He was a big bruising PG. and IMO, the only other position Troy could really play was a really undersized 4 in a small lineup. He doesn't shoot well enough to be a 2 or 3. He can however guard bigger guys than him and also post up well for a PG. But reality is; he is a true PG. |

I think we have a quality starter and a quality backup which is nice. I feel the most comfortable this year of maybe all Cronin years using our backup.
Jenifer really has come a long way. He's really put the effort in and has listened to coach and has now been rewarded with a start and legit playing time. We don't need him to score but fortunately he can do that a little as well. His shot is much better and he takes care of the ball. He can run the break very well. Passing is very good. Obviously it would be nice if he were a few inches taller and could make them FT's...but outside of that...he can ball a little bit. I like watching him get after it on D and press too. He's not going to use his long arms to get deflections but he will get right up under you and make it difficult to put the ball on the floor. He's got no problem with facilitating and he takes smart shots. He's got good energy as well and he pumps himself up when he makes a good defensive play. I like it when players get excited about a good defensive play and not just making a big shot. he's a good kid and I like him more and more. |

I am excited that Mick got Cane Broome, and that he continues to develop Justin Jenifer into a fine backup and sometimes starter. The point guard position has been upgraded significantly. Troy Caupain had a nice career, but we will see this offense elevate itself through improved point guard play this year. |

Putting all that on his shoulders is probably ill informed. Troy got a lot out of a little. Most of his career he worked with guys who had little to no NBA potential. He didn't care or complain...he just did what he could. He made mediocre teams better in general with the possible exception of last year when we really had a very good team...but still no help with closing games until Cumberland came on in the end.

I agree we should be excited for the future. I didn't bring up Troy. Last edited by waterhead; 11-15-2017 at 11:27 AM. |

I know you didn't bring it up. Maybe I did, or maybe someone else did. Can't remember, but it has went on too long now, so we can all move on. |
