That’s why I tend to lean toward Sochan, a dude that is that good defensively has to have that “want it” factor. We can figure out the offensive side with him (see Herbert Jones).

No matter what anybody tells you, Herb was REALLY bad on offense when he left Bama. I luv stats, but Herb shot an ugly 71% on FTs his senior yr. and anybody that thinks Herb was a legit 35% from 3 (which he did) just didn't watch Herb play. Strange things can happen, with an extremely limited sample size. Herb was actually a liability on the offensive end...and they would not even guard him outside for the last part of the season. If Herb was showing improvement on the offensive end his Sr year, I promise you he woulda been drafted MUCH earlier.

For several reasons, Herb was just at a standstill offensively. Given the situation with his college team, it was just the way it had to be. They were too busy trying to win...to work on Herb's offense.

I thought Herb’s offense at Alabama was good. Along with his defense, his ball handling was really good. Any of are picks need to be able to handle the ball well.

UA used Herb as a point forward much of the time under Avery and Oats. He brought the ball up, initiated the offense, and was one of the primary guys to force a drive when things got stagnant.

Re: Sochan…just don’t understand why we would reach for a non-offensive big that is a poor rim protector. Eason has waaay more upside to me.
