Serious question about Forwards...

[RichmondCuse]

Honest question. Say CJ had left for the NBA last year. Does anyone think we'd be better RIGHT NOW if Grant had been forced into the #1 option and Roberson had been forced into Grants minutes all season? Personally, I think with equal touches, Grant would out-produce CJ. The questions is, could Roberson have developed into someone that could match Grant's current production? No way to know, but I think an interesting question.

One thing I'm sure of - Fair should have never been our go-to guy. He is miscast, and he and Grant should have had opposite rolls all season.

You're reaching.

I'd hate to see where we would be without Fair. Not 10 games if you ask me.

No. C.J. struggled tonight but the kid has been a stud. We will miss his constancy. Next year will be interesting but we will be fine.

I don't know. One thing I feel strongly about is Fair and Grant should've switched roles this year.

Grant can't shoot. Period. No way can he score consistently like CJ has.

He shoots 48% this year compared to CJs 44%

I'm thinking he's talking about outside of 2 feet.

If you think we're struggling to score at forward this year, next year is going to be a travesty.

Grant scores or gets fouled on almost every play

 

[TheCusian]

He shoots 48% this year compared to CJs 44%

He has taken way less shots and gets rebounds and put backs primarily. He has room to operate because CJ is the primary and everyone knows he's getting the ball 80% of the time.

Maybe. I'm not convinced. Well see next year.

 

[Jasoncuse]

We'd be awful without CJ. Even with a terrible game tonight, we still need him playing.

Next year is going to be dreadful if we lose Grant/Ennis.

Short memory (Baylor, 1st Duke game, Minn, etc). Quite simply he is in a funk.
