To be honest, he doesn’t really fit on our team right now.


What? He fits on any team.

We are already Guard heavy


That's debatable. We lose Parker, and I would hardly say our guards were a strength of the team.

As of right now we have no one to compliment him. Responding to your other comment, we currently have 4 Guards plus JoJo Toppin and Etorrion Wilridge are both 2/3’s.

That gives us 6 guys that can play either the 1, 2, or both. With the roster the way it is right now we have so many guards a good player won’t play like Jordan Harris. Problem is Jordan Harris is the most athletic player on the floor period, when he is in the game. Hagans would give us 7 guards.

Maybe we sit Tyree. Potentially our best 3pt shooter and if he can learn how and when to attack the rim he can be a real weapon. He has yet to fully learn this yet but is improving.

Turtle is your next option but he gives you a great deal of experience. Also gives you a lot of inconsistency but being a Sr This next year he should bring more leadership.

Who else do we have around Hagans that would really compliment him?
Derek Ogbeide? No
Mike Edwards? Hell No!
Isaac Kante? No
Rayshaun Ham? Not yet but potentially
Nic Claxton? Not yet but potentially
Jordan Harris? You woulda thought so but again not yet but potentially.
Amanze Ngumenzi? Probably not but really unknown
Tyree Crump? Offensively yes but Probably not because of matchup problems with his defense.

Personally I liked Mark Fox and you all are well aware that I didn’t want him fired. That being said, Fox’s recruiting drove me nuts. We have a lot of combo guards and combo Forwards. Fox never brought in a true center and after Charles Mann left we haven’t had a true Point Guard until Teshaun Hightower.

I say that because JJ Frazier wasnt a great creator for other people and he was better in a supplemental role with Mann at the Point.

I say all that to say this, as of right now our roster doesn’t matchup well for Ashton hagans to come in and be a real difference maker. If our guys develop then yes he could. I would really like a quality big man that is 6’10 plus to transfer in that we can get a lot of offensive production out of.

This would require Mike Edwards or Isaac Kante to transfer or quit, Preferably Edwards. We could also use Toe to transfer and then we could target white Kid who can really play and can shoot the lights out. IMO, this would fix our roster and we would be highly competitive next year.
