I don't think he's a post player.

He's a forward. I did see Alex Peters of Valpo dominate him when he played at UIC.
I think Peters had 25-30 points and Santos was in foul trouble and scored 6 points in 24 minutes.

And, you think he's "more experienced and more talented" than all the other wings and guards.

He's going to be a good piece as he's an athlete and has size, but he's got a slow release, isn't a great defender at the 3, and shoots around 35% from three in the Horizon League.

We'll see if he's the leading scorer next year.

Two somewhat older articles regarding Torrence Watson - longtimereader MU - 6/5 15:02:34

Watson is underrated IMO. I’m most excited about him (nm) - Hbombtiger STL - 6/5 15:19:03

In order of impact of new, eligible players... - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 15:46:40

Braun may end up redshirting (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 6/5 16:51:07

If you have Santos as four, you don't know JACK - itznotwillis MU - 6/5 16:39:55

Santos lead the team in scoring? - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:57:10

Team lead is between Santos and Jontay. - alwaysright MU - 6/5 17:49:44

Why so much confidence in a guy who - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 19:11:13

Because you think he's a post player and - alwaysright MU - 6/5 20:37:45

I don't think he's a post player. - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 21:12:31

You suggested he's competing with Tilmon & Jontay - alwaysright MU - 6/5 21:50:43

He'll start at the 3, but that's not his best position. - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 22:22:47

Just for you, I watched some more video. - alwaysright MU - 6/5 22:57:31

Thanks, I rewatched it for you too. - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 23:39:07

. - alwaysright MU - 6/5 22:57:15

thats basically Barnett, except Barnett has the high - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 22:38:44

Barnett would've only averaged 7 pts at UIC? - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 22:41:33

Barnett barely played at Texas - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 22:47:39

So, you didn't answer my question(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 23:39:23

There’s no way of knowing what Barnett would have done - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/6 11:10:42

It's not hard to make an educated guess. - tjwheeler UI - 6/6 12:13:32

If you look at advanced stats - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/6 12:31:03

I think the bottom line is people can draw their conclusion - longtimereader MU - 6/6 13:04:35

Agree with that(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 6/6 13:30:06

Can you lay out those stats? (re "basically had the same - tjwheeler UI - 6/6 12:52:17

Here’s a link - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/6 12:59:44

Cool. And, yet you're comparing stats at UIC vs - tjwheeler UI - 6/6 13:29:48

You could break it down further - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/6 16:12:31

Can't agree with that at all. - tjwheeler UI - 6/6 20:11:03

Are you purposely mis representing what he said - longtimereader MU - 6/5 21:46:33

"Team lead is between Santos and Jontay" - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 22:20:30

I've already mention below I missed that and gave my opinion - longtimereader MU - 6/5 23:43:12

Sorry, didn't see it. - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 23:57:14

I doubt Santos will struggle defensively - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 22:49:25

Well if you say so. (nm) - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 23:39:47

I did say he will compete with Jontay for the team lead, - alwaysright MU - 6/5 21:52:24

Then my apologies. I missed that, - longtimereader MU - 6/5 22:11:15

I would switch the order up - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 16:01:48

I guess it's a matter of preference on the 1st 2 - longtimereader MU - 6/5 16:14:12

I agree, it'c close but we need a scoring guard and Watson - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 16:17:02

I envision Santos to be more of a Barnett style of player - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 17:11:19

RE: In order of impact of new, eligible players... - Ragarm MU - 6/5 15:59:50

Pinson vs Jaylon Tate - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:20:54

Tate never improved at Illinois (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 6/5 16:26:11

He was a throw in to try and get Jabari. - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:29:55

That last statement may be the biggest plus in his corner - longtimereader MU - 6/5 16:10:04

I switch Santos and Braun all day in terms of next year(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 15:53:28

Healthy tho?(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:08:07

No reason to assume he isn't at this moment - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 16:13:02

Not injured this very second doesn't prove - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:22:14

Sure you can wonder about it all you want - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 16:31:01

"In order of impact" - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:33:22

Braun won't have much impact next year, we're deep there - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 16:36:33

And yet the position of greatest concern? - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:54:46

PG is for sure greatest concern(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 16:58:27

It’s been 2.5 years since his last injury - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 16:30:21

And two years since he played. - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 16:32:02

Didn’t he play the 16-17 season at UIC? - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 16:33:41

Yes he played 16-17 at UIC(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 16:37:09

Then I don’t know where the hasn’t played in 2 years - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 16:38:42

This article says 2 years removed in the header then - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 6/5 16:42:57

Well it does say "nearly" - longtimereader MU - 6/5 17:07:01

Yep, sat out one season. - tjwheeler UI - 6/5 17:04:00
