He's capable of scoring more but his opportunities aren't really there. He's very valuable as a garbage man ... jack of all trades. He's a shut-down defender and game-changing shot blocker. He can get huge rebounds. We look at more than offense here. You need elite scrappers to survive a West season. He's a tough kid, very well-liked and a great person.
Like I said, good #5 starter. Generally he is a mixed bag...competent rebounder and shot blocker, but struggles scoring, and suffers outside and at the free throw line.

He is your leading rebounder by a pretty large margin at 96 total on the season which is OK, but again, not exactly setting the world on fire (Actually the #249 rebounder in the nation). His 21 blocks tie him for #66 in the nation. Again, not bad but hardly elite.

But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining and for WLU that came in the form of Australian transfer James Griffin who took Humphries spot, spent two years at the Hilltop, garnered 49 starts and was a critical scoring piece along with Monteroso and Freshman Bolon. Much more impactful in his two years than Humphreies would have been during his first two years at WLU.Last edited by boatcapt; 01-18-2020, 11:53 AM.

When he backed out of his commitment, yea, I was mad! But as time went by and I took periodic looks at how he was playing at his two JUCO stops, that quickly faded and honnestly, I was a little relieved that he backed out of his commitment. I remember some idle speculation on this board on weather he would try and go to WLU after he finally realized he was not a D1 prospect. I was not in favor of that at all.

Different roles in different schemes. Both nice players in the right system.

They are different players. Griffin was more like a guard. When you needed him to bang against elite bigs in the NCAAs he got ate alive. Sleva literarily ate him for dinner.

Both players were/are good, not elite, complimentary players. Griffin was a good, not great, #3...Humphreies is a good, not great, #5. But only one was ever proposed to be anything more than that.
