Better hope the opposition can't hit open threes.

Why? The size of that lineup is ridiculous. You don't think they can play defense?

From the videos I've seen of White I don't think he has the speed and lateral quickness required to adequately cover at the top of the zone. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.

He's really long and he can't be much slower laterally than Cooney or G, and they were pretty good at the top. I agree he would be ideal on the backline, but as others have said it's probably only a max 10-15 minutes he plays the 2 each game.

Way less than 10-15 mpg.

You think Cooney and G were slow?

You think Cooney and G were slow?

They weren't the most quickest afoot laterally. Totally different than straight line speed.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

You think Cooney and G were slow?

Cooney could be very slow to react. Which always amazed me. How does a guy who makes his living shooting 3s not get out and guard the 3s well?

I know. I'll let it go now.

Very excited to see Frank's progression this year. Can't wait for him to bring back the alley oop to SU basketball.

According to Water's article today, White is down weight compared to last year and boxed to increase his agility.

I would be ecstatic if we didn't need Lydon to log zero minutes @ center, unfortunately, just can't envision Tyler getting zero minutes there...

 

[EastCoast2]

Boom. Love it.

 

[RF2044]

Boom. Love it.

How'd you love that start?

No way we should start every game without Gillon and Battle on the bench. PC wasn't great today but TT was solid, I'd start him over DC honestly. This is the kind of team where we "could" be 9 deep but could shrink big time.
