He seems to be a SG about the same size as Jordan Davis with approximately the same 3pt percentage (43 for 112) at 38.4%. What is not listed is his free throw percentage. A disappointing (21 for 34) for only 61.8%. He didn't get to the line very often!
I think if we are going to look at transfers at the guard position they should shoot 80% or better from the free throw line. You oldtimers may remember some 20 years ago Shawnta Rogers the diminuitive guard from
George Washington. Every time they had a lead at the end of a game they would put the ball in his hands and he would just step up to the line and make every darn free throw. It was frustrating for the Flyers! I would like to see us get a player like that who can salt the game away when the opponent is fouling to stop the clock! Rogers was 125 for 144 from the line for 86.8% as a senior in 1999!
I was wrong, Davis only shot 32.9% this past season from 3 point range.
