Basketball roster analysis, recruiting etc.

He is a SF that will play PF in college. He is a great shooter (hopefully in games as well). He is a bigger version of Parsons/DFS

1. Why if Stone is a SF would he play PF in college? The only reasons a big who can shoot from the arc plays PF in colleges is his team needs his rebounding, he can not dribble well enough for play the 3 or he can not defend quicker 3s well enough to play the 3.

2. He played 4 games in the EYBL in 2014. In those games he was 0-4 from beyond the arc

so I have no evidence he is a shooter beyound the arc, but I sure hope you are right about that. UF always can use a big who can stretch the defense.

3. Parsons measure 6'8.75" tall without shoe at the NBA combine.

(Parsons did grow some at UF and Stone might too.) Finney-Smith measured 6'6" at Porthmouth and 6'6.5" the NBA combine without shoes.

There is controversy about the measurements at the NBA combine this year and the NBA is investigating so the Portsmouth number might be better. No matter which measurement you want to take, Parsons and Finney-Smith are NOT the same size at all.

Of course by "bigger" you may well mean Stone is stockier than Parsons and Finney-Smith which at his UF listed weight of 233 last year, he may well be. That is part of why I see him more of a 4 who has some weight to throw around inside.

I'm going to guess that Hodge and Richard were the first two off the bench and Speights was probably the 8th or 9th man.

You're correct, I had him confused with Chris Richards who earned that award in 06-07.
