Pretty dang good. It might not translate but I think there’s some reason for optimism on the defensive end. Shooting at 30% from 3 in the league is more questionable though for sure

Malcolm Reynolds

Interesting. Looks like he was a mid year enrollee at Udub. Probably a bench guy

arcawley

Definitely a high upside developmental player, similar to Mboup

tacallaway

Mar 29, 7:33pm

I think this is the right read

VinnyBYU

I think he's quite a bit more polished than Mboup. He played in a Euro U21 pro

I expect him to contribute but doubt he starts. Could be wrong.

tacallaway

Mar 29, 9:27pm

I could see him being a Mawot Mag 3 and D guy that starts and plays 25+ minutes

Trappist1F

I wouldn’t be shocked if MBoup breaks the rotation at some point

Idk I just read that he is projected to be a NBA draft pick in 2026

Interesting. Was kinda hoping we’d go after a more proven guy but KY knows more

arcawley

Mar 29, 7:38pm

Patience. Proven guys are still coming. This is still a high upside guy.

ldssdl

Mar 29, 7:45pm

A high upside guy who apparently created drama at Washington. Still trust KY tho

Quotes from Danny Sprinkle from On3 article about him transferring to BYU

No drama. Visa issues and joined the team super late.

I would love 2 and dones to accompany the one and done

Hey Mandaquit: Take note!

BackPacker

we could have signed mandaquit, we did not want to match Washinton

I know that. Which is why I still said that TIC.

Some highlights…

I always want these highlight videos to show defensive highlights.

start at 5:47 of this one

There is a lot to like here. I really like his vision and awareness of both

AF'er

6’7” athlete with length and shooting. Guards multiple positions. I feel KY is

I remember watching Lohner highlights...they can be deceiving.

He sure does love him some baseline. Looks super athletic and loves to take it

JamDownSouth

Mar 29, 7:37pm

At least a 7' wingspan. Dunking looks effortless. Interesting prospect.

Mostlyaccurate

Mar 29, 7:38pm

Only watched the first half. Hardly any contact from the defenders. So weird

Jfly1975

Mar 29, 9:45pm

Whoa- KY is wasting no time moving things forward

Kolipoki

Mar 29, 7:33pm

Mag replacement hopefully.

ConnCoug

Mar 29, 7:33pm

Love that Kevin Young is going after high caliber Euro prospects like Egor and

ldssdl

Mar 29, 7:34pm

I feel like Euro guys will fit in better than domestic guys. See Egor vs KC

Kolipoki

Mar 29, 7:36pm

Here's his announcement to the transfer portal. Shot 37% from 3 last he played

Mostlyaccurate

Mar 29, 7:43pm

I'm curious if he is a good free throw shooter

zerigke

Mar 29, 8:55pm

64% 😬

BabyBlues

Mar 29, 9:00pm

He will probably have the Mag role and shoot from the corners a lot

puntersarepeople

Mar 29, 9:33pm

3 pt good at 37%, but hope he can defend improve his 3 pt % like Mag did after

jaba166

Mar 29, 9:45pm

This article says he was projected to be drafted before he committed to UW

marinact

Mar 29, 7:54pm

I'm sure that's the idea in coming to BYU.

Plantagenet

Mar 29, 9:48pm

3 and D. I'd imagine we'll get a few more of those too

archie

Mar 29, 7:57pm

Is he actually a defensive guy?

MaximusMeridius

He had a 97.2 defensive rating in the U21 league

BabyBlues

Solid...thank you for actually answering my question!

MaximusMeridius

Mar 29, 8:39pm

Avg’d 1.8 steals in his U21 league in France…
