He's played the last 2 years in the USA playing high school ball in California. He's a good shooter who might need to redshirt to bulk up a bit. He's currently a 4 star recruit according to 247 and almost cracks the top 100. It'd be a nice pickup. Miller usually only uses 8 or 9 man rotations anyways. We have our rotation set for the most part

Reminds me a lot of the 2003 class that brought in Radenovic (from nearby Serbia), Walters and Shakur. That team finished 11-7 in the PAC-10. Fun to watch though.

Desparation?
I can see how it can look that way, but when you look at our roster right now, we are missing a big wing, that does not need to have the ball in his hands to make an impact.

Right now, Mathurin/Terry are going to be our pesudo-SF for 2020-21, so we could take this kid, put him as our #3 SF, let him get a year of spot minutes and an elite strength/weight-training program?
I do not see an issue with this kid coming in 2021 as being our primary wing at 6'8 and able to shoot the way he does.

Always skeptical of white euro's. Rarely do they make a major or significant contribution. The athleticism and physical nature of the game is usually too much for them.

Jack Murphy: Kid fills a hole and looks like he will prosper in our system

CSM: nah, some guys on the college hoops boards might think we're acting desperate, we should just turn out the lights and pack this shit up instead of adapting and overcoming

Arizona  needs shooting an it seems like he can provide it   an if Arizona  does not land Walton  which sounds like they will not bring in tibet in.
