Source: JlMintzI’ve lost track of who everyone is here on the board.
Is this hope, opinion, or ‘sourced info?’
4 of the 5 starting positions would appear to be set in stone. Lampkin, Freeman, Bell and JJ. The last position is really the open question. Do we start Carlos to get a pure pg on the floor or does Red go another direction with someone like Taylor and let JJ handle the ball to start the game?
are we sure freeman is a game 1 lock to start over senior jyare who could average 10 and 5
Offense will be this team’s strength. The defense won’t be great but it doesn’t need to be. It just needs be better than recent years, especially that Buddy, Jimmy, Cole Swider team, which was awful. This team has more athleticism, quickness, experience and depth so we should be able to defend better. JJ is really fast and athletic and has a large wingspan so he should be a good defender. I don’t know why he was so weak last season. I hope he’s been working on his defense in the offseason.It's bad news all around. I can't imagine Carlos and JJ defensively will be beyond dreadful but probably better on offense than the alternative.
I hope the defense is better, I just don't see it.
I'm hoping we take advantage of the depth and athleticism to press a little.Offense will be this team’s strength. The defense won’t be great but it doesn’t need to be.

Pasqualoni once explained why a really highly recruited kid with great measurables wasn't playing many snaps.Offense will be this team’s strength.

All I’m saying is Jyare will be a good ACC player, has lots of experience and that Donnie might not be super impactful from Day 1, especially after a shorter summer. He will have a good year and show lots of flashesIf we lost Maliq to Duke so Jyare could start and Donnie could be a bench guy we should fire the whole staff.
Freeman's "shorter summer" came because he was playing for his national team in the Olympics.All I’m saying is Jyare will be a good ACC player, has lots of experience and that Donnie might not be super impactful from Day 1, especially after a shorter summer.

I don't think that experience slowed his development. I wish he had played more, but just being around those guys and practicing with them will really accelerate his growth curve.
