorers in guys lime Stevenson, Moore, Reaves, Udeze, and Duff. Now he wants defenders and penetrating guards who can facilitate.

[Dan]

I’m thinking Udeze will be better on D than O.

[Aargh]

I don't think this guy gets to the hoop nearly as well in the AAC as where he's playing now. I didn't see any defenders I'd refer to as "quick" on the drives to the hoop in the highlights.

[Ricardo del Rio]

Looks to have similar quickness to Reaves.

[Ricardo del Rio]

Audit please on his steal rate.

[ShockTalk]

Audit please on his steal rate.

I had looked at his game log from last year and he had 15 games where he had 4 or 5 steals and only 1 game at 0 steals.

Of course, his steal number of 97 last year and 94 the year before, pale to Ehab Amin's 124 in 2016-17 (he sat out last year with an injury). However, Chartouny's was against better overall competition IMO.

[ShockCrazy]

His career steal rate per possession is 5.2%, the highest single season we've ever had was Malcolm's 4.2%. And I would say the A10 compares fairly reasonably to MVC, so lets just say this kid can get after it defensively.

[ShockTalk]

Yeah, I was questioning Amin's, not Chartouny's steals. Although, it is fair to question his shooting.

[ShockCrazy]

Ah, his career rate is higher at 5.5%, and competition would probably have an impact. One thing I like to look at is if the team features many other defenders with high steal rates, which I think indicates systemic turnovers forced ie press, or strategic overplaying, but for Amin each season only had one other player over 3%.
