Ingram isn't even officially in the portal is he?

I agree. He looks slow to me. He'd never get his shoulders past a Big XII defender.

MJ Rice to the portal.

That one sucks. I thought he just had bad luck this year.

I've learned to be humble about [mostly] my NBA predictions, but Niang at least had an outside game where you could see where he fit on the court.

I didn't really see where Ellis was going to fit.

Niang has the athleticism of a 60 yr old office worker.

Dude sucked

The fact that MJ Rice couldn't get/stay on the floor on a team with no bench where Pettiford/Yesefu were getting meaningful minutes does not suggest much good about him as a player.

We may or may not end up missing him if he develops into something, but he had no guaranteed PT next year based on what we saw this year. His decision is understandable.

But with a high BBIQ, elite 3PT shot, and general competitiveness/toughness that is much higher than Perry. It's proven to be enough to make him a solid bench player.

I’m not too surprised by it.

I think I said before that if he goes, then Self doesn’t see it in Rice. If he saw Rice coming around, then it would’ve been pretty easy to sell the vision to him as the starting 3 next year.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes off elsewhere. I think his season just started with way too much bad luck and held him back.

Could be another semi ojeleye

Andrew White and Quentin Grimes came to mind for me.

Grimes had his moments, but he had a ton of dud performances.

White could barely get on the floor at Kansas.

At least he had the excuse of being new.

That plus he had a weird string of minor injuries, Covid, kidney stones, etc that made him miss time early.

The Big 12 was such a grind that I think it was hard to get him much PT later, because those games actually matter. There weren’t bad teams for him to rack up minutes against.

I don’t think it’s very comparable to Grimes. He started from day one on a team that was preseason #1. He only transferred because he wanted a different role. He foolishly thought he was a PG

Oh I get that. He’s just a talented guy who exploded somewhere else. That’s all.

Rice could do the same. Maybe he will, maybe he won’t.

Kiimo · 03-29-2023, 01:52 PM

I'm not sure Grimes thought he was a point guard, he just needed the ball in his hands in order to pull up and make his shots. He couldn't catch and shoot and I seem to remember Conner Frankamp having the same issue.

I feel like guys who were The Man in high school sometimes have a hard time transitioning to the catch and shoot percentages they need.
