I was thinking the same thing.They both pretend to know more about the Memphis Basketball team and recruits than actual Tiger fans. lol

and all 12 teams team in the AAC will finish top half, according to everyones fans.. the idea that fans know more is one of the most ridiculous notions ive ever read on this forum

i know more about memphis than the majority of memphis fans...lets stop pretending being a fan makes you knowledgeable about the sport

and lets stop pretending that fandom doesnt blind...

there are people here more knowledge-able about houston, than plenty houston fans

I suspect he or she is an alternative alias of a poster here. I refuse to play the foil, so into the ignore heap he or she goes.

no its a real poster..i went to the temple forum, there is a long time poster on their side who writes and post in the exact same pattern....it wasnt that hard to spot him as he wrote long posts in almost al lthe basketball threads for them, all dramatically overhyping temple
he just decided to join the aac side

its just a new super temple fan

And there ya go.

If we are that low, the stock of Wiseman, Achiuwa, and maybe others will fall. For us to continue momentum Wiseman needs to be a Top 2 pick and Achiuwa needs to be a lottery or edge of lottery player. If they are that level of player, I have no idea how we are a 8 or 9 seed.

Can’t see Achiuwa being a lottery pick without substantially
improving from in his senior year of HS, only making 28
percent three-point shooting (10-35) on three’s
That can surely happen with Mark Miller
coaching him, given his apparent success in getting Jeremiah
Martin to improve his three-point shooting.

Most SF’s who are lottery picks do shoot over 34 percent on three’s.

Achiuwa also needs to develop a low-post game.. Don’t believe he will
be a lottery pick based solely on his being a deadly scorer in transition.
Checked with a few people who have seen him play thru the
years, and they agree..
Ok

Disagree, he doesn’t need to be improve it, honestly 28%-33% is about all he needs .. he just needs to make it high enough that you have to respect it and defend him at the 3pt line...the issue is that you don’t want it to get worse vs tougher competition

Most lottery picks tend to be poor 3pt shooters

The deciding factor for him will be the impact he makes. As note by many reports/ his doubters is can he bring it every play...he didn’t need to or showed that in HS

Doubt Achiuwa will be drafted if he shoots 28 percent
If he shoots 28 percent on three’s. Taking few three’s
as he did his:senior year in HS not going to cut it.
Never heard those who have seen Achiuwa play a
lot say he’s a great player. All have said he has potential.
Surprised posters who haven’t seen play a lot have such
strong opinions as they do. Replying on his being a
projected lottery without seeing him play in college ball
means much. Hope he develops and is a lottery pick.

ben simmons? (look at his college stats) achiuwa isnt going to be drafted for 3pt shooting. there are multiple poor shooting players in the lottery every year...he doesnt need to make 3s at a high percentage .. he just has to make it high enough that team defenses respect it

achiuwa strength is that from the perimeter, bigs are way to slow to guard him...guards are too small to defend him...

his 3pt% is meaningless to his draft stock...shooting a decent percentage is more about defenders guarding him in a way to show off his other skill sets

because if defenders can safely defend him like this


his speed/driving ability vs other bigs will be meaningless

also they dont need to watch him play to note he is a high draft pick potential..as as he is projected 1st round by almost every scout

Last time I looked Ben Simmons is a PG, which
requires a unique skill-set. At 6’9,” Anchiuwa is
the same listed height as North Carolina’s
Cameron Johnson, the 11th pick of the 1st
round of the 2019 NBA draft. He shot 45
percent on three’s his senior year. His skill-set
light years ahead of where is now. IF Anchiuwa
Shoots 27 percent on three’s at Memphis NBA
teams will back off, invite him to shoot three’s. and
let him shoot as many three’s as he likes. Will play-off
him to stop his drives to the hoop.

are you purposefully trying to be a contrarian?..theye were like 12 other other lottery picks you could have chosen but you picked 1 of the few players known for 3 point shooting as the sole example

cam Johnson is silly comp..cam johnson is exclusively known for 3pt shooting...thats his specialty..thats like comparing jj reddick to da'aron fox because they are the same height..they do completely different things...

28-33% is plenty good enough.. like it was for rui hachimura (1st team all-american/lottery pick), rj barrett (1st team all-american/lottery pick), Jarrett Culver (1st team all-american/lottery pick), Sekou Doumbouya (top international player/lottery pick)

It’s absurd discussing with such seriousness whether
Anchiuwa has the requisite qualities that will result
in his being drafted in the NBA lottery, when he has yet
played a minute of college bb.

Dude, how many times you gonna say the same thing?

The 3 point line is going to be moved back. He won't be at 33% this year. He would more likely move back to 25% than move up to 33.
