a below the rim nelson

seems lousiville just signed a PF...so potentially good news here??

Just feels like a good player. Can handle the ball and shoot. Tall enough to give the team minutes at the 4 and 5. And he's an upstate guy. A perfect fit IMO.

 

[jordoo]

This is a kid that looks like he would earn minutes. He has size and it looks like he handles and shoots well enough to replace any front court player off the bench. I really like that he’s sort of the opposite of Davis. This kid would give the staff a lot of options.

Earn minutes? This kid started every game for a team that was better than us in a better conference. Unless he really wants to play here and is good with his 20ish minutes off the bench, he should be able to head elsewhere to continue starting. But he’s certainly being undersold with the potential to “earn minutes” for a program like us.

i think westry will be the starting PG ths year

Not at first he won't. Probably not at all.

 

[tptcuse]

Not at first he won't. Probably not at all.

So, is Cuffe our backup PG? Starling? Player to be named later?

This kid averaged 24 minutes a game last year. I think we can get him that here for sure. Some at the 5. How many minutes can Lampkin play? And some at the 4.

I don't know. I wouldn't bet against Westry and JJ and God knows who else getting minutes. Just that right now, Carlos is the starting pt guard.

Carlos won the lottery.

Lampkin is a 25 mpg player. Waterman could get 15 at center and 5-10 at pf. In Certain matchups he could play more than Lampkin.

In the Griff interview he said Carlos, Westry and JJ would play point.

I think Waterman can play the sf position for a few minutes in certain big lineups.

I hear you. Maybe a poor choice of words. I was trying to indicate that if he came here whatever his role was expected to be he would find his way onto the court quite a bit.

didn't you blast this very idea in another thread saying there wasn't open minutes to get a decent transfer for 4/5 backup

That was before I thought a guy this good would be available.

We need to find a way to get this dude because as self appointed arbiter of nicknaming I've got a top notch nickname ready to go.

Does it have anything to do with Kevin Costner?

no

 

[Orangezoo]

If this kid can handle the rock you find him minutes with a number of lineup combos. He epitomizes versatility.

A play on first or last name? — both have a lot of potential

Is it burger related?

 

[jdubs30]

if we did get Waterman and retain Lampkin, this wiill be our best front court In a long time.

I could see situations where the 3/4/5 is Davis/Donnie/Waterman. Lampkin, Waterman and McLeod all have different skill sets. That is a nice rotation If Red can figure out the subs.

I’d never thought I’d be complaining about the backcourt depth as opposed to the front court depth with Red. But I REALLY like the potential at the 4/5 spots if we get him.

 

[Scotch]

Does anyone know if we are seriously involved here?
