Bum-

Agree with everything you say.  His strength at this point seems to be shooting the basketball.  In the limited video I saw, I was struck by 2 things.  First, he is small and scrawny.  Second, he doesn’t seem to have a great handle or game off the dribble at this point in his development.  There is definitely a need at PG, not next year, but the year after.  MM next year, and CS as a starter in 2 years, then there is an opening.  I do like his pedigree, and coaching staff appears high on him, and he had apparently some higher offers.  So, that bodes well.  It would be nice to pick up a really quick, change of pace, PG in this class or next year.  A guy that can really push the ball, as opposed to CS, who is more of your conventional type guy.  I’m thinking of a Prentice Small type, hopefully better, but a player in that mold.

I am hoping maybe we can slide in Chuku and Whitfield into the 3 next year to replace HG, who is a 3 pushed to the 4 this year due to our lack of size.  Give us a little more size and toughness on the glass.  We could actually be pretty big in the frontcourt next year with a starting lineup of Kempton, Goldy, and Chuku/Whitfield, but a lot of things need to break right for that to happen.
