Dare to dream: Malik Stith

[dustyj]

I think we can all agree, this season we are going to need to few miracles to overachieve. One potential bright spot might be Malik Stith. After reading again about how hard Malik is working, I started to think about what might be possible. And that got me looking at players that have actually pulled off a giant career turnaround. Stith is mid-level recruit from Long Island, who has underachieved, coincidentally another Long Island kid had one on of the most amazing turnarounds once a new coach came on the scene, Billy Donovan. If you look at Donovan’s career before Pitino he was nowhere, as Providence fans will re-call, Pitino told him to lose weight and the rest is history. But if you look where Billy was as sophomore it is almost the exactly where Stith was, as follows:

MIN FG% FT% A/T PPG
Donovan 85-84 11.3 47% 66% 1.9 3.2
Stitch 01-11 12.2 39.3 74% 1.9 3.3

If Stith is working out hard, following Rico’s instructions and facing off with NBA-caliber players who is to say how big a leap he can make. It’s been done before and we can dare to dream.

I wish Stith was 6'8.

 What we need is a Phil Missere this season. Coach Lavin would have loved him.

If I remember correctly he had a stud game against Arz St last season, maybe he can bottle up that performance

We could really use Stith to be a player this year as we than could use Nuri, D'Angelo and Green up front more where we need depth.
