re: It sounds like Will Wade got Daryl Edwards...

Whether true or not, that notion comes from Wade running an aggressive system, while Mays plays extremely slow.

He is talented and likely can adapt, but that is the origin of the thought.

I guess I personally don't see Mays as a slow player, but to each their own.

What I've taken from Wade is he wants:

layups, free throws, three pointers, suffocating defense.

I think his ability to get to the rim is something that Wade cherishes. I felt at times this year he could get fouled almost on que and had the highest FT% on our team. He also had the highest steal rate on the team last year which I know is not necessarily a byproduct of hard nosed defense but at least shows his desire for the ball.

He needs to develop his 3 point shot a little more but we have seen a lot of players raise their 3 point percentage a ton between year 1 and year 2 when they realize that is something they need to develop.

Personally I think Mays has some serious upside and should be one of the more successful 4 year players LSU has seen. He made some freshman mistakes last year but I think he for sure has shown some serious skill that will fit nicely into LSUs "new" style of play.
