I would too...I was just surprised at the low number of attempts...I would have figured that he would pick up more fouls around the basket given his high 2 pt percentage. Much more upside than downside...
Shakur Juiston on njcaatv.com tonight
- Thread starter BryceC
- Start date
Yeah. He has a very odd type of game. Undersized, but terrific rebounder, terrible outside shot, and poor ft shooter. Almost all his points come from put-backs, and dump-offs.
I just saw they lost to power house Utah State tonight. It's mind boggling how they don't dominate the midmajor conference they're with the talent they get.
I've looked up UNLV's scores throughout the season - each time hoping to find that they lost. I hope they continue to wallow in mediocrity & that some day their cheating practices will be found out.
I assumed this kid had run out of eligibility
Juiston would be a grad transfer according to this site. Sounds like UNLV needs to hire Thad Matta quick or the whole team is going to transfer:

Their games are nothing alike. Juiston is like Hogue with a worse jumper
Actually, those kids perhaps get the best of both. $ for initially committing there, and then transfer somewhere else where they can actually receive good coaching and win some ballgames.
No Juiston is like Jordan but 6’8”. I’ve read this thread I know.
You would think the bridge is well burnt with our staff.
I doubt Prohm appreciates what went down or wants involved in it, even as a second-order rebound as the UNLV program is burning down. That train has sailed.
Besides, we need guards/wings/shooters. I think we are pretty well set for big men between Jacobson, Young, Conditt, Lard, and Anderson for next season.

Game doesn't equal role. I'm more thinking as a top scoring threat that is long and can defend multiple positions. In JUCO he shot 60%+ from the field. UNLV's terrible roster did he no benefit
Agreed. Taking it another step - I think going to UNLV shows poor character and low intelligence, either from the player or his handlers. Not something this staff should have to deal with and hasn't by and large.
Unless he’s changed his game recently, he’s not going to be top scoring threat like Shayok. But he may still score a decent amount, which is why he’s got so much value.
We need guards and have a lot of posts for just 40 minutes, but he’d get time imo.
Remember when the UNLV fans told us things would be different since Rice was gone? Good times
