You see him as a 3/4?

Playing him limited minutes like Wilcher.
Has to be (to me) but so many unknowns as to who steps up. My guess early on is Pitino is gonna play musical chairs like last year and similar to what Anderson used to do.
I see him as a 3/4 and a major contributor. Will definitely play starter minutes imho.
Prey averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds last year in a team that finished 16-18.
WOW--those are some stats; underwhelming to say the leastPrey averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds last year in a team that finished 16-18.
In 11 minutes a game playing with and against older players. Context.
2023–24 ACB season - Wikipedia
Top two scorers in the league last year were Markus Howard, a two time All-American from Marquette a few years ago and Kyle Guy, a former NBA second rounder who was also a two time AA from UVA who won the title.
Any stats from Prey in that league is impressive by the mere fact he played in it. Arenas with thousands of people, grown men playing, pro atmosphere on and off court.

I think Euros are more equipped to handle that actually because young players over there get buried on the bench by coaches no matter how spectacular a talent they are.

Ok, got it. I don't think I would call it antics Tom, but more a very well known aspect of his coaching style. Sim was not the first, and won't be the last freshman with limited minutes. I think all of our incoming freshmen are aware of how much time freshmen get to play for coach.

Playing on the Portuguese national (senior) team in the European Championships, he averaged 8.5 points and 3 rebounds in 18.5 minutes - 7/10 from 2 and 0/2 from 3. That's a pretty solid contributor.
I saw a list of at least 10 frosh who averaged well over 20 mpg for coach over his career. Player specific. No doubt you have to earn it.
Yes, but we are in a new era where rosters get backfilled with 5th-years seniors as soon as the season ends.
It’s extremely unfair to freshmen and sophomores. Under the old model, Glover would be playing 25 mpg with all the departures.
Prey averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds last year in a team that finished 16-18.
Prey averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds last year in a team that finished 16-18... at 18 years old, in the second best basketball league in the world and playing against full grown former nba and euroleague players. Adding to that there was disciplinary issue that took him off the rotation and hampered his growth in the team.
Same thing happened to Marillac on Redmen.

'disciplinary issue that took him off the rotation and hampered his growth in the team'. No reason to mention this. I wasn't aware and some things are better left off unsaid.
Adapt or perish. Besides, we have seven under classmen on 13 man roster. Only two definite departures of seniors. That balance suffices I think re roster. We are going to fill those spots next year with transfers. We will need frosh in class of 26.
I think coach will find minutes for the frosh this year. If Glover is a stud, he will surely play.
