Came here to say that I think you guys are really going to like
Erik Pratt. Last season he struggled with some off the court
stuff, and then when he came back coach brought him in off the
bench and he was hot and cold from deep, so his numbers don't do
him justice. But if his mind and body are right, he's an
All-Conference caliber player. Two years ago Milwaukee struggled
to start the year, then Erik Pratt took over the PG
responsibilities and the team got hot and went on a run, almost
knocking off Oakland in the conference championship the year
they beat Kentucky. Good shooter, can guard the opposing teams
best player, capable ball handler and passer who sees the floor
well... Just a versatile guard who can open things up for his
teammates. Good kid too.

Appreciate this feedback! I don't know if you weighed in on the
Milwaukee board or not, but here's some feedback from there.
Between him, Brown and Simmon, I feel like we got some much
needed physicality, athleticism and perimeter defense in our
backcourt.
"I liked EP...he was a pretty streaky shooter but he could get
hot and carry games from 3 at times. The one thing that stood
out a bit negative was he had multiple Technicals last year and
in his tenure here. Now, we can debate if they were legit T's or
not but either way sometimes let his emotions get the best of
him. Will def have a rooting interest for Stony Brook now so
good luck this season!"
"The guy is either hot or cold. Mostly cold. Has a nice looking
shot. He can take it to the hoop. He sometimes forces the issue
to much, causing a turnover. Average on defense. Solid mid-major
player. I wish he was still a Panther, because he can be good.
He just gets to down on himself too fast if the first couple of
shots don't fall."
"He left the team a few games into this past season for
undisclosed reasons and returned several games later. Upon his
return, Coach Lundy praised his teammates for accepting him
back. To me, it sounded like the issue was whatever went on
between EP's ears and/or in his heart. Make your own
judgements."

long cold spells- particularly shooting- fits right into our
brand.

He also had a problem with technicals, drawing perhaps five.

All right, we've got Andrej Soskic from North Macedonia in the
fold. Maybe he's somebody who can spell O'Connor at PG?
My question is where he fits in when he doesn't have the ball. A
lot of P and R in this footage, and the ability just step into
shots. I don't suspect it'll be that easy. But he does seem to
have a desire to get downhill and has his head up looking to
create for others. 110 assists in 25 games, and that's in just
27 minutes a night, and that's against men (albeit well down the
food chain in North Macedonia).
Good addition around the edges and it's amazing how these guys
get found.
Initial post updated with current roster. With the last piece,
I'd go for some size next to Kojenets and Goods.

It appears that the roster's locked up for the 2025-26 season.
Tomas Valentiny, 6-7 wing from Slovakia, is a Seawolf (initial
post updated). On the surface, we'll see what he can do
offensively at this level, but he at least seems like he brings
energy, can get on the glass, and has some verticality to
contest shots at the rim.

He looks pretty good to me, although everyone looks good in
their highlight reel. Seems athletic and can get to the basket.

Just saw that the new roster was posted. Only 12 listed! What
happened to Kenny Fields?
