Let's play a game. Pick out whether they are describing Enaruna or Wilson.
A big perimeter prospect that possesses shooting ability and skill. He has very good size for the position and he's a good athlete. He has a solid build and one that would fill out further in a college weight room. He already plays well through contact. Shooting is among his biggest strengths. He has good shot mechanics, shot preparation and good range. He's also a good passer. Areas for improvement include creating space for pull-ups and ball handling. (Player) has the chance to be a first-round draft pick with development.
Has very good size but just has average length for a wing. A high-major perimeter prospect. Is an impressive athlete that gets off the ground with ease and quickness. Has good shot mechanics and a smooth, easy stroke. He’s also a good passer. The next step in his development is improving off the dribble, as he’s more of a straight-line driver at this stage. Also needs to get stronger.
Basically the same exact kind of prospect. And I'm curious as to how the staff is pitching Wilson right now.
I mean I would love to have both because I can only imagine how amazing a full on switching defense in 2020-2021 could be if you had Wilson, Enaruna, Ochai, Garrett and Braun on the floor at the same. Not to mention how well spaced the floor would be considering 4/5 of those guys could shoot. It'd be a thing of beauty.
I just am not going to get my hopes up that Wilson can 1. Contribute major minutes from day even if he comes here (if we don't expect minutes from Enaruna). And 2. Won't see Enaruna as a major threat for PT. Enaruna looks like the better athlete (and it isn't even close) on tape to me.
I think Bill has his roster for better or for worse. I think we whiff on Wilson, personally. The only meaningful player I could see us adding at this point is Walker. Who would fit right in. But either way, I think this group is a 30-win Top 10 team. As long as Bill can iron out the 3 point defense, this group has enough to make a runa at a FF. Nobody in the country has someone who can guard Doke. Dotson is a Top 5 PG. I think that's enough to make a FF run.
