mat1992 2,237 Report post Posted March 23, 2022 https://verbalcommits.com/players/gus-okafor Watching Okafor's sophomore highlights, he's more catch-and-shoot and a stretch 4 than he is a slasher. Didn't really see him put the ball on the floor and drive by guys. He's more of a 4/3 with along arms and a big body (6-6, 230). A few post up moves and uses the left hand well. If he came here, I guess Cam would move to the 3 or they would switch back and forth. We'd certainly be more athletic, but if you take Gibson out of the lineup, which is fine, then you need a point guard who can do it all. Playamker. Hit the 3 and drive to the cup. That will be tough to find. Because Timberlake would be the only consistent 3 point shooter with Thompson, Okafor and Holden up front. If Rizzuto returns, you have him and Gibson off the bench.

mat1992 2,237 Report post Posted March 23, 2022 Another undersized four on the market from Northern Iowa that can score, but not a great 3-point shooter that we're following. Two years left. Again, personally, I'd rather focus on a wing and a point guard who can finish at the cup, but if you can get a power forward who can play two seasons and is productive, it would be something to think of. Again, aside from will he fit personality-wise, will he fit basketball-wise. BTW, Cam's shooting to start the year before the mask, was much better from long range. He started out 13 of 28. He was shooting 42% from beyond the arc before the Navy game. https://verbalcommits.com/players/noah-carter https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4431923/noah-carter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,237 Report post Posted March 23, 2022 Mostly post ups last season. I don't see him as a high-major player, but is a mid-west guy. Interesting game and body type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
