Mayer did his in 22-23 minutes a game, Grandison did his in 25-26 minutes per game...oh and there is still the "I played on a NC team experience as well" thing he has going for him, and the improvment on defense. Next dumb comment.

They each played 15 minutes a game on a #1 seed in 2020-21. Grandison has been the better player each of the last 2 seasons.

Fact this guy is looked at as a big difference maker by some of you (even 247 sports which is asinine) shows you just don’t look at stats.

A 6’9 guy that shoots 40% from the field is not a positive.

40% from areas, most other 6'9" guys don't even shoot it from.

Mayer shot 40/32/70.
Grandison 45/41/82

Next question
Sure: Why are you comparing a 6-6 3-guard with a 6-9 forward?

Anyway, if you look at field attempts per game, you're talking about a whopping 1.4 missed shots per game difference.

Mayer: 8.8*.6 + 4.12*.68 = exp. 8.1 missed shots per game
Grandison: 7.4*.55 + 4.4*.59 = exp. 6.7 missed shots per game

Mayer averaged 8.8 rebounds over 40 minutes. Grandison averaged 6.0. In real terms, the difference was 1.2 rpg, so Mayer essentially makes up for any field goal shooting discrepancy even if they played the same role and we ignore that Mayer's team was 1 seed who tied for a conference title with the national champs.

Don't feed the troll.

Will take Mayer all day over Grandison. Anybody who understands basketball would. When Grandison was not hitting the three, he was pretty much a non factor and played below average D.

Note that Mayer was invited to the combine.

He needs 3-5 more minutes.
Still hiding behind innuendo and practicing the art of ommision.

Rodgers looks like a college football player trying to play basketball.  He’s got a football body.  Skill wise he’s well below average at dribbling, and shooting, in what you’d expect to see from a perimeter player.  So he will probably play the 4.

Sure Underwood will compare him to Draymond Green or JaeSean Tate, but most low skill under height 4s wash out at high D1 but can put up big numbers at mid-majors which I think is a level Rodgers athleticism works at best.  His role at Illinois will be similar to Verdonk, but a better finisher around the basket.
