Heys way better. Ledlum had over 50 D1 offers including schools like Mich etc. Led Adidas Guantlet in scoring. Was gatorade player of year. This is a HM kid playing in Ivy League. Different pedigree player.

There is no info on his birthday but his birthday is Feb 19th according to Havard atheltics twitter post.

Old (presumably 22-23 this year), can't shoot (27% from 3, 59% from FT), can't pass/play make (1.6 AST to 2.6 TOV), isn't tall enought to play PF in the league? Raw counting stats are decent, but not that amazing for a 4th year senior.

What role do you envision this guy play in the league?

I assume you mean this year, right? Rudy LaRusso, Bill Bradley, Geoff Petrie and Jim McMillan (just to name 4) all say hello.

don't have an opinion on this guy either way, but what makes him so much better than say a Miye Oni?



Heys way better. Ledlum had over 50 D1 offers including schools like Mich etc. Led Adidas Guantlet in scoring. Was gatorade player of year. This is a HM kid playing in Ivy League. Different pedigree player.



And Victor Oladipo had very few D1 offers, but he became a great player before hurting his quad muscle.

I'm starting to think that DrCoach and BarbaraGriz are his mom and dad.

So? Trace Jackson-Davis against Rutgers on 2/7 scored 20 points 18 rebounds and 6 assts, against Northwestern on Jan 8th he had 18 points and 24 rebounds 8 asts, 4 blocks, against #1 ranked Purdue he had 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks. He's been doing it all season, and he's gonna be in the draft. We don't even know if this guy you're touting is even gonna be in the draft this year. Looks to me like he has 2 years of eligibility left.
