Seems like a strong guard. He does turn the ball over a tad too much. Hope X surrounding players can benefit from his driving and dishing.

McNight has a nice stroke and a quick release. Looks every capable of creating his own shot. Would love to find out he plays a bit more above the rim than what I’ve seen in the one video I watched. Still, he does look like a very capable bucket getter and someone who could be a key contributor on a team that has aspirations to get to the Final Four and beyond.
Welcome to the family Dayvion! Let’s Go X!
Does getting McNight mean Taran Armstrong is no longer an option? I liked his game a lot too.
I know we need at least two guards, but both are listed as PG. I like Olivari too. Let’s get all three.
He’s 6:1. Doubt he’ll be playing “above the rim”.Quote:

Taran Armstrong is 6:6. Different player. We still have to replace Kunk at SG.Quote:

Miller has said he REALLY wants 2 point guards who can also score.
To me, it looks like olivari would be a better compliment to mcknight’s commitment. Taran doesn’t seem to be a good shooter, and already have green coming in. I’d think x would be looking for a good outside shooter at that second guard spot.Quote:

But we need a shooter now out of the portal.
The big from UVA never shoots 3s at all. We dont have to take alot of 3's (ahem...paging Travis Steele), but we need to have the THREAT of taking 3s.
Agreed he is not a great shooter. He has been at 34% the last two years after 18% his freshman year, so a little better. I have seen a handful of Western Kentucky games and they left the ball in his hands a lot, so he may have had to hoist a few at the end of the clock in desperation, which may have decreased that percentage a little. Also may be why he has a little higher turnover percentage.
