-Isaiah Austin is weak sauce. Jefferson is a beast.

-Our point guard has a heart rate of 45 bpm after running suicides.

-Lets just start Grant already. No more of this pseudostarting lineup and the real lineup... Get him in there...sit DC on the bench..Rak can start in the middle. Ive given up on Rak as far as a non garbage scoring force..but he can play defense and rebound enough.

grant played 30 minutes...that is ten minutes to few.
 
Baye also is a question mark although he did have a nice dunk last night. DC doesn't seem like a head case but he does have a problem getting the ball to go into the hoop from within four feet of the basket. I'm not 6'8" 280 lbs so I can't offer an opinion but you would think he would have much more success just trying to dunk the ball instead of getting fancy. We know he brings the ball way too low but he keeps doing it.

I want to start calling Ennis "Ice", like ice water in his veins. What a great game by him again...just a a super tournament. And yes, Jerami should starts, but probably won't until next year. He's this years KJ...

Great effort but the Orange all week!

If he hears multiple lotto predictions, he is good as gone.

Hes not a lotto pick. We have nothing to worry about

He may not be lotto, but with that spin move and the jumper he showed in last game and hak like elevation, IMO he's top twenty. Who passes on that? I hope Grant does...

Marcus smart passed on it.

He needs to get stronger. There is not one negative in staying. None

I disagree. He will be a projected lottery pick come this Spring. He should make the jump. The only knock against him is an inconsistent jump shot. And, as MCW has shown, jump shots can be improved after being drafted. I agree that we have nothing to worry about, we have Roberson and McCullough to fill the potential void.
 
Grant is not ready now. By the end of the year...likely different story. And since when do players stay till they are 100 percent ready.

The one negative is you don' t get paid...that is usually all it takes, wealthy parents or not. Smart was freshman, Grant is a soph...he already has stayed.

Why bench DC2? Is it that slow start nonsense, because that hasn't been happening. What about DC2'development?

Why ditch the pseudostarting lineup? Are there too many losses at the expense of attempting to develop the missing component of a post game?
 
whoa whoa whoa...easy there. i dont mean staple him to the bench. I mean he should come off the bench. why? because it makes more sense to have your best players play as many minutes as possible. He can develop just fine in a reserve role.
 
Boy if Grant stays and continues his current trajectory, first team AA is not out of the question next year. At this point I just assume every player that is any good is leaving until it doesn't happen.
