Thank you for the information. I assume they're looking at him in a backup role to Wilkins?

shoots it well but not a level where I would call him a shooting specialist. Made 1 3 a game last year in 25 mins a game.

Based on some of these backup shooters they’ve been tied to the confidence this staff has in Noah and Hawthorne being good players seems very, very high.

He would be a very good get. People think you only are supposed to have 3 guards on the team (Diallo, Wilkins M. Williams). Pope plays guys about 28-32 min and that’s for 2 spots. You also have foul trouble and as we know injuries. Remember the team in Gonzaga that 30 pieced us??? He put 15 pts and 16 pts on them in the two meetings on 5-9 from 3. This isn’t about a local kid. Dude can play.

The only portal targets that don’t laugh in Popes face are the ones that grew up in KY and aren’t good enough to play here

This guy would be in effect your third point guard, hits his free throws, can hit the open three , has a lot of experience, has a good A/TO ratio and won't break the bank. If you're expecting a starter level guy to be your fourth or fifth guard you're looney. Pope is spitting the bit yes, but this is not a bad pickup IMO.
