I do not understand the hype surrounding this player right now on this board. Sure we need depth and all that, whatever. The same people who complain tons about how all we have is athletes blah blah blah, want Lawrence. He is another athlete. Thomas was a step in the right direction, but then I wanted us to land a guy who can play the 3 and shoot it consistently. Not this guy. I am sorry, but I just do not want him. When news first came out that he wanted out of UC, I was excited. But after looking at stats, multiple past injuries, off court issues, inability to shoot FTs, his longing to be Kevin Durant, and game film I am just not at all thrilled to get him.
I'm all for landing a 6'9 transfer. If he plays like he is 6'9 and gets under the hoop for boards and post moves.
But this nonsense with him wanting to be a 3 and wanting to be KD is just not needed on this team right now.
Listen, none of you guys will probably agree cause we are doing our usual thing here: over hyping recruits/transfers
This guy sounds like another Sanchez who is going to hang around the three point line and not understand his role. If we do get him, great, I hope he proves me wrong, I will gladly eat crow on this if he turns into a great player, but I just am skeptical about this player, and will not be upset in the least if he picks another school.
Just my two cents on this topic, again I hope I am proved wrong.
