Who the hell is going to score next year?
Cooney, Dajuan, Ennis, Gbinije, Mccullough and Roberson not to worried about it. Of course said the same about this year, but the difference is in maturity.
Ennis is ready to play this year and will score pretty well, by next year he makes a huge leap. Roberson I expect to make a Jump, and Mccullough I expect good minutes from early.
Cooney and Gbinije will be Jr's next years that technically are seniors or by age should have already graduated.
And Dajuan should be alittle better defensively and offensively. Rak is a senior as well.
And that is if Grant doesn't come back. I wouldn't sleep on patterson or BJ either they both can shoot off the dribble, and guys that shoot off the dribble can at the least spot up. Not saying thats a annointed final four caliber but its no slouch.
By all definitions thats 3 jrs in dajuan, cooney, gbinije, and a senior in Rak and a freshmen point who played huge minutes all year. And Grant could be coming back if he doesn't get up into the first round with his jumper.
imo two of our biggest problems next year right now are...
1.finding a perimeter forward between Mccullough, Roberson, BJ and Grant(if he comes back). Same thing we are looking for right now is it CJ, will he find a lateral quickness jumper further out like a Kobe,(he certianly isn't dribbling lower like a Kobe), or will he start getting the ball further inside successfully. Kaleb Joseph will be playing from day and doing some good things imo.
And
2. Ennis Gbinje and Cooney all are blow by guards but none are one on one isolation attackers or have shown signs they will be. I am doubtfull, but we might not even need one. Gbinije and Ennis are explosive. This is one place where kaleb joseph could be huge especially if he has a midrange pullup as a fresh.
