he has potential to improve it but looking at those games he's not much better than Garrison.
You’re kidding, right? Garrison has none of those post up moves that end up with a banked in layup.
Garrison is more athletic but doesn’t know how to use it.

we were talking about 3pt shooting. His in the paint ability is definitely better

LOL. Pope moved on from Alvaro because he didn’t think he was athletic enough for the sec . Evidently he believes this guy is.
This kid has four years of eligibility compared to Folgueiras having two. I know you can’t count on getting all four years, but it’s still a better investment. Especially if Pope feels he is physically more prepared for the SEC.

I think he will go pro in one or two years

I definitely see a scenario that this guy can have draft prospect if we play well

Where did you get this info? When did Pope say that Alvaro wasn't athletic enough for the SEC? We just making stuff up at this point? LMAO

Because he never said that.

It wasn't a direct quote from Pope but it did come from reliable sources.

We've seen how "reliable sources" have worked out this offseason.

I mean if you disagree you disagree. Not worth arguing about.

Yeah , I’m sure you know more than them , lol .
@DraftCat and @yoshukai are correct. Alvaro would have committed over a week ago. Was placed on hold. Now we know why.

If he’s hanging around after 2 then he’s a bust. Is dioubate the odds on favorite to start at the 4 until JQ is healthy? I think JQ will be our 4 with garrison starting center. We don’t have a true stretch 4. Probably adjusting to a stronger defense. Would be nice to have one more big body with a big roster. A project who is happy to get minutes taking fouls. Man that’s a powerful front court

Garrison/moreno
JQ/dioubate/AJ

Looks a bit slow to me just like the foreign player AR got.
We will have to see how they match up against the athleticism of players here.

Yeah, like not losing.
Pope had 6 players over 20 minutes, 2 over 17 minutes and 4 at 10-14 minutes. He said he played some to much due to injury. It will be hard to get 13 players adequate minutes if he doesn’t platoon.
I think they should play more like Pitino back in the day were it full court non stop(JMO).

I think Pope plays his players to win. I think cow played his players to make some happy and for appearances.
