I have a feeling he’s gonna be one of those dudes.

I haven’t been able to see practices.
But it was hard to miss pregames and social media videos where the dude was knocking down 3 after 3.
All this offseason talk about him, just feeds it.
Dude is going to ball.

Would y’all be shocked if he earned a starting position?

Not at all, but it kind of depends on how Sampson wants to roll with the lineup.

With Sharp sliding over into LJ’s spot, I think Harwell, McCarty and Mercy will battle for that role at the beginning of the year.

If Sampson sees McCarty purely as a 4, then he’s probably first off the bench behind Cenac. We’ll need guys who can shoot, so if he’s that dude, then he’ll be in the starting rotation.

Every year there is a player who didn’t play much or not at all then all of a sudden, the next year you can’t take them out of the game.

Chase makes 1000 3s a day and is the same height as Jwan and his wingspan is 2 inches longer than Jwan and Cooper Flagg with a wingspan of 7’2.

I feel like Chase will play similar to Justin Gorham but with even more 3’s made.

Who was that player last season?

I thought that J’wan was 6’8?

Gotta be Mylik… he doesn’t really fit the “not able to pull from the game” description but he did drastically improve and carved out a nice role in the 8 man rotation…

See, I don’t think he drastically improved. I think he was that good even the previous season, he just had more limited opportunities and wasn’t able to get in full rhythm that season. I wasn’t surprised at all, by his play this past season.

The biggest difference in Mylik is that he went from shooting .241 from 3 to .359

That’s pretty drastic…

No Jwan exact height was 6’ 6.5 without shoes. Chase is also 6’6.5 without shoes.

For perspective Cooper Flagg without shoes height is 6’7.75 and Jwan is clearer over an inch shorter.

Where was this confirmed?

Official Measurements taken by the NBA for Cooper and official measurements by Bishop for Mccarty and Jwan

Do you have a link?

chase is 6’6 with shoes… jwan is 6’6 without shoes

if he is 6’6 without shoes… chase might be one of the best nba stock risers… but im not sure i buy it

we’d list him at 6’8 if he was 6’6 without shoes … we still list him at 6’6

Speaking of Flagg… he lead Duke in points, steals, rebounds and assists last season… that’s crazy!
