Roster & Needs As Of April 14...

[AncientOwl]

How can our answer at point guard be a guy who averaged 8 and 4 at McNeese last year? Nait George averaged 11 and 5 against better competition (albeit with worse defense). Dual is a good bench piece, but we need more firepower at that position in the starting lineup.

Nate George was horrible. He had the most empty stats I have seen. In theory Dual will run the offense without turning it over. He will also play elite on ball defense on point guards which will improve the entire team defense. I think Dual is really coming in with a chip on his shoulder. He was a top 50 recruit who didn’t find the early success he most likely expected.

 

[Niastri]

He was really good at Iowa, do not know what happened at Creighton.

We talked about it at length in his recruiting thread.

Who are they running the offense for? Doty? Sadiq White? The Temple guy? The team needs more firepower.

I like Dual as a player, especially on defense. On a good team at the top level, he is coming off the bench. If he's starting, we will be on the bubble at best. I don't think we will end up like the 7-25 Seton Hall team he started on, but the offense will struggle.

imo, tobiason and 3m will be our 2 leading scorers and both will do very well.

We need a lead guard and big better than what we have.

I’m not worried at all about the other spots.

Center I can even see us duct taping together with who we have and Sadiq in small ball (I don’t want that, but can see it).

But we have some work to do after starting out really well here. Think GMac will get it done, but can’t say I’m not worried.

We I expect get 75 pct of the way there and I think that’s more than enough. Worry is fair but we built most of the roster, have money and now get to finish strong to add 2-4 more vs trying to add 8 or 9.

I’ll eat crow if im wrong but the highly touted big gets from BH are going to flop when how bad their big man and bench situation plays out.

 

[Sherman20]

I’m cautiously hoping that 3M is going to have an instant impact. I know Givony is high on him. But do you feel the same from watching highlights of him and looking at stats?

i do, very much so. imo, he's a rare talent that can not only hit the open 3 but also create his own spacing with his moves and handle for a clean look.

White and Sibi at opposite ends of the press, with Dual, Tobiason and Doty in the middle could be really disruptive a few minutes a half.

One thing White does really well is harass the inbound pass.

I don't like him so much even as a small ball center. He's slight of build for a power forward, imo.

I think he is better than George. I’m good with him starting there being pass first and defense first guy.
