New Hope Christian made its home finale the kind of college basketball game that warms the cockles of Paul Westhead’s heart.

Senior Drew Wiley scored a school-record 57 points as the Deacons and Multnomah University Lions jacked up 102 three-pointers between them in a 144-103 NHCC victory at the Rexius Event Center on Saturday that was reminiscent of Westhead’s coaching days at Loyola Marymount a generation ago.

Wiley went 13-for-18 on threes and the Deacons, who go only six players deep, were 23-for-43 overall. The Lions let fly even more often (17-for-59) and were more effective inside the arc (17-for-30).

Wiley’s 12 rebounds were just third highest on his own team. Tarance Glynn finished with 34 points and 20 rebounds, and Forest Stolk had 20 and 18, respectively.

Harley Turner added 25 points as New Hope Christian got all but one point from its five starters. Erik Mendoza led the Lions with 27 points. Former Marist High standout Steven Bustrin added 16.

But he did make 92% of this free throws his last year of D-1 basketball. Still 57 points is 57 points and this guy could be worth a look for summer league. It's not like we have a lot of players returning at this moment.

Back it the day I went to a few summer league games and thought to myself that all of the players were great and should make the team. On top of that, it looked like some of the undrafted guys were better than the drafted guys were. What I didn't know was that anyone who is at a summer league game has talent and ability, the difference between them and the ones that get drafted is that the draftees have a 'complete game' or an 'elite talent'. Everyone else lunges at the basket hoping to impress the executives enough to get an invite without regard to the offence or the game plan.

I don't know this guy at all, so I can't judge, but chucking threes doesn't mean that he's a good player. He doesn't even show on DraftExpress's mock draft, so no wasting a pick, but if it works out we could have him come in for summer league, sure.

I wasn't saying draft the guy because he will be available as a free agent after the draft. I'm thinking the kid could be a summer league invitee and see how he does. He played in both the Pac 12 and Mountain West conference. He left Oregon after a coaching change and quite frankly was a reserve at Boise State. The Boise coach ran a couple of guys last year and probably wishes both were back when they hit the NCAA tournament this year. It was this guy and a forward that left and both had good years at lower levels.

With that logic I think we should also look at Griffin Lentsch and Jack Taylor.
 
Jack / Schroeder (draft) / Burks
Hayward / Burks / Korver
Williams / Carroll / Korver / Adonis Thomas (draft)
Kanter / Landry / Evans
Favors / Gobert (draft)

I was with you until I saw Korver. You mean the guy who admitted to placing personal stats ahead of the team's success. Who purposely passed up shots when Utah needed his offense. That Korver?
 
According to ESPN, Landry has a player option.

And as for Korver, he's been a starter in Atlanta. I'm not sure if he'd want to be 3rd string here.

I like the other choices though.
