Could be a real playmaker. Behind the back pass a deadly part of his arsenal.

Seth Towns being healthy has been the key to OSU for two years in a row. I just don’t think it is a thing anymore.
MSU can be good without stars when their parts fit what Izzo wants to do - defense, rebounding, and running. You could argue that their roster even without Christie has some of that and aligns with his vision. The problem I see is that there have been times when I really like Walker or Hall but they are so erratic and often can’t even get 25 minutes. I think Akins can be really good too…but what reason is there to believe Izzo will play him enough with two other guards on the roster that he likes?

Him (Givony) and Vecenie both have him pretty comfortably inside the top 20. I can’t imagine he won’t leave if the first round is his criteria.

who would OSU hire in that scenario? Jeff Boals?

Put together a Big Ten roster sheet again this year: Big Ten 2022-23 Rosters - Google Sheets
A lot of very ugly rosters. Gonna be a very transfer dependent league next year. Still a lot of uncertainty about Covid seniors though, so those rosters might even be more bare than I have right here

I hope Holtmann stays put. I’ve enjoyed his tenure there. He’s in that sweet spot where he wins too many games to get fired but doesn’t win championships or make deep tourney runs. Excellent for a rival coach.

Interesting pickup, another stankonius defender but 20ppg is 20ppg
Holtmann certainly has a type

I’m sure that 55% FT rate is gonna hold up going from the Horizon to the B1G…
For real this guy is a wing that took 41 3s. Not impressed. But also not entirely sure what kind of role he’s supposed to take on

Yeah I guess it depends on the expected role. If he’s the next…Jimmy Sotos, whatever. If he’s the Branham backfill…not so good

He seems like a good pickup if you only need 20% usage from him.

Is it crazy that pending UMich/Kofi decisions I like Indiana’s starting 5 the best if TJD back? Don’t wanna trust them but Xavier Johnson with a Bates leap could be great

F that. Go straight for the head of the snake.
Izzo is a great coach who should get MSU back on track.
