Class of 2023 PF Jerry Deng (NY / GA) Portal to NC State

Who told you we didn't like Deng? Not me. I think there is a good chance he ends up Orange. Unless someone comes in and offers crazy dough and a sure starting spot. You know, like Vegas just did.
You said you don’t expect us to be going after him. Was just responding to what you said as I read that as us not having enough interest. If that’s not the case, then I hope they push hard for him. Would be a great fit.

Not what I meant. I guess I wasn't clear. I would say I would be somewhat surprised if we don't get him but I am pretty surprised right now about Stephen.
 
This guy just looks like a bigger version of Bell. He can knock it down from deep but does nothing else. If we want this guy to be a Vinnie "Microwave"Johnson for us off the bench then sure but otherwise we should spend elsewhere. Spend on another athletic rim protector center and let's have 10 fouls worth of that ability every game. We have guys who can score and pass. Add more rebounds, blocks, altered shots and dunk put backs.
We need a 5 and a 4/5. Also another wing who can shoot and drive woul be great. I think we need 10 guys plus Womack Ata minimum. Unless Womack can be a Moten type he probably could use a year.
 
Vegas is after Deng too.
Who is their coach after Hodgson spurned them? They got left at the altar by him; you’d think they wouldn’t have NIL funds to compete with us.

Hopefully being from Rochester will help.
 
Kingz is more guard than forward IMO. Same with Kiyan.

We currently have just 2 pure forwards. We need at least 1 more kid with some ability to be a 3/4 or 4/5. We need some size. We don’t even know if Sadiq is ready to play at this level so not sure why we wouldn’t be interested in a kid like Deng. I understand why he might not be interested but his size and skills are exactly what we need.
I’d say that Womack is a pure forward. Not sure why you don’t. I’m not saying that he should play a major role, but he’s definitely a forward.

Man he would be awesome off the bench if he’s willing.
 
I don't think anyone is saying Sadiq would start over him, neither would be starting. PG- George, SG- Starling, SF- Kingz, PF- Freeman, C- Kyle/portal big. There is no world in which Freeman is the starting center for next year.

I say let them sort it out. I'm not sure that Kingz is a starting SF. Deng and Donnie as our starting forwards would be pretty dynamite.

Deng would be a stretch 4.

I’ll say it.

he would be awesome as a starter too

im not a huge fan of the idea of freeman at center...buuut he would be a nightmare matchup on offense for most centers...i dont think many centers could stop him from scoring
 
That is not the plan. I think Freeman will see run at the five for spurts, but no way he starts.

That's the way we have to look at the roster. Nobody is playing 40 minutes at one position. There will be different groups on the floor for different situations.
 
Big things that stand out-

-Good size
-High release point and good form
-Gets his feet set really quickly and needs limited time to get his shot off
- Definitely potential to improve at his size but is a prototypical stretch 4.

I don’t think it’s the plan either, but White is the most talented player on the team. There’s a reality he comes out firing when camp breaks it’s the best way to get him in

I think if White is so good he forces his way into the starting lineup then Freeman and White are the forwards and Kingz comes off the bench.
