Marek will NOT play in Italy (and other observations from Rothstein)

[NineOneSeven]

Lol

If this is the starting 5, we will have some major fire power off the bench. Girard, QG, Braswell, Edwards, Goodine all off the bench!? My goodness... I can already see the Braswell is getting Boeheimed and QG is going to transfer or go pro early because of PT posts. Can't wait.

My prediction, not that I know anything about anything. Dolezaj or Sidibe comes of the bench and QG slides into the starting lineup at the 4. I don't see JB trusting Sidibe to start the 5 all year and centers historically don't do great as freshmen because they struggle to backstop the zone.

But what is their BODY LANGUAGE like?

 

[OrangeDW]

On the positive side - Boeheim said that everybody will play in every game during this. So while players will develop chemistry and some things can become more clear as far as roles go - if everybody is playing, it’s not like you’re playing any of these like a real game and going with your best 7. You’re not really nailing roles down if everybody is playing.

If there’s one player who individually could afford to miss these games, I’d say it’s Marek. His absence opens up even more PT for QG, Edwards, Braswell, and JBA in these games and we will need at least two of those guys to contribute this season IMO.

QG is gonna play a lot...lol

QG is gonna play a lot...lol

He’ll start at the 4.

No comments on our players height. Disappointing

 

[HOFCeluck]

It would be the epitome of brutality if he’s off the mark on those observations.

 

[Cheriehoop]

I rather have him gain 20 lbs then play in italy

Eating in Italy alone should be good for 5 lbs.

 

[bnoro]

If Rothstein didn't have positive overreactions to watching a single practice, I'd be very concerned.

 

[two3zone]

I hear this every year.

 

[pfister1]

Sid will start and pick up a quick foul or two.

Marek slides over to the 5, and QG plays a lot.

Every game?...... oy vey!

 

[NineOneSeven]

When are these italy games? Don't think it's an issue if he isn't there.

 

[MG44]

I like that he thinks Sid will start...i assume he must moving well (at least for now)

 

[CuseCrew08]

I hope I am wrong, but I am starting to get the feeling Marek never reaches his potential here. He looked like the best "basketball player" on the court at times as a frosh, but didn't seem to improve much of any last year. Now he has another setback with his finger.

Hope he figures it out, but I am starting to lose hope a little...

 

[Alsacs]

Does he still smoke cigarettes is all I care about?

Dolezaj hurt his finger, we can assume this is a matchbook-related injury?

We can't rule it out...

I don't think so. Remember it is still Europe. I was in Rome in 2012 and had to order two entrees at every restaurant to even make up 75% of the portion size I'm used to in Texas. And I'm only 66% the size of these dudes.

 

[Orangello]

and does he prefer Borovicka or Tatratea with his smokes.

I'm not sure about the current recruits, but I hear Jerami Grant is up to 8'6.

 

[Newhouser]

Marek is going to be the least of our problems. Guys who do the grunt stuff - defend and facilitate always mesh easily. I also think he improved quite a bit last year - seemed more confident on his jumper, excellent passer. I also know I'm in the minority but staying on campus hasn't proven that you will bulk up, etc. As for his potential - he's never going to reach it playing the 5 which he again will be doing this year IMHO.

Actually, this is not true. Portion sizes are much more reasonable over there.

In addition, everything is fresh. None of the processed garbage that is in seemingly everything we eat over here.

You don't really see a lot of obese Italians...
