PGs seem to be the exception to the rule. College coaches place the same value on PGs these days, as they used to place on 7'ers in the 80s. Plus, PGs aren't expected to score gaudy numbers. They are expected to run the offense and put their teammates in positions to win games. And I certainly don't consider Carton a 5*, can't miss prospect.
I thought you were joking around before. PMac's footwork isn't terrible by any means, but he sure as hell isn't what you're claiming.
That's what's so strange about it. Carton averaged just as many turnovers as assists.
What am I claiming?
I don't see a top 25 prospect when I watch Carton play.
Do I? I guarantee you I coach and watch more AAU games in 1 weekend than you see all summer.
He is a decent shot blocker, but unless he puts on 30 to 40 more pounds, he won't get a lot of chances to do it in college.
I'm not joking about that claim. And I'm not claiming he is a great on ball defender. Just that the rest of our team is that bad at on ball defense.
He'll block shots like Uthoff did. On close outs and help defense.
Again, I've seen too many of his high school games to agree with that.
We'll have to agree to disagree.
Unless he either dramatically improves his outside shooting or puts on significant weight gain, he won't get enough minutes for that. Oh wait, I completely forgot that his dad was the coach. Nevermind.
I'm agreeing that he won't block shots in the paint against PFs and Cs, in the traditional role. I'm not saying he will block as many shots as Uthoff or get as many minutes, one way or the other. I'm saying his shot blocking ability will come from the same circumstances as Uthoff's did. That simple.
If he doesn't give maximum effort on the defensive end, he'll never be a good defender, so there is that possibility. We already know that Fran won't demand great effort on the defensive end.
That’s at this point is just hearsay. We don’t know how Fran will handle it until he is actually in the situation. Luckily for him GB gave him a nice extension and killer buyout. Parents do crazy things for the kids all the time, would not be surprised at all if he played either of them more than they deserved.
We know he gave Connor 2nd team minutes at the PG spot, instead of CW, before the 1st game was played. That's why CW left.
