howsabout some love for Garrett.

we're now a big imposing frontcourt that should dominate the paint but we could still use some shooting.

Yeah if we can just get one shooter you would think we would be a clear cut NC contender. We have everything else. Speed. Defense. Ball handling. Good front court. Dotson needs to spend all summer learning how to throw lobs πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I don't get the impression that Hampton is a huge shooter (but I'm not too knowledgable). It seems like all the shooters we talked about (Rayjon Tucker and Holyfield) went elsewhere.

Any shooters still out there?

yeah, I think we're gonna see the return of dominating big man ball, perhaps out of necessity.

yeah, even one good shooter makes us a whole different team. I think we'll end up with at least one.

brb let's bump the lineup thread!

Dotson
Hampton/Grimes
Agbaji
De Sousa
Dok

McBride
Garrett/Braun
Enaruna/Jalen Wilson
Lightfoot
McCormack
That team is loaded (but Agbaji needs to be getting 500 shots up a day this summer).

I totally forgot about Agbaji. He’s probably got the best chance of all the guys to become at least a decent shooter.

Agbaji shot 41% from 3 in his first 11 games, he shot 21% in his last 11 games.

I hope the first half of his freshman season is more representative of the player he really is.

Dotson shot 36% last season on 2.5 attempts per game. I'd be happy if his percentage stayed the same, but he increased his volume to something like 3.5 attempts. That'd be enough to force teams to respect him.

Yeah so maybe we got a couple of guys who could at least be respectable next year.

As of right now, shooting seems to be our only weak spot.

Any real shooters we're recruiting right now? Do hampton / Wilson qualify?

Obviously we've won as much as we could win at this point, but I think the obvious rebuke to the NCAA can be reasonably interpreted to say he's already sat more than he should have. We should have had him by conference play last year, at the latest.

Yeah... But that's maybe the worst thing to be bad at in today's game.

And if we had, we likely woulda kept the streak going...sigh

Dotson, RJ, Ochai, and Garrett will get almost all the backcourt minutes.

Dok and SDS will play a ton. Will be interesting to see if we can have mostly a 3-man rotation up front with Mitch getting spot minutes. In other words, what happens when Silvio is out? I don't think Mitch gets all those minutes.

This is awesome.

Dotson, Ochai, Grimes/Hampton, McBride, (if we get) Wilson, and Braun should all be good to fair shooters.
