Transfer Targets :: 2019

[Altman's Advisor]

added former Jays priority in 2018 in Arkansas transfer Keyshawn Embery

Forgot about him. Will the staff be as interested this time around?

Pretty sure he was a Lutz target.

West Virginia's Lamont West is transferring. Averaged 11 & 5. 6'8 225

Yes please

But can he shoot the 3?

He's worth looking at, but the knock on him from West Virginia is that he's a softer player who doesn't always play hard and play hard D. Rebounding is 6.6 per 40 for his career, maybe not what you'd expect for his size. If the coaches like him, he does have the other capabilities, though. I don't think he moves the needle much, though.

Jays will likely also inquire about New England native Aaron Falzon. Jays made him a priority coming out of high school due to his elite shooting ability and size. Very similar mold as Ethan Wragge. Not overly mobile. He never found his stroke after back-to-back injuries at Northwestern. could be good depth if the Jays need a shooter off the bench.

the injuries really hurt him, but he has a real nice shooting stroke and size. He's not a rebounder or heavy presence inside, but the height works

We need a guard who can get to the rim, consistently, as his biggest strength. A guard who’s biggest strength isn’t the 3 is ok.

Hilltop, will we have any interest in Kira Lewis or John Petty from Bama?

Lewis is a 6’3 freshmen who averaged 13 ppg, Petty is a 6’5 sophomore guard who averaged 10 and 4

John Petty is staying at Bama and playing for Oats.
