Great Value Kawhi Leonard (Phlandrous Fleming Jr.)

You're saying he's better than Tre Mann?

 

He’s way better than Kawhi Leonard.

 

How does his defense look?

 

Great value? Is that what the portal has come to? Soon they will have an expected NIL signing bonus that goes along with the portal rankings. I'm sure schools are learning how to put together NIL packages to lure potential players since Kentucky and Duke were not willing to share their ideas over the last 10 years.

 

Standup 101–if you have to explain it, it ain’t funny. And I have no idea what brand is connected to Great Value. Obviously I wish great success at UF for the young man.

 

Most curious to see him out of the 4 transfers just because of how vastly his role probably changes from being a super high-volume shooter on a bad team. If he raises his play and improves shot selection with better players around him he could have a great year. I understand that his shot selection was probably a necessity at Charleston Southern but hes gonna have to tone it down here. Not worried at all about his defense transferring to this level and his 3pt shooting should improve to something more in line with his 80% from the foul line with better opportunities created for him

 

Murphree - Thanks man. Appreciate the insight. Encouraging. Lets hope he is a big contributor.

Like I have been harping - It's all conjecture until the squad hits the hardwood.

Kind of interesting in Football and Basketball this year. Not quite sure what to expect but in these situations I just put on my O&B glasses and hope for the best.

It's not like Gator nation was expecting a championship basketball team in 2006
either.

Lightning in a Bottle? - Perhaps!!!!!

Go Gators!!

 

If it makes you feel better, I got it immediately. Poor man's KL would have worked as well.

 

KJ is muscular, nearly 4’ of vertical, can finish on a drive amongst any bigs and can shoot the three. Also he is 6’5” warrior. Now if you are comparing this guy to KJ, naw! Do I hope he can do what KJ does, sure. But, show me you got game when Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas are played on the road. We are paper thin when it comes to bigs, just shooting threes and playing defense, is not playing consistent ball to keep you in the top twenty teams in division 1. FSU will come calling early, we get an answer to how this team is going to fare against good teams. For us to get some good exposure in the press, which now is non existent, we have to show we can beat good teams. We need in the press to give weekly and daily reports of what the team is doing. Tell us about an early kickoff to the season and show the fans we need you. Are we so introverted or not caring as to what our fans need and want. Let’s get behind the basketball program. Kudos for taking the time to give us your thoughts on this new player. Hopefully, you have seen him practicing with the new Gator team. Sorry if I am ranting over the men’s basketball program exposure, “the lack of any” !

 

Good stuff MH. Here's hoping is plays out on the floor!

 

I have not seen Fleming play, so I can’t evaluate him. He played on the worst team in one of the worst conferences in the country. He shot 32% from the 3-point line which was an improvement over the 25.9% and 28.9% from the prior 2 years. His overall shooting percentage last season was 39.5%. Maybe, he will turn out to be outstanding this coming season, but I will not be holding my breath.

 

Yeah I was not enthused on first glance at those numbers but if you look at the difficulty and volume of shots he was taking the picture gets a little clearer, talk about a stagnant offense with no other threats
