Sounds like his behavior is improving.
Can't help but feel sorry for him. I've spoken to an old teammate of his from hs who said that's not the same guy. Maybe TBI, i don't know. The concussions, subsequent migraines and sensitivity to light all point to brain injury. If so, will he get the help hd needs, or is he just a commodity, value based on his talent only.
Beast, he is definitely not the same guy. I knew he would require some “high maintenance” but nowhere close to this.
A guy w outstanding lateral quickness
An all time LMF favorite.
If only he could shoot....
Caroline Ducharme, who was a big recruit for UConn and played very well for them her freshman year, the COVID year, has had a very serious concussion related situation since then, shuffling in and out of the lineup, mostly out. She was completely shut down after a couple of games this year and just recently has even been medically permitted to return to the arena and sit on the bench due to problems with the lights and noise there. Concussions are obviously no joke. The horror stories of ex-football players and the NFLs indifference to head trauma effect played a large part in turning me off to the league.
Totally agree. Definitely one of my top three. He did everything extremely well but shoot.
I remember his first year he only took completely open set threes and shot about 40% from three kind of like Taylor this year.
I don't want to overstate this, but here was a 21 yr old, no family in ny, basically on his own. I spoke with him at the preseason basketball dinner at length, and found him to be a very bright, well-spoken young man.
His behaviors reasonably drew our ire, but if this is a result of injury, we certainly cared more about the mounting losses than a (pain in the ass) kid.
He is a brilliant basketball player. Some of his drives to the hoop resemble Kolek. Also a deft passer.
Whatever his demons are - emotional or physical disability - or pure immaturity, i hope they resolve and he goes on to a productive career post college and post basketball.
How did you know him?
Sent you a PM.

He was playing out of position at St John's
He was a very good PF at Duke and could have thrived in that role at St John's

Stanley and King should have be allowed to stay at St John's
They were underclassmen who seemed to be nice kids with a lot of potential
They would have been solid contributors in their latter years at St John's
I agree, and no inside info, but I think they were collateral damage.
Water under the bridge.
Oh man..... someone is desperately pointing to the clock while Lav is like "#$%& this, let's shake hands and get a table at NOBU!"
Stanley entered the portal as soon as our season ended. I don’t think Anderson had even been fired yet, so he was already out the door

Speaking of Anderson, does anyone know if his contract dispute has been settled?

He's also not a major conference rebounder. For all his flaws, glad we have Ledlum instead and hope Stanley sticks around Boise.
