Interesting piece of trivia.
The 1983 Notre Dame basketball team coached by Digger phelps featured John Paxson. Also playing on that team were a pair of kids named Tim Kempton and Tim Andree. In this case Andree was the snior and was drafted in the 5th round by the Chicago Bulls. Kempton was the freshman and was later drafted in the 6th round by the LA Clippers.
I’m not understanding this debate but that’s OK. When Chuku arrived on campus and had to sit his firat year, the excitement was palpable to have him on the court. Holba who is far more decorated makes his debut after sitting a year and people are afraid. Perhaps it’s the injury but then again, BA is also coming off an injury, has only played guard and people think that a lineup with only one guy over 6-5 is preferable.
Price arrives on campus after scoring 10 ppg in HS and people can’t wait to see what kind of offense he will bring to Lehigh. Andree, considered by many to be the best shooter in NJ arrives and their are doubts to what he can contribute. BTW Andree and Chuku are both 6-8, 225# and the former did average 10 rpg over the last 2 seasons in HS so he’s not allergic to the basket although he may be a work in progress there.
I, however, am really looking forward to this season. This team has a really good mixture of seasoned veterans and highly ranked youth.
