Not the highest 3 point or free throw percentage. Hopefully he can play defense well. Seems like a role player, which is fine. Not all 6 of our transfers are going to be starters.
We have 3 scholarships left. Would like to see that go to another 6’7 or taller forward, and a 6’1-6’4” guard to play alongside AA.

Pretty cool if he plays guard. A 6’9” guard dancing the weave.

I hope you are right, but my fear is that this means we are done with impact signings and down to filling in the roster.

The longer we wait since the portal opened April 7th, the more likely we are landing guys who were not our top options. I imagine we are looking for a starter at the 2 and 4 spot. Andrew’s stats on a bad Monmouth team do not scream starter material to me.

He looks thrilled to be here.
This free agency system treats players like meat. He knows the score. I imagine this is more detrimental to the well-being of the vast majority of these college basketball players. More than 95% of them will be unemployed in a year or two. How many will actually have a degree?

Not sure about this one
A 6th man on Monmouth? What are we to expect? What are we doing here?
filling out the roster? We can't expect the entire roster to be starter quality

Agree. I think he looks like a solid piece. I do think we need to get at least one more high impact player, if not two. But you can never tell with players for sure. I remember when SDSU picked up Yani Wetzell in the portal. Fans were not impressed. He ended up being a starter and key cog on a top 5 team.
Not saying Ball will have such an impact. But he looks like a guy that can be in the rotation and help.

Whoever Beyond The Portal is likes the pickup. Encouraged by the defensive metrics.

Playmaking being an “F” is kind of concerning. I get he’s not a point guard but surely he can help create opportunities for us to score in some capacity. Couple that with a “C+” scoring efficiency and seems like he’s a defensive pickup.
Also interesting his NIL is valued between $288K-$432K. With essentially no scoring threat would have to think it’s closer to the $300K range, which again is fine. Not everyone can be a starter and get the big NIL funds. Hopefully he becomes a solid role player for us.
But how about we finish committing our funds to actual contributors before committing it to end of bench players? What we have right now isn’t good enough to compete in our league let alone compete for a postseason birth.
