Interesting guy. From Gaithersburg. Career overall 42% shooter, but that drops to 30% from 3, and he’s a woeful FT shooter, at 59% for his career (and he’s a guard!!). Now, otoh, he averages 6 boards and 2 steals a game.

Are we trading Skerry for him?😆

Career 41% overall shooter. Drops to 34% from 3. Career 65% FT. Career 8.8 ppg. Hard pass, imho. I get doing due diligence, but some of these guys we’re expressing interest in are head scratchers.

Are kids averaging 15 a game lining up to transfer to Towson?

That’s kinda like saying “we’ll never stop drug dealing and murders, so why bother even investigating such crimes.”  Or, put another way, “you miss 100% or the shots you don’t take.” Point is, you try. You don’t settle for mediocrity. Wasn’t Holden a guy who averaged 14-15ppg at UT-Martin?

Holden, Nolan and Rizzuto averaged solid numbers before we got them. Holden was nearly 15 and 8 so it’s possible that you can get a successful low major to come here

Honestly, Bo Montgomery's numbers last season weren't that bad. I don't look at career numbers because you think these guys get better (just like Timberlake) as they mature. Shooting 43% from the field and 34% from three-point range, I know it seems like Nygal Russell, but 37% from 3pt the year before. More concerned with 66% free throw shooting though he only got to the line 68 times in 32 games. If a guy is not a great shooter, you'd like to see him get to the line. Either way, we're looking (not even offering) a ton of guys. I don't think you just "look" at the perfect player, who shoots 45% of more from the field and 38% or more from 3pt. Not many of those guys are available. 

Now Dontrez Styles is a different story. Definitely a long shot but 6-6, 210 small forward. You can move him to 4 at times and play May with him. Only averaged around 5 minutes for UNC last season as a sophomore, but played a decent amount in the NCAA Tourney last season as a freshman.

 
The 6-foot-6 Kinston native played sparingly in two seasons with the Tar Heels. The sophomore is best known for his contributions in the 2022 NCAA Tournament as a freshman. Styles averaged 7.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 19.5 minutes against Marquette and Baylor in March Madness. He averaged 1.4 points per game in two seasons, appearing in 30 games as a freshman before playing 15 as a sophomore.

Kam Woods (17.3ppg, 3.7apg, 34% 3pt) and r-freshman Chase McDuffie (6-5, 210), who played sparingly last season are in the portal from NC A&T.
