'14 NV SG Namon Wright ('16 TNFR to COLORADO)

Sit out a year and then have 2 to play, correct?

This would be my favorite of all previous options. Power 6 wing who has proven he can go for 10/6 against top competition even when unhappy and used poorly by his coach.

Please let this happen.

He's got a 20/5 game on the road against a tourney team (Ole Miss). Love the 12/12 game @ Arkansas. Should be a plus rebounder for his size & he's a better shooter than he showed last year.
 
Interesting note - he had a better rebounding rate in 2015-16 than every Buff that wasn't named Josh Scott. Gets to the line a lot and knocks them down when he gets there. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to be a very efficient offensive player. That said, I want to know how much of that was him and how much of it was the dumpster fire of a program he was playing for. They were 13th in the SEC in offensive efficiency, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt even though his shooting leaves a little to be desired.
 
Missouri coach Kim Anderson repeatedly praised the overall development of Wright’s game during the season even as his shooting percentages dipped dramatically compared to his freshman campaign. Wright more than doubled his rebounding output as a sophomore and also added the ability to drive to his offensive repertoire, going to the free-throw line 109 times last season after only 18 such trips his freshman season.

Interesting seeing that Wright completely changed his game from his frosh year to soph year. Gives me even more hope. Kid was a top level talent out of HS. This would be a huge get.

Tory & Wes were significantly ahead of him in total rebound % on sports-reference. He led Mizzou in rebounding. Apparently, he has a hitch in his shot that needs work. Good analysis here: http://www.rockmnation.com/mizzou-b...hoops-postseason-player-analysis-namon-wright

****, typo on my part. DEFENSIVE Rebounding percentage. Got it right on my tweet, ****ed it up here. Thanks.
 


Maybe I'm just a sucker for social media but, he gave Rick George the follow back too. I'm feeling better about our chances with Namon than I did with Jimmy or Dom.
 
I've been looking, but Namon isn't very active on social media. He tweets about once a week. And CU MBB keeps things very close to the vest.

Basically, I got nothing.
 
Great player. Great fit.

Added bonus: Should keep J-R-K away from allbuffs for a while.
 
This is really apples to oranges in effect, but it takes a little sting out of yesterday's Patrick Carr news. Welcome, Buffalo!
