Hope he gets the offer.

If he handles his business he will be a Hog no doubt.

Cool.  Thanks for update RD.

He reminds me a great deal of Chris Lofton but with much better handles...

I'm guessing he will commit soon, if it's his choice.

JackJohnson

My gosh this kid is an efficient scoring machine!  I LOVE that he apparently has a knack of getting to the line (over 8 times a game!) and of course shoots them at almost a 90% clip.  This is crucial when not only closing out a game, but a way to get some "cheap" points against good defensive teams or when the team is having an off night.  Hope the kid commits soon bc he is about to blow up nationally...

Minus the jumper? I see what you see in terms of style of play, but Chris Lofton was a next level marksman. Macon is decent from the arc.

No doubt. Tied for 5th all-time in NCAA history with 431 made 3-point FGs. Broke Pat Bradley's SEC record.

I would say Junior Season Stef Welsh is a better comparison.

azhog10

He had 24 pts in that video and had a really nice stroke. He was definitely on that game.

Stef Welsh is a great comparison, I wasn't feeling that Chris Lofton comparison.

Steph Welsh? Yuck! No thanks.

Thepigdoctor

Love the comment about how he works on his shooting, makes 500 shots and 200 free throws. Takes us back to the days of the aforementioned Bradley who used to stay in the gym until he'd hit x number of three's. Repetition, repetition, repetition...you can't teach work ethic, my boss knows that better than anyone.

Yeah I think he is somewhere in the middle.  Stefan Welsh did some things well, but he was a terribly inefficient scorer.  I think Macon would come off the bench behind Beard and Whitt, but give us a needed offensive punch on the 2nd unit.

I used to hope and pray Welsh would hit 1 free throw every time he went to the line. Two was too much to ask.

No Kiddin. Lofton is one of the best shooters ive ever seen.

Yea, junior Steph Welsh wasn't bad at all.  If Macon can give us 11 PPG, I would say it was a very successful JUCO pick-up, though I will say this, I think Macon will be a much better free throw shooter and his 3p% should be at least 35%.  Chris Lofton, I mean he was one of the best guys in the conference during his day, putting up 20 PPG, I don't really think that's a realistic comparison for Macon. 

I don't think guys understand it's a big jump from JUCO to D1.  Just to give you guys an idea, Durham averaged 21 PPG and shot 44% from 3 p% in JUCO, his first year with hogs he averaged 2 PPG.

If he walks in at day one and starts there this could be an addition we really need!  I hope you are accurate in that comparison

I don't consider .363 FG% and .301 3FG% very good

Welsh has good form on his shot. It just wouldn't go down

Wasn't Jabril in a much smaller JUCO league? I could be wrong but for some reason thought Jabril was in JC D2 and Macon is in JC D1.

Welsh had horrible shot selection. Never saw a shot he didn't like. He would get hot once every 7 or so games. But he was bad in transition, turned it over stupidly, and felt he always had a green light when he had a hard red.

Anybody who liked SW's game is a victim of the Stan Heath-John Pelphrey era of terrible Razorback basketball. Bless your hearts.

As awful as it feels to say, nobody outworked Rotnei Clarke in the gym.  500 makes for him was a warmup.  He lived in the gym.  If Macon has a 1/4 of that work ethic, and I think he does, he should be a good player for us, if he commits.

I would rather him come in with low expectations. JUCO's are hard to project, you just never know. If he exceeds them, great! But I say Welsh as a comparison because their heights and style of play and skills sets are similar.

Jabril played at Seminole State, which is a JC D1.

The last couple of games this season, I started finally seeing Durham play with a level of quickness and aggressiveness I was hoping he had. I don't think he will be a major contributor for us, but he might have a mini-juco breakthrough his senior year.

If Jabari can just make a few 3's and get some assists for the second unit while playing good D, I'll be happy. We desperately needed some offenses guidance and firepower with our 2nd team.

As far as Macon goes, I'm definitely impressed by this young man's shooting abilities (as said before, a huge need) and I see him committing soon.

Both JUCO D1

I liked the comparison, they both kinda have the same "swagger" same type of frame, height, and both like to shoot.  I didn't really think a junior Stef Welsh comparison was an insult or anything, he had a decent junior year.  I do think Macon is better shooter though from what I seen, but I'm guessing in a lower level Welsh was lighting it up as well, we'll have to wait and see, really hard to project JUCOs as you said. 

With all that said, I'm really excited about Macon, seems like he really wants to be a Hog, and I feel he's a guy that can compete for a spot in the rotation right away and hopefully provide another outside threat.  He should be one of the top ranked JUCO guys coming out of 2016.

So the junior who got beat out by the freshmen "probably should" start over the same guy a year later? Wow...That's interesting logic.

I think he is saying if Durham plays to his potential, not that he should just be handed the job.

A lot of JUCO players, who end up good, have a rough first season.

I realize that, but Beard was the one who was offered by multiple high-major D1 schools out of high school (Mizzou, Arkansas, UMASS, Tennessee). Durham had to go NAIA out of high school and ended up at Arkansas as a less than plan A guy.

I think if we're talking potential, Anton wins out 100 times out of 100.

I think Durham is a much better passer and shooter at this stage, and I expect a huge jump his senior year

Relax, I'm not saying beard sucks at all
