This. A specialist off the bench behind a guy like Ogbim. On a team that's a lot deeper and more dangerous running Pope's offense, he'd have much better numbers. He was forced to be a "chucker" as someone else put it. He'd be the Brea replacement for sure.

The guy has a very nice shot and seems to understand how to play the game, the fundamentals. At 6'6", he is about the same size as Robinson, and the same range. He did score 40 against Bama, and 51 against another team. UK hasn't had anyone score near that amount.
You don't "replace" Brea with a 36% 3 point shooter. His role would obviously be a little different.
Me either, we need the best talent. I want absolute studs like Kadary Richmond last year. Butler, Jax level guys at least.
Braden smith for all those who didn’t want him…. We should definitely get him if he’s available.You’ve already proven you know nothing about talent evaluation when you posted this gem about Braden Smith

Didn’t know you ran a recruiting service. How much do we owe for your wisdom?
I remember when half this board was saying Butler couldn’t be PG1 in the SEC and that he “better be coming as the backup”.
Take that as a reminder to take the “experts” on this board w a grain of salt. If a dude can fill the stat sheet at a midmajor and they’ve had success against the p5 programs they’ve played while having mid major teammates, they typically can do it at the high-major level with high-major teammates to take pressure off. They may be asked to fill a different role and not be a gunner trying to score 40…but the basic skills translate and Pope will build a team where all the pieces compliment and fit

Right after his S American PG finally signs.
Robinson had to be pushed to take the leadership roll and usually shied away from the lead role when it mattered most. He had skills but no confidence. This guy rates considerably higher in the confidence scale with similar shooting skills and better attack skills.
I have seen Smith play last year some. Is he that good?You’ve already proven you know nothing about talent evaluation when you posted this gem about Braden Smith
Oops, failed to differentiate between the two Freemans. I was referring to Elyjah Freeman, the D2 kid who’s getting some UK buzz.
Man, defense is often a hard thing to get a handle on from watching a few games – or at least it is for me. When it comes to defense, I’d prefer opinions from somebody who’s seen the guy a ton (maybe a whole season) and then some defense metrics – which I’ll be honest, I don’t really know enough about the correlations/validity of those (other than steals and blocks somewhat) to know how much faith to put in them.
And he scored 0 two games before the 51, and 6 the game after 51. Very streaky!!!
Yeah sounds like a AI Bot.. Check his birth certificate
Volume shooter indeed... Oweh leads UK in shot attempts this season with 378. Eaglestaff has taken 490! Almost half of them 3s
If by last portal season, you actually mean always, then yes - he’s particularly inaccurate on days ending in Y.
VERY streaky.
Lots of games 0-2, 0-4, 1-4, 1-5, 2-6, 2-8 from 3,
scoring, 0, 6, 8, 10, 12 points.
Is there anything to the rumors of him hitting the portal? Because clearly he would be the crown jewel if he does and KY should prioritize him as the number 1 target. He will cost a pretty penny but he'd be one of the few guys who is probably worth paying a premium for. I'd hate to grab the first kid we can sign only to have this kid come out later.
Richmond is a very good player for St. John's, but he is not a fit for UK. He has no outside shot. His game is to drive and he rebounds pretty well.
