Not sure it will matter. It looks like the NBA player's assoc is helping in getting him eligible. "The NBA Players Association is helping Makur get eligible," the source said, adding that Makur has submitted all of his transcripts and is waiting to hear back from the league office. "The NBPA thinks he will receive it. More than likely he will be in this draft class." Although I will add that his latest showcase, he didn't play well, and if he is applying bc he thinks he will be drafted high, it looks like that isn't going to happen as his draft stock is dropping. But it is a good fall back option... Edited February 14, 2020 by steeleagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo is a 2 & not adjusting to the 1 well. We have 3 spots left with likely Okoro gone. 1 is for Jalen should he choose AU. I hope we make room to meet all our needs & elite targets which is Kuminga at SF if he reclassifies, a high school big. GT Big, & a GT PG. We have immediate playing time to sell at every position but PG. We have putting guys in the league to sell. I'm feeling good on landing 2-3 of the guys we really want and hitting the GT market for a few role players. Take a project big if we still have room after a guy or two decides to transfer.

The hard part is finding a guy who is willing to accept that role and know coming in he's the backup PG to a true freshman. You find that guy and you've found someone who will absolutely help this team next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think an experienced player would be our first option, and either a guy in the portal or a JC PG(Like J'Von) who wants to play with a major college basketball program having success in the NCAAs and a quality coach who develops well, would be an enticing carrot.

But even Johnson came in thinking he had a chance to win that starting job because we didn't know if Harper would be quite ready for this level as a true freshman. The difficulty is most guys transferring or grad transferring want to play. If a senior is leaving, he's usually looking for a better spot to compete for a championship. And if he has any stats about him, he's been starting at his previous school. It's really hard to find a player who has proven he can play that will also accept a backup role. Most times, they're transferring to be the guy somewhere else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's possible we could use someone like Powell as a backup option, similar to Samir this year. If I had to guess, I think Bruce would prefer a true PG. And I'm not completely writing Turbo off. For all we know, his injury during the summer could've set him back too much for him to get ready and compete for PT this year but he could be a different guy next year. A lot of what we look for in the offseason will probably hinge on his ability to play PG moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about Ronnie Johnson? If so, I’d agree that someone in his type of roll would be very useful next year. Not just as a PG, but also to address what will be a dearth of upperclassmen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood but I still say with over 350 college teams we should be able to find a quality PG that's willing to play about 10 minutes a game, especially if he's coming from a school with little to no chance to play in the NCAA Tourney.

Just seems with the timing, that CB is related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
