He's being guarded by Charlie McCarthy, a 6'2" guard. Given that we switch everything out on the perimeter, it's a pretty safe bet that KJ was playing out on the wing in our typical 4-out set. As he did routinely last season.

Can't lose something you never had.

Big minutes for him would be 15-20mpg. My hope is that he and Clemence can consume all 40 of the 5 spot minutes. Maybe Clemence is too far ahead of him. But Udeh can do things Clemence can't.

Might sound weird but I think the best comparison as shooter is brannen Greene. Lol. Brady is a better version of what Greene was recruited to be. A huge wing that just absolutely shoots the lights out

If Self says Svi then I'm going to go with Svi. Svi and GD do have similar physical/athletic attributes and can both really stroke off coming off of screens or on pops.

Dick is way more developed than Svi as a freshman, though.

And if he’s playing the 4, then where’s Jalen, who’s likely 35+ mpg this season

But Jalen’s been at the 5 some too. As recently as the natty game! (Lulz)

I guess my point is, a KJ/Jalen front court has the potential to run opponents out the gym. At least depending on matchups.

I’m also curious how switching on everybody thing might work. or, perhaps, if we’re not switching 1-4, maybe switch 2-5, maybe even have our small guard box-and-1-ing theirs.

But, whether going big or going small, let’s exploit whatever matchups we can! It still kinda blows my mind that we’ve had big guys who are paradoxically less, not more, effective against small opponents. But I guess that’s the direction the game has gone.

I guess my point is, is it late night yet?
