Empty spot for 25/26?

He can once they become the 51st state

 

How about a grad student transfer?

I don't know about Ollie's family finances, but I hope he gets the scholly and hope to see him get some minutes this year. Would be fun to see him play keep away with the ball a full foot beyond opponents' reach. And when he gets his first alley oop dunk the O'Dome gonna go CRAY.

 

someone in the 6'6 to 6'9 range wing that can handle the ball and shoot would be ideal. So yes, a future NBA lottery pick

 

I'm looking forward to his first minutes more than any player in recent memory. Hope one more S&C offseason gets him a bit more "quickness" and mobility. Zach Edey wasn't/ still isn't exactly quick by any stretch but was great at what he did, someone to emulate

 

We had those beefeaters push their way all the way to the hoop this past season. Ollie might just be the cure for that. Even if they push him all the way to the hoop he'll be really hard to shoot over.

 

Wonder what Ollie's vertical is these days?

 

wonder if he could even pass the paper test - stand on a piece of paper, jump, then see if you can pull the piece of paper away before he lands on it again. My guess is 24-26 inches at best. If he gets to 30+ inches he'd be unstoppable.

 

Not going to argue with more knowledgeable fans, but to me, his vertical is about the least thing I care about. What I want is better footwork and practice sliding his feet without fouling. Teach him to stop and raise his hands straight up (I realize it is easier said than done) and he WILL be a force on defense. On offense? Keep the ball high over his head, pivot without fouling and do a baby hook. No one is seriously going to block him.

 

Probably never had to jump in his life so he won’t have a good vertical
