Aliaksei Patsevich, make sense to me. A junior transfer from Collin County...should fit right in to "Doh's system."

Same person...

I think Pats will make an immediate contribution. I agree that he isn't the type of player to force the situation, but I can see him hitting a few 3's, make a couple of great passes, & play solid, smart, basketball.

I saw Pats play several times last season. The best I saw him play was against former U of H & now starting G for a very good Utah State team, Brockeith Pane. Pats was able to handle the pressure that Pane put on him defensively & in return, Pats held his own defensively against Pane.

Good ball handler, beautiful 3 point stroke , & an excellent passer.

Supposedly best outside shooter on the team currently - others may have better read on that.

Doh said that Rob was the best shooter he had ever seen. What does that make Losh?! The possibilities are terrifying

this offense has shown in recent weeks that anyone who gets hot from the perimeter can/will contribute on any given night. Let's hope he, along with 1-2 others find their range tonight and the Ponies roll

Too much optimism on this thread, we're gonna get run.

It's about night in and night out.

I think that's just what it's going to be this year. Honestly, I'd think the 3rd guy is currently our 3rd leading scorer, Clink. He's a kid that isn't scared, doesn't defer, and isn't afraid to launch. Pats is clearly a better player, but it's just asking an awful lot for the kid to come in w/11 games to play, after missing the first 2 months of practice. I'm sure he's up to speed w/the system etc, but Pats is the type of silent assassin that will thrive w/lots of talent around him. He's about floor game, not getting his.

He wasn't allowed to practice?

Leslee & Vilde could practice from Day 1. Losh couldn't practice till late last month

Losh aka Willis Reed!!!!

He looked nervous, and probably should have converted after the steal on the break. Knew it was going to take a minute to get him up to speed.

did he play at all in the second half? The stats showed he played only 12 minutes. Is he in game playing shape?

did not look comfortable out there - out of position a lot on Defense.

It will take him a few games I guess

I would think closer to the rest of the year. Its an impossible situation to miss 2 months of practice, practice for a month, then have 11 games to play.
