Not to get too far ahead of myself but next year's team is going to be a major wildcard. Need to see what kind of players Toyambi and Davenport can be. |

We haven't had this much length and size on wing since Huggins days. This is something that has killed us over years. Rashad bishop and Shaq are only two true SF in Cronin era. This year we have 3 on this year team alone, Prince, hardnett, Davenport. I don't consider Keith to be true SF. We can have all 6'5 or better players on court if we wanted.

I also don't see it for McNeal. Moore is at least said to be a great practice shooter. McNeal is a poor 3-point shooter and so far nothing about him shooting well in practices either. MAW looks like a much better 3 point shooter then McNeal. I agree with the starting 5, but after that I disagree completely. I think we go 8/9 deep. Moore and whoever plays best out of Davenport/Hardnett/Prince will be the 6th and 7th man. McNeal will get 5-10 minutes per game as the PG and maybe spot minutes at other positions. Sorolla gets 5-10 minutes per game as center (maybe 15-20 against teams with a true big) but may not even play in some games. Prince/Hardnett/Davenport could combine for 30/40 minutes per game as they backup at Center, PF and SF (if Davenport is behind the other two he may redshirt). |

I think we now have a better roster than what we were potentially going to enter the season with. Now the question is can they adapt to the new system fast enough. If they click quickly we could have an extremely fun team to watch. Either way all the recruiting activity has been fun and the Cumberland signing was a great cap to the 2019 roster.

I don't know you need somebody to run the point. I think macneal could get a lot more time than everyone's thinking.

Well well well, thanks goodness we picked up Cumberland #2. Might of just saved the season. Now we have a fighters chance to get this new era off to a good start. Let's hope Kieth and Tre have a power off-season and we should be back in business

If you start Jarron, Jaevin, Williams, Scott and Diarra, there are a lot of ball handlers on the floor. Scott's handle improved throughout last season and should continue to get better. Jarron, Jaevin and even Williams can share duties bring the ball up the court, then let Jarron initiate the offense - which he did a lot last year anyway. |

Jarron, Jaevin and Williams are three players competing for two spots on the roster. If Brannen plans an up-tempo and running style of play, those three guys can substitute for each other and stay fresh all game long. Perhaps that is the plan for them.

I'd argue JC ran point in most of the critical situations last year. I don't see this year being any different. Jarron, Trevon, and KW are your shoe-ins to start. The other two positions are up in the air.
