Danny Sprinkle on Brazilian Newcomer

You also mentioned obviously not having a first-rounder of Hannes' caliber. How does Whitney Brogdon fit into this mix where it just feels like his skill set just looks a little bit different than what we saw from Hannes when he first got here? Yeah, he's not Hannes. Yeah, he's not Hannes, and I don't want him to be compared to that. He's not even close. He's a good player. He's 20 years old. This is his freshman year. The style of play that they played in Brazil is completely different than college basketball. So it will be an adjustment. and obviously he didn't get into school until I think September 30th. He just got here and so he wasn't able to practice or do anything all summer and obviously he had to go back home until he got the test score and we finally let him into school once he got it and so unfortunately for him like at most schools he would have been practicing all summer with the team. I'm not going to go into it but we weren't able to do that here. Now he's here, but now he's 12 to 14 weeks behind. He just got here where everything we were implementing all summer and all of September, he doesn't know it. Now we have to go back and teach him little things before every practice and not overload him to get in. You guys probably saw the other day, he's out of shape right now. He does do some things that, like honest, he's a really good passer. I think that's one of the best things he can do. He made a three against Boise. He can do that at times. But I think the best thing he brings is physicality and rebounding and he can block some shots.
