You can argue with either combo which was better or more valuable.  Ziggy and Burns are doing better from three but Malik and Nelson both averaged 13.5 a game and might have scored more but Cohill was more of the focus.

Saw Green play his 2nd game in the British league and he was dominant.  He had 26 points and looks like he took his game to another level except his love for jacking up 3s and he still below average. Malik averaged 30 points in the Luxembourg league prior to going to Sheffield England. Thought he could of been more dominant at YSU with his length and skill.

I feel like I would take AD over DJ, but not by much.  Felt like AD was stronger and could be more dominant inside.  DJ may be a little better ball handler and maybe a bit more athletic?  Both can shoot 3's.

Interesting to know on Green.  And I do agree that YSU might not have gotten the full potential on Green.  He was sneaky strong and really athletic and had good speed.

DJ and Ziggy remind me more of Naz and Covington.  It's a shame they didn't get to play together in their 5th year as Naz transferred and Covington got hurt anyways 3 games into the season. 

I think Ziggy is what Covington could have been in his 5th year if he didn't get hurt.  He obviously wasn't the same last year coming back from the ACL.

Here's a few ex Penguins playing over seas. Slocum and Calhoun era. Actually there has been a bunch that have played in the program over the years.  Some of these names you might remember or not.  A lot of them transferred from YSU.  Some only played one season of pro ball. I'm sure I missed a few.
Two no brainers are Kendrick Perry and Marcus Keene.

Ucf,
I don’t see Kendrick Perry being listed. He played in the World Cup for Macedonia last year. Is he still playing in Europe?

Bottom of first paragraph I had him in with Marcus Keene in the no-brainer category.  I'm sure I missed some though.

Looks like his pro career in Canada was one game unless the site is incomplete with their info.
