Something to look out for with a tough schedule and a full roster. It could be very difficult to get the younger guys significant minutes in the OOC. This would not bode well for guys like Saunders, Madsens, Lakhin, maybe even Eason. I would like to see some extended action from a few of them early on but in close games you have to go with guys you can trust out there.
I also would think Davenport will find it hard to get on the court. One thing is for sure...there is going to be a lot of tough competition in practice. I like having a full roster for many reasons and that is one of them. The others are that you can still field a decent team through injury and if 1 or 2 decide to transfer out...you aren't decimated. Really like what Brannen is doing and has done! |

Lakhin seems like the best bet followed by Saunders if DD is eligible. |

I really hope Davenport works on his ball skills and 3 ball because he's not gonna see much time at the 4 and with his size and length could be a real asset at the 3 at some point. Maybe not this year but certainly after. If he wants to go pro someday (anywhere) he doesn't have much value as a 4 IMO. Right now he's not a good shooter and doesn't have a back to basket game and really doesn't look like a capable slasher with the ball in his hands at this point.
That's a tough challenge for him...but he seems like the type of guy who will put the work in to see if he can make it happen. He's a good energy guy and we can maybe use him for defense and hustle rebounds but he's got limited value on offense so in a CJB game plan he will also be limited without developing a crucial skill. Easiest thing would be to work on that 3 ball and be a knock down shooter. Ball skills take more time. 3 and D would work well for him. |

I'm still thinking DeJulius won't be playing, sadly. If Keith Williams returns I could see Mason red shirting before Saunders.
I don't know. Mason actually had better stats in high school, but that might mean nothing now. Size is a notable difference. Brannen has spoken so glowingly about Saunders speed, pass-first style, and potential to penetrate. Who has the best scoring potential? I'm not sure at this point. PG: Adams-Woods, Saunders, MMadsen SG: Harvey, Williams, GMadsen SF: Williams, Davenport, GMadsen PF: Ivanauskas/Diarra, Eason C: Vogt, Diarra, Lakhin Losing Cumberland(s) and Scott, we're going to need a whole lot of offense. I actually see Davenport playing more at the three, although people here keep on talking about him as a four. He's maybe 6'5"-6'6" IRL. I'm guessing he'd be there for some small ball, but he has the speed to cover wings and guards. He just needed to learn how to play college defense better. I'm guessing we'll see a jump. |

DDJ? You realize DeJoulius is one word, right?
I think the waivers are pretty inconsistent, but it's inevitable that eventually they'll be allowed without question. Really surprised the committee recommended not enacting the change right now. Still could happen. I was very surprised Vogt got his. We sure needed him last season. |
