Wesley Yates is the proverbial grown *** man and would shut up a lot of the naysayers on here. Plays much like Oweh but with a better handle. Had 30 (20 in the first half) at Purdue.
Williams mostly played at SF last year. Kaleb Banks 6-7 / 215 and Greg Glenn 6-7 / 230 manned the 4/5 spots. Rowan Brumbaugh was the PG and 6-3 Asher Woods played the 2G. They played small ball, really 3 guards and 2 PF's. Probably why they sucked last year. Couldn't defend size or rebound.
I haven't seen enough of Williams to know, but analysts/commentators are saying he's very athletic with a long wingspan. Sounds like that would work as a small-ball PF, especially as a 2nd unit guy. And watching video of Williams he honestly doesn't look that skinny to me.
On the other hand, while Williams is certainly plenty athletic enough, I didn't really see why this would be emphasized as one of his biggest strengths. I'm also not sure whether he's 6'7" of 6'8" (not that makes much of a difference to me with regard to him). What it does appear that he can do at a high level is shoot the heck out of spot up 3s from anywhere (not just in the corner).
Freeman from LMU had better stats and was dominant at times as a freshman.
If Oweh doesn’t come back I will have to take a break lol.
He’ll be back. I think we are gonna be more than fine. Genuinely, not cope —- genuinely believe it. I’ll get back to this after we land Alvaro Folgueris and break some of it down later. Pope is building something special.
Even if we don’t actually. I looked over some things and I think fans, including myself, have gotten caught in the current. I’ll share some things either this evening or tomorrow. Not everyone has to agree, of course, but I think fair minded people may find we are in good shape.
I don’t know why people are so concerned about having to many guards. You take all the good players you can get. Coaches job to sort it out from there. Oweh, Yates, Johnson, Ament, Lowe, add Smith if you can. Good teams have good players. Still plenty of room to add a couple bigs.
Not a big fan but he is a former A-A and has size.
Bingo. Hard to get used to USC being in the Big 10 now.
Thanks....big guard....I like that
Don’t worry about how many years a player has left, hardly anyone is anywhere for the long run - just get the best fit for next season.
I'm a firm believer you keep targeting the most talent, and this stuff will work itself out.
Kam Williams is 6'8 and long
I believe pope is planning on using him as a 3/4 to have shooters everywhere
That's not good
Wash seems to get who they want. They must have big money
I agree. Even before the paying players. It was obvious they were paying and never did crap with it
When he was at Washington his cousin was an assistant coach there . His cousin wasn’t retained by the new coach so Yates transferred. Rumor is, Washington is trying to hire his cousin back .
But you’re right. They’ve been doing well. “Supposedly “ they gave the German kid (who I was hoping for) 2+ million.
