I wouldnt plan on Donnie

Don't worry. We won't plan on anybody on the current roster. That is what this sh!tshow is now...and I obviously don't mean just our team.

It’s good I didn’t say that then

So if Freeman does comeback, a monumental if, does Sadiq come off the bench since Freeman would likely start along with our million dollar center to be named later?

I wish I had that answer but I’m not certain… sadiq is coming here to start I know that

I wonder if they'd try to use Freeman like a wing / SF? So that he and White could play together [assuming Freeman doesn't leave in some capacity]?

My guess is that Freeman is gone like 95%. On the minuscule chance he returns, sure why not. Sadiq doesn't have the same game as Donnie who is more offensive minded. It'd be cool to have a 6'9" SF.

If that's the plan, I really hope the other 3 guys on the court are really good shooters. (and it probably is the plan if Donnie returns as I don't see Red benching one of them, and it appears Donnie isn't being asked to primarily play center since Red's reportedly looking for a $1m transfer center). A portal center who can shoot and do other things well like rebound and play defense will have a lot of competitive offers. PG too. It's critical that we retain Donnie for next year, but I'm afraid we're starting the year once again with a flawed roster unless we crush it at the other 3 positions and/or unless Donnie's 3-point shooting gets much better (which it very well might).

Donnie isn't Billy Owen's and Sadiq isn't DC,
but that would be a better combination then any we have had in years.
A good point guard, shooting guard, and small forward, with a solid bench and you have a winner.

You could play Freeman/White as the 4 & 5 otnas the 3 & 4 depending on the opposition. I like the idea of them as a 4 and 5, especially if you can sign a larger 3 who will be able to help on the boards. Plus we will have big guards.

CONSTANZA!!!!!

Or…plot twist, we start 3 guards / 2 forwards or Donnie is actually going to be our million dollar “center”!

 

[wiCuse]

I like Freeman at the 5 vs most teams if he stays next year. By all accounts, Sadiq doesn't shoot well. We cannot play Sadiq and Freeman together at the 3/4 and expect winning basketball.

 

[Giants1973]

Do people think Freeman will be here next yr?

It seems like playing them at 4/5 instead of 3/4 fits what I thought was Red's plan better, but it's been reported he's going after a $1m portal center, so I guess that's not the plan. Donnie is almost as big as Jesse. I like a lineup with them at 4/5 and then a really good 3 who can score at three levels including shooting 3s a really good clip. Spend big money on an elite PG who also shoots 3s really well, with JJ at the 2, and Kiyan/Moore off the bench. A big body defensive-minded center to play the 5 as well. Not going to a final four but I view that as our ceiling for reasonable expectations for a roster next year.
