After Chase Jeter I just have to see it before I mark these transfers down as contributors. I’m very interested in Batcho because seems like he knows what he’s doing in the post but he’s below-the-rim like Sabonis. If he’s not ready the frontcourt could be a detriment.
Not saying Brown is a lottery pick, but he's better than he showed at Nevada. That was a very old experienced team it was tough for a true freshman to get into the rotation.
He came a long way his last year in HS, if you read the old scouting reports on him the knock was he didn't seem to be progressing much, didn't get stronger, didn't seem to be developing. his family decided that was largely competition level, in HS he was a big fish in a small pond, so they put him at a better AAU program and then at Prolific Prep. I never got why people were saying 1 and done in HS, he's good but he's not particularly long for his size(not long arms) and he was young for his class and clearly still developing. Nevada had 8 guys on that roster that year that had scored in double figures and a head coach who doesn't play freshmen, he much prefers transfers. Not saying he was their best player and should have started just that his lack of PT was as much about Musselman as anything, he doesn't play his bench much and doesn't play freshmen at all.
I'm assuming a year at Arizona has him much stronger and more explosive.
he's got things to work on, had no left hand in HS, was considered a weak defender, that's something he got much better at with Prolific Prep the competition really helped him. But his primary issue has always been just not that strong so in that sense Arizona is perfect for him with Rounds.
