He’s our starting PG.If he's our starting PG, we're in for a long season.
He’s not a clone but there are similarities.Not sure I see that. Clayton has always been a more physical player; as a sophomore at Iona, he was listed 20 pounds heavier than Evans and was a lot more impactful defensively and as a rebounder. He also handled a much heavier usage load (albeit at a lower level than where Evans was playing). I see the similarities in their shooting profile but Evans will have to make a big lead to have that sort of "lead scoring guard" profile (and to be fair he did make a big jump in just about every category between his freshman and sophomore years, which gives some hope that he's on a steep development curve).
Makes one wonder if EC was expected to be next season's PG.You can hope all you want but Evans is definitely coming here with the expectation of being a starter, and that clearly is what Sherrell expects too. A better PG is not just going to fall into our lap. I'm not thrilled with the prospect of putting all our eggs in a Evans/Trimble backcourt, but I also don't think it's particularly likely that Xaivian Lee is coming at this point, and that's the only guy I can see on our radar who would push Evans to the bench
It sounds like he will be. And our only PG for that matter.If he's our starting PG, we're in for a long season.
Sigh
And really, you should adjust for the second half of the season, as there was a very significant improvement over the course of the season.For what it's worth, Colorado State played a slow tempo last year. 270th in tempo, against our 47th. So that might put some of Evans' stats in a little bit different context. It's not a huge factor, but it's not nothing -- they had about 7.5% fewer possessions per game. So multiply his aggregate stats by 7.5% to get an apples to apples comparison.
Instead of 10.9 ppg, he would be closer to 12. 3.1 apg becomes about 3.4. Not mind-blowing differences, but a little bit.
I had read somewhere that he switched to lead guard by the end of the season and that stats for that period were pretty good.And really, you should adjust for the second half of the season, as there was a very significant improvement over the course of the season.
Claude was August I believe but he was totally a depth piece. He rarely played.When did we get Ty Claude? I seem to recall there being plenty of portal activity over the summer. And we could pull in a foreign player at any time, I think.
We will get players.
Yeah. I just wanted to know if it was possible to get players over the summer. It seems to be. Maybe there won't be much left, but it's feasible.Claude was August I believe but he was totally a depth piece. He rarely played.
