Still expecting Chuckwu to not have it?I do think that go dancing next March. By then i predict this will be our starting lineup.
1: thorpe
2: battle
3: euro
4: TT
5: Sid
Edit at will.
Why would anyone expect him "to have it" based upon past performance?Still expecting Chuckwu to not have it?
Brissett is 3rd in line after battle Thompson anyway you try to say it!Howard,Battle,Moyer,Thompson & Sidbe
This lineup doesn't score 60 PPG.Howard,Battle,Moyer,Thompson & Sidbe
I wonder if Frank or Washington has the better jumpshot seems to be Washington. So Washington Battle Oshae Matt and ThompsonThis lineup doesn't score 60 PPG.
No spacing on the floor to penetrate and no shooting beyond Battle.
I guess you forgot that Thompson was our best shooter last year.This lineup doesn't score 60 PPG.

Thompson wasn't close to the defenses attention. You get that when you are the defense fourth assignment you are going to get a lot easier shots right? You actually get this stuff right?I guess you forgot that Thompson was our best shooter last year.
I would expect he would improve his defense enough to spend more time on the floor.
Excuse me for ruining your day!Thompson wasn't close to the defenses attention. You get that when you are the defense fourth assignment you are going to get a lot easier shots right? You actually get this stuff right?
Lydon, White, Gillon, Battle were the top options last year.
Next year defenses are going to key on Battle and Thompson.
He also took way too many long 2s.
You say you expect his defense to improve and cite nothing but opinion to support your statement. Why is Thompson's D going to improve?
I guess you forgot to include your support.
LolExcuse me for ruining your day!
If you want to post to me, keep it decent or don't bother. I get this stuff and don't talk down to me kid.
You don't know anymore than I do that Thompson will be less than last year. I don't see any support for your statements either.
I gave my opinion. I'm sorry if it conflicted with yours.
This is how you give support to an opinion. I agree I hope he gets better but I am not giving it a foregone conclusion. Defense takes effort you have to give a lot of energy and effort to excel on D. Hopefully Thompson makes a leap from Freshman to Sophomore as defensive ability for him has to improve if he wants to make the NBA.Thompson will be better on defense . . . . Since it would take a huge effort to be worse.

I'll go with Thorpe, Battle, OB, MM, TT. Marek first off the bench. It could easily be Marek at the 3, OB at the 4, and Moyer first off the bench. Or MM at the 4, and OB first off the bench. Depends who develops at the 3.
If we get Thorpe, then I think those are the three most likely scenarios. His shooting will help spread the floor, so we will have multiple options. Sign him up already. I don't know if I mentioned that I love his game. Can't remember.
The frontcourt will work itself out. I don't see much TT at the 4. TT/PC/BS man the middle.
Frank will be the 1st guard off the bench at that point. Then we have our 7.5, depending on who wins out between PC, and Sidibe. Love Washington, and think he can contribute too. So we will call it 8.
If we get Thorpe, I don't see Washington playing at all. Guard rotation will be set with the 3 we have. Battle is playing minimum 35 mpg and the other 45 minutes split between Thorpe and Howard.
Why hasn't Thorpe been on campus yet for a visit if JB is less then thrilled with the grad transfer? Seems the sooner he can start learning the system the better off the team will be.
