Whose team is it next year?

[OrlandoCuse]

I think we all agree that G emerged as the leader this year.

Who takes the lead next year as the go to player. Is it Mal or Lydon? Or does Kid Mamba step up to lead as a frosh?

 

[scottynguyen]

Malachi's team imo.

 

[orangehomer]

malachi, but lydon might be better

 

[PauliePeppas]

Should be Lydons, will be Malis bc hes more vocal. Both will be all conference players

 

[2-3zone]

Tyus Battle

We will have the ball in is hands most of the time

 

[JayCuse]

Kaleb Joseph for sure

 

[Newhouser]

Lydon. Our best player.

 

[Ghost]

JBs!

 

[Vorony]

Coleman and Roberson are the seniors next year. I don't think anyone expects Roberson to step up and be a leader, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Coleman yet. Hometown guy, been in the system for 5 years... one would hope that he'd take ownership of the team, or the team would rally around him like with Rak last year. But maybe he isn't that guy?

EDIT: Definitely not saying that Coleman would be the go-to guy, but more of the vocal leader of the team.

I would love for this to happen, along with a jump that surprises a lot of folks. I'm not making that prediction, but I can hope. I'm not sure how many folks called Rak's on here or in real life called Rak's senior leap. Otherwise, I just hope it's organic.

It should be Roberson's, but he needs to step up if he is going to be a leader.

 

[NKR1978]

Mal and Lydon. It's their time.

 

[DirtDog44]

This will definitely be Malachi's team next year.
Next year I'm thinking the following: Richardson 17ppg, Lydon 16ppg, Battle 12ppg, Roberson 11ppg, Chukwu/Coleman combined 16ppg, Howard 4ppg. That puts us at 76 points per contest which I think is very realistic for this crew.

 

[OttoMets]

Richardson's. And I think it was his team to some extent this season, too.

 

[Cusefan0307]

It's easier for Lydon to make shots more than anyone on the team. I hope the offense is designed around him. Mal is just a better version of Trevor IMO. If we rely on him we are going to see a lolt of 6-16's IMO. Not quite as volatile as Trevor, but not much more consistent either.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Coleman will be the emotional leader, Malachi will be the guy they look to lead on the floor.

 

[dan7800]

Chinoso is going to step up next year. Just watch.

25ppg and 15 reb, 8 blocks

I was thinking the same thing.
