I'm wondering what MR James has to say about this player since he keeps up with Ivy prospects.

For me, the best comparators for Much are Patrick Saunders, Chris Marquardt, maybe Will Barrett and Mack Darrow. Big wing who can shoot 3s and contribute something on interior defense (but not to the extent of a Brendan Connolly)
A digression from the original topic of the thread. Will be interesting to see what Johns can contribute to what will be a crowded backcourt.

I see more Hans Brase in him especially in the early years of Hans. Difference is that Much can fake the 3 pt shot and go to the basket plus Much is a much better passer. Hans was a better defender and especially rebounder as he had more bulk but Much is a freshmen. Darrow is also somewhat of an analogy. Much has far more upside in him based on skill set. The biggest attribute is that he knows how to play BB. He may not be a leaper or super quick but he simply knows how to play -- lost in the shuffle these days regarding HS ratings to some degree,
On a side note, it was not surprising to see Tigers come out and play tough hard nosed defense after last Saturday. Columbia picked a bad time to play them. Hopefully, they sustain the energy tonight.

They're all evolving and roles will contunue to emerge and change. Remember that his freshman year Steve Goodrich played forward with Hielscher in his senior year.
If a guy like Much can play the 3, 4 or 5 competently and provide versatility, it's all good.
