Some crazy length on the wings with him and Bal (6'6 - 6'11 wingspan) in the future.YoDeFoe wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 8:48 pmJust gotta note here: Pelle Larsson is 6'5" 215lbs with a 6'9" wingspan - this kid is not at all slight. Compared to our guards/wings last season, he's got 30lbs on Akinjo or Terrell Brown, 20lbs on Baker and Mathurin and Terry. He's the most stout and physical guard at the point of arrival on campus that we've had since Rawle - who was only 5lbs heavier. Pelle is an athlete. The prime reason Larry K inserted him into the starting line-up was to have more physical guard play on both sides of the ball.TheCat wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 6:04 pm I think Pelle is a good pickup as a shooter. My fear with Kerr is that he also has to play on the defensive side of the ball. I think he is a pest and will take charges and make some hustle plays but quite frankly I do not see him able to guard the guys that Oregon or UCLA will put out there. I don't think other teams will fear Kerr's ability to penetrate and finish because of his size and strength. That limits what I hope is a great weapon of penetrate and kick to Pelle and Ben for three. Pelle looks slight but he does have some height but he needs some muscle and weight. Hope I'm wrong but that is what Kerr has shown me to date (small sample).
And again: Pelle had the lowest shot usage % of anyone on the Utah team last season. He may have been crazy efficient from deep, but Utah wasn't giving him PT for his buckets.
Quick edit: Larsson is the same size as Josh Green when Green was measured at the combine. Same height, wingspan, and weight.
As an aside
I wonder if Bal is going to get ranked by 247 now that Gershon and Daniels are gone. Bossi didn't rank international kids when they committed to a US college at Rivals. An older article from Daniels said he'd be a 4*.
One of the major reasons Arizona is 11 out of 12 in the conference recruiting rankings right now.
