Ok this was a long post tried to trim it down. With Ennis, Gbinije, Patterson, I am not worried one bit. We have alot of halfcourt scorers and our halfcourt transition offense is going to shine (atleast against a m2m).
Sophmore Grant and next years Cooney/ DC2/Rak will be much more proven offensively then freshmen dajuan,and this years rak and Cooney while Gbinije will be a nice fix for Triche. Just hope Fair comes back. Imo am much more worried about outside shooting then PG especially against a zone.
Gbinije
1.looked like a taller stronger version of Josh Pace at March madness who wants to go the rim and plays at a fast pace. Guys who play like that want to create plays or score.
2.Him and Mike were the two best hustlers in midnight madness that bodes well.
3. Has a much more noticable dribble then Grant, Fair, Southerlandand, nice change of direction.
4. Aggressive isolation scorers tend to be good ball handlers.
5. Hope he brings some Lebron looking Defense up top in the zone.
Ennis(freshmen).
I worry he could be like Scoops early years kind of like Siva 2 games ago. In terms of Perimeter points who don't dribble into the lane much one on one with alot of entry passes and Pics
1.He doesn't have much of a second gear, dribbling technique to break his man down, or physical body techniques yet. Patterson and Gbinije look like they do.
2. He is so smooth though, runs into space well, confident jumpshot from day one, finds unfindable passing lanes,can take over a game, change a scoreboard in notime.
3. bleeds orange as much as few of our players over the years. Very Excited to have him!
Patterson just check the video.
1. speed level/puts his body into his man while dribbling/uses his left hand/keeps the ball low with his long arms. He is going to have alot of scorers around him he won't need to score all game.
2. long arms defense is a strength ennis needs to work on his defense some.
