I believe you can learn more by playing, and not by sitting the bench.
When do the pros have time to practice--they are travelling 24/7. The NBA coaches are a bunch of glorified babysitters.
don't have time to practice? That's literally all they do. Their job is to play basketball. They can focus on that all day, everyday. Yeah they don't have as many official "practices", but they have the best coaches in the world working with them on each individual skill. (shooting, dribbling, etc...). If you don't think NBA coaches know basketball, I don't know what to tell you.
Also, compared to Bluiett, Evans is a better NBA prospect. It's a more athletic, open game, and Bluiett isn't a great athlete. That's why there hasn't been much interest.

Does that give any UC fans confidence or will next year be a complete rebuild, especially if Evans leaves? Those 3 really haven’t shown any low post moves or scoring ability. Are there any big time front court players we can sign this spring who could come in and start next year at either F or C position?

I think we’ll be fine at the guard position with Broome and Cumberland and Moore and Williams. What’s the scoop on Diarra? Is he hurt? In blowout games our walkons get playing time but Diarra doesn’t.

I think we will still be ok. If Evans leaves, probably a top 30 team, if he stays, probably a top 15 team. We will definitely have to change some things. Probably more dribble drive stuff.

Could be a few things:

Scott
Brooks

Scott
Nsoseme

Cumberland/Moore/Evans at "2-4"
Brooks

Cumberland/Moore/Evans at "2-4"
Nsoseme

Maybe Williams improves and has a say. Maybe Diarra. Maybe a grad transfer. Maybe something else.

I'd bet
Broome
Cumberland
Moore
Evans
Nsoseme

But does anyone know why Diarra isn’t seeing the court before our non scholarship players right now?

Coach Cronin stated after the game last night they are putting in for Diarra's redshirt. They can't play him if they want to get that approved by the NCAA.

They might be hoping to count this as a redshirt year for Diarra. But that's just my speculation. I have no idea what the rules are.
