his numbers were awful last year.

he had a super hot streak of 17-24 from 3 over a 7 game span 2 seasons ago. the rest of his career he's a 29% 3 point shooter. 26% last year. but he thinks he's a jump shooter, 200 3's + midrange shots last season.

im just not gonna consider it a miss.

I’d take him. Need a body. Only have him a year if he sucks. Come in for 4 minutes, Stretch the defense a little, get out. No, he’s not unbelievable but pretty good get this late in the game.

thats fine if he's OK with that. would be weird to grad transfer for that.

I'd imagine all grad transfer recruits are being told they'd compete for a starting spot and at worst would play a significant role off the bench as a rotation player.

I’m sure he is well aware of the roster and situation. If he plays more, that means someone else is struggling. I get he’s not ideal, Just not sure who you want at this point

my post was more along the lines of out of all the guys we've missed on, this guy would be at the bottom of the list for me.

Nice try... Look at big picture of work.

He will get minutes. Stretch the floor. Make shots.

Fits the system well.

its a legit question. he was a 94 ORTG in conference play in the patriot league.

he's probably the starting 4 here though right.

can maybe write off some of his struggles to him getting moved to C last year. Just not his natural position.

About what that perfect situation would be, Ivanauskas said, “I think the perfect situation to me is to play a good amount, catch the ball in positions where I can score and pass, and then also to win. Those are some of things that are really important to me in this decision.”

He's not coming to sit. That man is coming to shoot.

Although I will say if Brannen can get his midrange game outta here, he could be much more efficient. He's got good movement for his size and a nice face up game. Seems like a good passer too. Could possibly fill the role Ryan Mikesell filled for Dayton last year.

Ok its growing on me.
