I think the interesting thing about all of this is that people will complain about anything. Mick has shown the ability during his time here to adapt his offensive style to fit the team he has. Since Mick has been here we have never had a team with the size and skill out of the 4 and 5 spots that this team has. They are young so I doubt the offense will look great at the start but I am happy to hear that the coaching staff is working to incorporate things into the offense that will take advantage of these players.

Would anyone like to try to predict any stats for this upcoming year? I got...
Caupain over 7 Rebounds + Assists per game KJ over 13 PPG Morman over 15 MPG Sanders over 50 3PT FGM and over 40% 3PTs Clark over 6 RPG Ellis over 10 Rebounds + Blocks per game Shaq under 4 RPG Guyn under 20 MPG DeBerry under 10 MPG Thoughts? Last edited by jacobkdoyle; 10-22-2014 at 04:26 PM. |

Caupain over 7 Rebounds + Assists per game I see 3 reb, 4 ast, so that's about right KJ over 13 PPG More likely under or right at 13 Morman over 15 MPG Agree, but not by much Sanders over 50 3PT FGM and over 40% 3PTs I don't see any way that he plays more minutes than last season. I'm going to go with similar numbers to last year, around 35 made and 37% Clark over 6 RPG I think Clark will put up similar points and rebounds to JJ last year, but not as many blocks... so definitely agree. Ellis over 10 Rebounds + Blocks per game I look for Ellis to put up about 10/7/2 in 25-ish minutes. Over 10 rebounds+blocks is a little optimistic IMO. Shaq under 4 RPG I'd like to think he'll improve enough to approach 4 RPG, but could be tough with Clark and Ellis crashing the boards. Guyn under 20 MPG Agree, but he will be close. DeBerry under 10 MPG Disagree, but he won't play more than 15. |

When anyone refers to a "New" offense, it implies that we actually had a previous offense. That certainly is not the case. Any use of the term "offense" is exciting in itself. To just be able to have a discussion about a potential offense is wonderful. But, I caution everyone to not fall into the usual trap we all fall into every year as Mick promises a pressing, run, and gun team. By midseason, the press is nowhere to be seen and we're walking the ball up the court and going into that annoying weave. I'll have to see some real offense before I believe it.
Granted, we have vastly different pieces to this puzzle this year. The roster has a very different feel to it than most of the ones Mick has been running out there in the past. A lot of his past players took 3-4 years to make an impact. Last year we actually had some impact freshmen. This year's newcomers have arrived with a feeling of more potential than what we've seen in the past. I'm hopeful that Mick is capable of actually coaching these guys up offensively in the same way that he does so magnificantly with his approach to defense. |

I think it's a bit mature to say that this team has the size and skill that no other team before under Mick has had. Yancy was pretty damn big and pretty damn skillful for a big and the offense wasn't great with him either. Then when he left everyone said it would open up the lanes, but guess what, the offense wasn't great after that either. I'm hopefully on the young guys but they are unproven, just as Jermaine Lawrence was unproven. Personally I think the 4 and 5 spots are going to be their biggest weakness this year so I don't see how it's going to help the offense. My point isn't to knock Mick. I love him, but I don't love the way his offense has performed and think it's a legitimate concern for this year as well considering one of UC's best scorers in history is gone. |
