Would you feel comfortable with this guy at the 3 on a Top 25 D1 team?

per, off, def?

probably. top 25? i suppose thats easy, yeah, but i don't know where draw the line. however back to the top 25, im reluctant to run these crappy bh/pass dudes at the 3 in the fb and hes kinda slow, i'd probably be reluctant especially in a fb/fcp but i'd be open to playing him at the 4 there. ultimately for a top 25 team he could definitely work but its the top 5 range where i'm really more or less skeptical based on the team situation.

the most salient point though is about his per scoring and the rest of the team. if hes projecting out to play with a per scoring pg, its so much easier to tolerate a guy like this. if hes playing with a 2pt scoring pg and his 3pt scoring abilities are really critical to the team, hes not quite 100% out but its a massive mark against him. with the right cast hes a good fill guy who shouldn't hurt you anywhere really but with the wrong one, he's a disaster significant enough to put aside title hopes. but if you are talking top 25 as in trying to squeak into that group, hes probably ok no matter what.

I mean, probably. Even championship teams don't need to have all five starters be studs and it's not like this is a bad player, just a player who doesn't fit perfectly into any single prescribed role.

64+ per by the way.

mo/man with a low of slowdown and some really good scoring guards and defensive bigs around him. I have 3 100 per guys in the class above him.

Yes, great defender and I love the rebounding at the small forward position.

This.

Absolutely welcome in my press/zone teams. I love the 3 that can go back and forth between 3-2 and 2-3. I suppose the lower-than-elite athleticism is not quite ideal for man or press, but I think generally that’s a positive player in the vast majority of games, especially as an upperclassman.
