Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

He’s primarily a 3 could play some 4 not a 2.

He's primarily a 4. He is 6'11"

A modern day Brad Sellers?

A modern day Brad Sellers?

Can we hope for Adam Morrison?

 

[Bigs23]

He's primarily a 4. He is 6'11"

Also 215 pounds.

And mostly takes 3’s.

 

[Zoo_View]

He’s 7’ tall.

If he was good, he’d be in the NBA this Fall.

He’s only 19.

 

[BillOfRights]

Catchings....and Stevenson doesn't look good right now either.

Does Stevenson look good now?

Sounds like John Henson. He wasn't a three, either.

He played for Bama. You are only allowed to take threes or dunk for Nate Oates.

He does not have the handle to play the three for us.

 

[circlesky88]

Averaged 5 points and 3 rebounds a game in his two years, not exactly mind-blowing numbers. Shot 31% from three.

He’s only 19.

He’s a 7-foot SG/SF with a limited handle.

Hopefully, he wants to become a PF.

I wish him well.

He is absolutely not a SG/SF -- don't know where you are getting that from or why you keep repeating it. He was never on the floor with Omoruyi and Nelson at same time. He always played the PF position at Bama. Yes, he would sometimes guard the 2 position (like against RJ) but that is simply because he is very versatile defensively. On offense, he is a pure 4, who could play some spot duty at the 3.

I am sad about Catchings, but very excited about Stevenson!

Let's get another big guard and maybe a back up PG and see what happens!

I’ve watched him play.

I’m facetiously asking or stating he’s a SG. He obviously isn’t.

He’s also obviously NOT a PF or C.

He lacks the handle or game to be a SF.

So, what is he?

He strikes me as being a modern Brad Sellers with less of a post game.

I hope he improves. A LOT.

 

[WaynetheDrain]

Is Stevenson a SG or SF?

He’s not a PF or C.

3/4.

Bama used him primarily as a jump shooter. He’ll definitely need to expand his game here for this to work.

Immediately improves us defensively though. Very good instincts on that end of the court.

All I will say about Catchings is that he was texting the staff this afternoon saying he was coming.

No idea. Will try and get a scoop tomorrow.

Sounds like he was trying to negotiate Georgia against us and HD/Tanner didn’t take kindly to that.

That’s the inside scoop we all expect from this place!

Get after it, @Rock!

Ever heard of Delvon Roe?

 

[finesse]

He's the one I wanted all along.

Yes, the prototype of Kevin Durant..
