His size and length for the position is always why people have hyped him up since HS.

I always thought letting him leave was a big mistake. He wanted to stay but his injury, which he played with all year at SHU was a gamble that it might not heal in time for the coming season here.

Budd Clark played Jaseem Felton on opening night. Both players started. Budd got th every of him 17 & 6, Felton scored 6.

Simpkins had 15, 5, 5 off the bench in 32 mins.

Hines who didn’t start a single game for seton hall, started in his debut for UConn. 12 & 12 for the big man.

Mike Williams had 7 & 2 off the bench for Tulsa.

Payne did not play for New Mexico St. Not sure if he is eligible or what

Hines played 22 mins, averaged 18 last year, as a freshman with another center on the roster. This is a push, at best.

I get why Sha moved on though. After the 24-25 debacle, couldn't risk having a banged up Dual as the PG especially when we were able to land Budd.

I'm not sure I would even want Dual this year when we actually need a PG. I don't think any player was more frustrating to watch except for maybe Odukale. No offensive ability whatsoever. I don't get the obsession with supposedly great defensive players who are liabilities everywhere else.

"NBA prospect" = laughable

Again, do you not understand he played with one hand all year. He had a severely damaged right shoulder and needed surgery as soon as the season was over,

Even with that injury he was one of the best defensive guards in the league.

 

[PirateBlue08]

I know nothing about any injuries. Just know there’s not one thing I like about his game, when he was at Providence or here. Not my kind of player.

He averaged 8.4 points and shot 31% from 3 and only started half the time at McNeese.. he’s not good, move on.

Did you watch his defense during his time at SHU? Injured or not he was outstanding on that side of the ball.

Still recovering from his shoulder surgery He did not practice all year going into the season. That's why Holloway released him. He knew that Dual might struggle for one more year.

He's now healthy. Let's see how he plays.

 

[Piratz]

Def a great defender with the size and length at the guard spot. But that’s about it.

He couldn’t shoot at all. Had little if any ability to drive and finish at the rim. Little creation for others; more of a lateral PG who needed a pass motion offense.

He was healthy at Providence and was a tremendous disappointment

He struggled greatly on offense here. But he is right handed and had severe pain driving to the basket. Thus he couldn't finish.

I had shoulder problems and then surgery many years ago and it greatly affected my ability to use my right hand for quite some time.

 

[Halldan]

He was healthy at Providence and was a tremendous disappointment

Yes he was. Played terribly as a freshemen. But again he was a first year player in the Big East and that's difficult.

He's healthy now. Let's see what he does at Syracuse.
