[vtshocker]

Looks like there is interest in this player
conference player on the year. Appears to be good at defense too

A lot to like here. Have to caveat due to competition but

• 38% from 3
• A LOT of FT draw - 7.5 a game 241 total- shooting 80%. 8 games last year drawing double digit FT
• Decent A/TO - 3.8/2.4
• Fairly consistent even against the better teams
  • 17 pts, 5 asst, 1 TO vs us
  • 17 pts, 5 asst, 1 TO vs VCU
  • 15 pts vs Tennesse (but 6 TO)
  • Bonus points for dropping 31 on Illinois state including 15-17 from the FT line

Still kinda high TO overall though. and only ~40% overall from the field

Might be the best overall PG we've been interested in (assuming McBride is more of a 2)

Had 17/5/5 against us this season. Might have been the best player on the court. I said he didn't belong at Norfolk at the time (may go back and check the game thread to see if I commented at the time, probably not as I was at the game).

Dude can play.

Looks like a good option if McBride is off the table or beyond our reach. I would get him ASAP and not wait around for McBride (if that is even a an option at this point).

Game thread.... Kung Wu said " That one Norfolker was pretty good."


I compared Thomas to a poor man's Allen Iverson. I stand by my assessment.

In the game thread you said:

"#6 Thomas reminded me a little of a very poor man's AI."

I was also impressed:

"That one Norfolker was pretty good."

lol

This .. if this guy is an option, you get it and don't wait for McBride.

One time I remember suggesting our Coaches to be closely watching our foes best players very closely for future reference. It looks possible they and Penny already thought of that?

Good Video .. in the assist section .. 90% of those were passes we didn't make a single time this year

So who is anyone wanting the most of these 3 guards we seem to be interested in?
