Of course, I could easily be wrong.....Maybe good enough to come off the bench at Michigan..... reminds me of Damon.... Would not chose him over Alo for sure..... I think Alo would look like a top ten draft pick in that league too ...... JMHO

It’s really kinda hilarious, he’s averaging 7.2 rebs..... and hasn’t left the floor for any..... He may be a chase-down artist for rebounds like a squirrel scurries for nuts..... he hasn’t jumped one time..... Maybe on Ritalin

Awful take.. he put up 32 pts, 7 assist vs a winthrop team that wouldve been in the NCAAs as a junior. Also had 17/5 vs Northern Kentucky, 21/4 vs MTSU, and 16/2 vs Utah.

All those teams are better than Tulane and ECU.

I'm guilty of doing this as well, so I understand......I remember going to the Bluff and seeing players there, getting extremely excited they would soon wear the Memphis Tigers uniform....AAMoF "aa" Andre Allen, is the best BCC player I have seen, his teams ALWAYS won.....I watched aa can approximately 8 three's (some from deep) and was like "we're going to WIN a championship" (well, we really did).....However, when Bluff players got into a structured role, against tougher competition, you just won't see anywhere close to the same level of production....Maybe because it's sorta "freelance"; loose and even more relaxed that players feel more comfortable.......

I'm going to address the Defensive Juggernaut of Winthrop BB, that "almost made the tournament" ......I'm going to go with Tyler Harris here, just to keep this general......I could easily see TH putting up these same numbers against these teams that you dug up......If TH played in that league, I'm almost certain that TH would be claiming that he's going to enter his likeness into the NBA......Does his abilities translate to what Penny wants on the Memphis roster?

Alp became Mr. TN in basketball....How that he do that? ofcourse one has to be able to score......If Alo played in this conference and played Winthrop; N Kentucky; MTSU and Utah, Alo would be All-Conference/First Team player....

I'm not gonna put Boogie; DB; Lester; Nolley in this scenario......Well no, I will add Boogie....If BE played against the likes of Winthrop, he would drop 50, and probably wouldn't break a sweat He would probably be kicked out of that league as it wouldn't seem fair....

My point is....This guy is the equivalent to Alo/TH, he's just benefiting from a tremendously weak league, as hes scrambling around chasing loose balls that are getting tabbed as rebounds......7.2 rebounds at 5'10.....give me a ****king break....I didn't see this kid get up in the air one time in that vid

Lol.. what are you talking about? Winthrop didnt "almost" make the NCAAs, they were in - they won their conference tourney, won their conference regular season and had 2 wins over likely NCAA teams. They were probably better than us that year.

Utah is a Pac-12 team and had a win over a top-10 Kentucky team. Northern Kentucky won their conference tourney and was an NCAA team.
