I've seen some people talking about the height and three-point shooting percentage of Sahvir Wheeler.

CONCLUSION:
If you have the opportunity to add a player like Sahvir Wheeler to your roster, you absolutely take advantage of that opportunity. The kid is a gamer, knows the game inside and out, and would be in a completely different situation at Kansas. He's great at getting teammates involved and doesn't back down from contact when driving to the basket. Obviously, the coaching staff sees something in Wheeler and, with very few options left remaining on the table, he would be an amazing addition to the roster this late in the process.
