Agree but would say it’s at least a reasonable debate lol. I think Hopkins is more of a perimeter threat and someone who needs to be respected with the ball than Scott. But I’d also give the edge to Kadary over Mitchell for the same reason.
SJU Portal Targets
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
Mitchell made three more 3s than Kadary last year!
Get Xavian Lee quickly and I don't care if they fill the rest out finding guys in Marillac Hall or JUCOThe staff is operating at warp speed filling out the roster. This beats the days of chasing David Jones on a Sunday at Chelsea Piers hoops center.

I wish they would go after Dioubate. Mitchell looks like a very athletic big who plays well in transition and in the paint but the FT and 3PT% is really, really, low! 3PT % in 2022-23 and 2023-24 is non-existent - your comparison to Kadary is spot on! Rick would pull his hair out every time he went to the free throw line!
| GP | MIN | FG% | 3P% | FT% | REB | AST | BLK | STL | PF | TO | PTS |

| 35 | 28.1 | 61.4 | 29.4 | 39.5 | 6.9 | 1.7 | 0.6 | 1.4 | 1.6 | 1.2 | 9.9 |
| 34 | 29.0 | 58.5 | 0.0 | 59.8 | 7.5 | 1.4 | 0.9 | 1.0 | 1.7 | 1.4 | 9.6 |

Lol yeah and that’s crazy but there’s more to it than that tho. One guy made 10 the other made 7, but the one who made 7 was constantly a threat with the ball.
Whoa now. Gotta go out and do it. Last year was unexpectedly magic.
Just talking about three point shooting
Neither of those lanes are clogged. Zuby playing top of the key for PnR and dribble handoffs, keep Mitchell cutting and moving for some hi-low/lobs, and iso Hopkins on mismatches. Shot goes up and all 3 attack.
Wait, you think Scott is better than Hopkins for spacing?
I honestly wanted to put Hopkins there because Scott is so streaky and one dimensional. His three point shooting felt more hypothetical than reality for most of the year
Mitchell is high level as a DHO guy up top
Designated Hitter Offense?
As the big man in “dribble hand offs”
Scott had horrific shot selection for us and he was a complete non-threat off the bounce. He shot 29.3% from 3 at this level.
Hopkins flirts with 40% from 3 and he is a real threat off the dribble. He will also command double teams which is huge for spacing.
Hopkins as well — and he’s a complete threat there too.
To be fair, Hopkins was 18% the year before last in a larger sample size than last year. But I do think it’s entirely realistic to think he’ll be 34-36%. Sanon is also the perfect catch and shoot guys that defenders will have to keep honest. Lee has deep range as well, which is really helpful for spacing.
I’m really not worried about the spacing with Mitchell. It would mean things went wrong with other places on the roster if it’s a discussion next year.
Marillac said flirt. And he didn’t say if he was sober
That all sounds great to me. Especially if we add 2 more shooters. We need help on D and in transition as we are losing RJ, Smith and Kadary and their abilities on the break. We’ll be much better in the half court but we need guys who can rebound and start the break so we get easy buckets too.
