Class of 2022 PG Zion Cruz (NJ / PatrickNJ) Offered

[dan7800]

I’d love Zion but with a senior JG3 and Dior, I can’t see he’d be happy with his PT.

JG3 will play the 5

Next question

 

[Trueblue25]

If Zion wants to come here we’d make the guard situation work

Or maybe JB plays 4D chess his last year and goes M2M while giving Dior, JG3 and Zion all 30+mpg ... I’d be into it

He’s certainly not shy lol

Well, with the proper commitment to S&C...

With his shooting ability, he'd be a tough matchup as a stretch 5.

Villanova sure seems to have success playing 3 and sometimes 4 guards together.

Offensively it’d be fine. Defensively even would work, unless we were still in the 2-3

 

[littlereg]

Just imagine JB going out with a title starting 3 guards and playing man HAHAH

 

[DilemaCuse]

I just have a hard time seeing JB make a major style change at the end of his career

Would love to see him adapt, though

The biggest FU of all time. It would be amazing

Need Dior or Cruz to shoot up to 6'4 or 6'5 I'd think if we are still 100% zone. Obviously not ideal but certainly possible with 2 years to go that one could grab mins on the wing if they get that tall. Would be sacrificing rebounding for offense which might not be the worst thing.

Who is it more of an FU to? All of us?

He would just be going back to how he started. We used to play man, trap, and press. We also used to push the ball up the floor, and score a lot.

JG3
Dior
Zion
Benny Williams
Frank Anslem

Bench:
Kadary
Woody
JBA
Edwards

don’t think we can pull off getting both Zion and Dior. But man that team would be insane

Feels like he's trolling at this point.

"If" Dior comes I would rather have a traditional 2 than another ball dominant guard. You need complimentary pieces to build a great team, and I'm not sure 2 ball dominant players do that.

I see your point, but these guys are literally going to be playing together the next 2 years at the highest level of high school ball. Their chemistry will already be determined before they get here. If they both want to come here, I'm going to assume that chemistry is solid to excellent. Having 2 guys that can take control of an offense (e.g. Westbrook/Harden) would be a no brainer. Imagine a team where Dior takes a breather, but we still have Zion out there or vice versa!

What is this "breather" to which you refer?

JB don't do breathers!

I can see it now JB plays man all season long, we lose maybe two games total and in the Post NC interview with Jim Nantz he drops a “this ones for you Townie!” And no one except Syrfan posters will know what tf he’s talking about.

You left chance off the team.

The proper verbiage is “Jimmy don’t breather”.
