Venky Jois has offers from 6 NBL clubs

He has often played a point-forward role in college on offense.

Could he be a 3-man in this league? Definitely not an outside shooter, but he could be effective on a team with strong outside shooters as a 3-man, as he looks like he has a reasonable handle, definitely rebounds well, and can take it to the hoop in spades.

Whoa now LC, don't dare bring facts and logic to a thread aimed and bashing someone!

He is actually a reasonable shooter - he shot over 70% from the line as a freshman. He has been experiencing the 'yips'.

The side he was playing with was loaded with shooters and hence that was not his role.

If he can get an outside shot going and drastically improve his ft shooting, he wouldn't be too dissimilar to draymond green.

The anon wanting to compare Majok Majok with Jois saying he would get monstered by him in the NBL.

Majok went to Ball State in the MAC, about the same level as where Jois is now and his last two years were not quite as good stats wise but similar, he wasn't drafted by the NBA and is now a decent 6' 9" 245 lb centre/forward for United in the NBL.

Base your criticism on some facts before you slag someone on a forum and you might sound like you know half of what you are posting.

Nice article once again LC, shame there are so many tall poppy critics out there!

Watched his highlights, doesn't look particularly refined in his post game but still made a few strong moves. And he didn't take any outside shots.

I imagine he would be a good fit on an NBL bench but not sure he would immediately be an impact player. Definitely potential there for an undersized hyper athlete.

The guy is 6' 7" or 6' 8" and about 230 pounds which is well over 100 Kg's, so I am tipping he would monster you guys without breaking a sweat.

Alas, If I only knew 10 years ago that at 6'1 I could play the 4 spot in any league, too.....

"if he can dunk he is big enough as a 4 man in almost any league"

Spud Webb will be heartbroken to know he should have played the 4 spot all those years.

Anon#034 you are so obviously a jealous individual who wouldn't know a basketball from a golf ball.

He has been excellent in a solid conference and if he can dunk he is big enough as a 4 man in almost any league.

Jawai monsters 99% of his opponents, you moron!

Venky would hold his own against almost any post player in the NBL today and to say he would get monstered by Kickert or Ogilvy goes a long way to proving just how stupid you really are.

Your comments about him being 'no game changer' are without any facts or intellect, just a throw away statement that belies his college statistics.

Good luck to the boy if he tries for the NBA or Euro League, who is to say he won't make it, weher you there when the Dellavedova bandwagon took off?

Welcome to the real world yourself you anon troll!

Kind regards, from another anon.

Outside Looking In

Jois has been ok in a very weak Big Sky conference, he is an undersized 4 with limited outside game.
He will get monstered in the NBL against the likes of Matt Knight, Ogilvy, Jaiwai, Kickertt, Majok etc..
Yes he might get some dunks with his elite athletics but he's no game changer.

No chance of NBA gig and will be limited in Europe.
Just look at his first half season at Eastern Washington.
He's not playing against kids anymore, welcome to the real world Jois.

He has signed with the Wildcats.

It must be true, because some random on the internet says so, and anybody wanting an official announcement is an idiot.

He is an interesting prospect. FT% is a little worrying.

I'm guessing he will be in Europe next season
