Re: NOY 2014-2015
Posted: July 28th, 2014, 11:01 amHis ceiling is higher than his brothers were. Is that NBA? Probably not. Is it pretty high, even by Valley standards? Well...one was a POY and the other is one of 2 players in conference history with 1,000 pts, 600 rbs, 100 3-pointers, 100 assists, 100 blocks and 100 steals.Born2Shock wrote:uniftw wrote:He has been very productive in the minutes he's played in his career. Sadly he is 2 inches to short to be a true post and doesn't shooter/dribble quite well enough to be a 3. I don't know that the staff knew what to do with him until it was too late. He was, by far, the most college ready body that's ever come into the program and they didn't know if they wanted him to be a wing or post.
He will likely see a decent amount of minutes at the 4 in a smaller line up as the dept the team has 1-3.
Friedman and Koch will back Tuttle up at the 5 and share those minutes.
I don't think anyone has said Koch is going to be anything other than a spot role player this season. Going forward there is every reason to believe he can/will grow into what his brothers were.
Most of the talk about him in this thread, prior to whomever it was going sarcastic douche, was about how he has progressed. No body has mentioned him in the context of even being NOY. It was said he needed the redshirt year to work on his body and then growing his game would be this year and next year.
The reality is he will probably be well into his rSo season before being anything more than a role/situational player. However, he has a very high ceiling...he just happens to have a starting floor than some.[/quote]
High ceiling compared to who? Early? Baker? Or Adam Wing? The defintion of high ceiling has changed the past few years. I know the summer is the season of eternal optimism. For the Valley, I hope he IS really good.
However, like has been said, he is starting from a little lower floor than those two in terms of being college ready.
