No, it's not a myth. Basically less athletic players, who couldn't possibly keep up with way more athletic players, can defend a much smaller zone than the more athletic players around them. But, you can't populate the zone with four such players. The only time it is really beneficial is when that less athletic player is very skilled offensively, like Buddy.
It’d still be good have a decent backup 2 option for joe’s off nights, which I think is a role JM would fill
I think Judah would have to start. In order to get him, we may have to assure him that he would start. Assuming that would be alongside Joe. But, Symir could come in for either starter. It would be a great three man rotation at guard. Also, early in the season, we could test other guys at guard like Taylor, Copeland and Bunch. With a full roster, we would have better practices and more flexibility. We could press again...effectively, with length and athleticism. Even if it were for 5 minutes in each half with more of the young guys. All I know is, I am excited for next season. I know there will be many changes over the next few months, that is also exciting.
lol you think Mintz would come here to be a back up to Torrence or Girard?
Did we think Benny was coming here to be a back up to Jimmy or Swider?
point taken
PLAY THEM ALL.
Mintz, joe SY Cole jesse Benny frank and the five freshmen is a nice team
If he’s a backup, it would be nice if he could backup both spots and play starters minutes.
Its weird that in his social media he shows love to Cuse but all the recruiting experts are predicting Depaul. Wonder if it’s like Chance Westry where the kid likes Cuse but the camp wants somewhere else.
Every year we anoint some kid the chosen one and almost without fail recently they fall on their face and transfer out. Hopefully Mintz is that guy but I’ll take the wait and see approach.
Especially if we play inside out.
Would be great if Cole and Benny come back
No, I think he could play the 2 in place of Joe when he’s not playing well leaving plenty of minutes for symir
I hope he saw today’s game and recognized how dynamic, exciting, and passionate our team can be. And that he would instantly be a catalyst toward reclaiming our identity as a ‘showtime’ squad.
I’d love to see them play together, but for that to happen one of them has to develop a shot outside five feet. That’s the key to Jesse and/or Frank playing in the NBA too.
