AJ Lopez - Transfer Commit

[spiderman]

I think basically exclusively the 5. I can't remember where I read it. I think rtd when vcu's beat writer wrote article. Said Daughtry viewed himself as stretch 4 but played center at Indiana State. Tho I'm sure their O looked different than ours.

I expect at forward for us but could slide over when/if needed.

they had a 6'10" 250 guy who started all 29 games he played in, but only played 18 mpg.
they had a 2nd 6'10" 250 guy who played in 16 games at 12 mpg.
there's definitely minutes missing at the 5 where I guess Daughtry played. he averaged 19.5 mpg in 32 games, with only 3 starts.

Daughtry essentially only played when those two were on the bench though.

I was about to say that. At least the last 5 games…

A higher level transfer, whom I predict will play a lot and have a decent season. Probable starter to me.

Highlights from Fordham game:

Needed a good shooter, seems like we got one.

Starting to warm up on this guy more.

I think a pretty good upgrade on whoever we have on the roster to play on the wing (unless McGlothin is game ready).

Yes, the shooting stats are impressive. 48/40/88 Shooting splits (FG/3PT/FT), very very close to the exclusive 50/40/90 club. So whatever the form, he is making shots. Looking at the Fordham highlights I am seeing some good ability to attack off the dribble. Only 2 rebounds a game. Daughtry only 4 reb/gm - so little worried there.

JOC article on Lopez. Trying to spin comparisons to King with his rise.

Bob had him on the radio show last night, good interview, very confident kid. He said Maine's offensive and defensive systems were similar to ours so he thought it wouldn't be a huge adjustment for him. Said when he walked into the RC last season, he was blown away and thought how great it would be to play here regularly.

I am cautiously optimistic about AJ. Heck if he can just put up the numbers he did at Maine would take that. Would love to see him as a true guard next to Johnston (and Tyne or Thomas) so that we aren't too small on D and rebounding.

I’m cautiously awaiting the time when our Fanbase will see the value talent of our 25-26 players!

You will need to wait until January because even if we win all of our OOC games, it will be hard to judge us based on the garbage teams we play. Shoot, I might just wait and start watching in January.
