anyone know anything about him? lacrosse player who wants to play basketball next year?
He sounds like a great athlete and we have spots to fill. He is deferring a professional lacrosse career to do this. Better then an empty seat at this point.
This is a really interesting story. I think ANYTHING he gives us is gravy. I also think anyone who says they know what to expect would be lying. Going to be fun to see how this plays out.
What position does he play? I'm assuming PG or SG based on a listed height of 6'3
Jim Brown was a good lacrosse player. Wonder if he can hoop and has some interest?He's perfect for this board.
There's no video of him playing basketball, just a bunch of anecdotal reporting.
We'll have him in the NBA Hall of Fame by July 4th.
Rest of stat line was impressive as well. Is he going to be a walk on or is he a scholarship player? Likely he would have had an opportunity out of HS but if he was a scholarship lacrosse player, they might have frowned on him even getting very involved in pickup games. Even if they allowed it, different level of competition. Physically he will have advanced but his game is likely behind his HS gamehttps://www.uslaxmagazine.com/college/men/pat-spencer-to-play-college-basketball-at-northwestern
Averaged 14 points as a senior in high school.......

But is he a good fit? Oh wait, that's belongs on the football board, sorry.I've heard he's a hybrid of Magic Johnson and Allen Iverson but a better passer and shooter than both.

Thanks for the update, but what is semi competitive? And does this mean, you think or know that he will be on scholarship?He's continued playing semi-competitive basketball during lacrosse seasons since high school.
This is a "why not?" take of one of the better handful of lacrosse players in the nation that has some clear athleticism. Otherwise the scholarship is just open.

ThanksFrom a more general basketball-themed article on that same site: "For the past four years, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Spencer has played in the Annapolis Summer Basketball League. After earning All-Metro honors at Boys’ Latin in 2015, he went on to win the summer league’s Most Valuable Player award in 2017."

Don't know for sure, but would imagine he'll be on scholarship.
Except he was drafted #7 and not #1 despite winning player of year which suggests to me that he’s not a freak athlete for Lax. But that between the legs dunk was eye-opening! Maybe he’ll bring a winning attitude and toughness to the team as well.
Likely a scholarship guy. Doubt he'd want to pay for his grad degree.Thanks for the update, but what is semi competitive? And does this mean, you think or know that he will be on scholarship?
I’d think if he’s passing up being the number one player drafted in major league lacrosse he’d expect to be more than just a practice body.He can probably be physical in practice and we will need bodies to toughen up our young players. He will not get many minutes but should fill the Hall/ Malnati role which is important.
Lacrosse is a physical game
I was being a bit sarcastic with the Zion comparison. He was the first overall pick for the PLL though. I think mindset can't be over looked. A young team would really benefit from bringing in a proven winner.Except he was drafted #7 and not #1 despite winning player of year which suggests to me that he’s not a freak athlete for Lax.

I wonder if he will slum it and play with our club LAX team. Would have been great to have him two sport it had we had a men's LAX program.
I’m sure he had tryouts! My guess is he starts for us!anyone know anything about him? lacrosse player who wants to play basketball next year?
Also wouldn’t be possible for him to compete at a varsity level in lacrosse because he’s already used his eligibility.
He could play club lacrosse though. There is no eligibility restriction I don't think.
