Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 5200979, member: 6979"] i'm fascinated to see how this plays out too...i think it can go in wildly different directions...there are so many variables and question marks...i generally am super optimisitic this time of year..and this year is no different. last year, i thought the roster was great and the team would have so much depth...but injuries and player deficiencies were crippling...hopefully, my eternal optimism is actually well-founded this season...esp in terms of depth bc I truly think there will be a deep roster of actual contributors this time around for red. i think thats what he wanted in his first year and what he was going for this portal season in making his second roster. in general, I like how you've framed things but I see it a bit differently, in several ways. 1- i very much think they are going to be up tempo and transition oriented...and the big reason to get lampkin will be to be able to play inside out and pass...all the players picked up are capable passers...ball movement and drive and kick with g0od 3 point shooting will be the plan, imo 2. petar will be big, imo...regardless...I highly doubt hes just going to sit all year,,,but we'll see. i bet he plays 3 - acc media day was starling and bell...yeah the frontcourt looks solid...but I expect a balanced team with good frontcourt and backcourt...i expect bell and starling to be leading scorers...(but with a very balanced and deep team)...in fact, one of the biggest obstacles I foresee for red is too many mouths to feed and how to keep everyone happy if there are too many "good" players on the roster...usually these things sort themselves out, but we'll see. with a veteran team, you have to think these guys will be hungry to make their mark and could possibly be dicey if some players dont get what they think they should. yeah they spent on lampkin over brown...bc brown has no post game and that severely limited the offense...which was the right call, imo no mcleod cannot play at all on the perimeter...which leaves the spot the biggest question mark, imo...bc lampkin aint playing 40min/game...which is why I think petar is playing a role this season.
