SJU Portal Targets

[mattc]

The lead guard will reveal themselves fellas. Truthfully I’m hoping we can land a Watkins-type player in the front court. This team has a ton of talent as is, we need some junkyard dogs too!

This fanbase reminds me of my kids. We go to Target and get a few toys, the next day they expect another Target run. We just landed Sanon and Hopkins and people are freaking out about Silas Demary and some other guys I never heard of until 2 weeks ago!

The way the roster is coming together I don’t see Watkins making sense.

Love that Wilcher is staying the talent is there and I think he takes a jump this year. Wilcher is his own worst enemy if he misses a shot he gets down needs to learn to forget that and just keep shooting. He also has to stop whining to the refs about every call just play.

It can. He could be the point-forward like Kadary around + + shooters like Sellers and Sanon, along with Hopkins/Zuby. We'd be a huge team and his defense is probably better than whatever guard we can get.

Can’t pass on him if you have a shot.

From Zach - Sim being back is huge!

-- Said Bryce Hopkins looked great. Thinks he can be a difference-maker.

-- Said St. John's will bring in three more transfers: Two guards and a frontcourt player. "We need to get some studs."

-- Said Simeon Wilcher will be back.

Great that Sim is coming back. After seeing the players coming in, with more to come, the easy thing would be to portal. But he is going to compete for minutes.

Love that. Cannot teach that type of competitiveness.

If you add Sellers and the Euro kid then you focus on the PG and a solid big.

I think that is the plan.

I think you can fit Watkins on any team. He slots in great at the 3 with Hopkins at the 4 IMO. He can slide to the 4 when Hopkins is out.

Watkins is an automatic add. He is like a unicorn with his skill set.

You add him in a NY minute and he is a starter from Day 1

How is Dioubates defense? He can be a Scott replacement

Great. Miya also rates him as the 2nd best player on their team, mostly due to his defense.

Him, Lee, Sellers and that’s a wrap!

Alabama has pretty deep pockets for basketball so it's more likely that playing time is the main factor in him leaving there. If that's the case I wonder if he sees a path for 25-30 mins per game here.

If we'd be planning to him minutes at the 3 alongside Hopkins and Zuby we'd have similar shooting concerns again.
