Agree. I didn’t think Miller was a fit from start. (Never really had a suitable backup to Kaufman). Have said so in numerous cases. Kaufman was supposed to be TJD 2.0. I realize Kaufman is also more outside/in but he was the TJD replacement. They were counting on it.

Agreed. Like you said style of play stunk and it’s cost us. 
 

Archie should have ditched Devonte long ago if he was holding us back.  
 

Archie needs this years offense to not stink to show off to recruits. Convince all the guys to use their extra year of eligibility and get in good with some transfers.  If Brooks is still riding the pine maybe he could come idk. But something has to be different this year. Or we will be tracking flights within a few years.  Because until you have success in college basketball it’s all about momentum.

Because Parker Stewart graduated recently, there's a chance he's eligible to play immediately next semester at his next school. He hasn't decided whether he will play this season yet.

Good background on Parker Stewart from the UT Martin website.

Looks like a decent big guard and certainly could play in a three guard system with his size. While he doesn’t shoot it as well as you’d like against lower D1 competition, that has been on volume shooting.

Might be more than just passing interest in grad transfer Parker Stewart.

Aminu replacement?

Not my take on "the plan." 

I would think Aminu decides on the 15th, and if we don't get our big wing, we are all in on PStewart.

The article doesn't add that:

• He has two+ years of eligiblity left.
• He was All-Academic ACC as a frosh.
• He was playing off-ball at Pitt and was over 40% from 3 with very low turnover #s. At UT Martin he had the ball in his hands alot, and still was 36% from 3, albeit with lots of TOs. We've got two pgs to keep him happy.

Rosy take Stuhoo.

Devils advocate. 

He’s a volume scorer shooting at a clip of %41 FGpct against average to below average composition.  

So he’s a taller Devonte Green. 

We’ll see.

I think the "less rosy" take would be that his 9.1 ppg scoring at Pitt is far more representative of his potential production than his small conference 19.2 ppg.

Also, there's only one DeVonte Green (lol). Walking contradiction, ultra-complex players like DeVonte are uniquely themselves and no one else.

Like Devonte in that he loves shooting 3s. Shoots a decent/good clip from 3. Shoots a low FG percentage.

 

My point is, his stats don’t project as a great addition. I also realize players can improve or be better versions of themselves in other situations, however, the stats are the biggest proof of what to expect, and all else is conjecture.

I think his freshman stats at Pitt as a catch and shoot wing are pretty good. Low fg%, but high 3pt%, ft%, rebounds, decent to/assist. When he was a soph at 19.2 ppg his turnovers went way up, but other stats stayed good anf fg% went up (while 3pt% was down a bit, but still good:

 

STATS
Pitt 2017-18

 

GP	MIN	FG%	3P%	FT%	REB	AST	BLK	STL	PF	TO	PTS
32	26.2	38.3	38.6	80.0	3.3	0.9	0.2	0.4	1.6	0.6	9.1

No thoughts on the kid’s game yet. But for the get old stay old crowd, Stewart is already 22 years old. If he takes the rest of this year off and plays 2 he’ll be a 24 year old senior. How very BYU.

[lillurk]

I wouldn’t worry too much about his overall FG% given the 3 point acumen. As a frosh, 78% of his FGs were 3s; last year it was 53% of his FGs: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/parker-stewart-1.html

Now his 2 point shot selection? Not good when he takes them. Too many two point jumpers, too often unassisted though he was good at the rim at UT-Martin (60%).

An IU romance with Parker Stewart could be brief.  We'll know later today when he cuts his list per Rabjohns.

Is he the back-up to Mohammed? Either or right? Not likely we take both?

The backup only In the sense that Aminu is deciding first.

Not sure which one would be a better fit for Indiana, but I am sure that either would be a big addition.
