Next year's starting lineup needs to be...
- Thread starter soundcrib
- Start date
Who is center?
Need 7-8. Where’s your depth. Next year might be exciting but won’t necessarily mean wins.
We need a sharpshooter like Cam from the portal to balance out the team.
Anyone but Cliff, he disappears better than Houdini
spot on comment .The three point shooting was 4-25 which is abysmal.
JWill can’t start for precisely that reason imo
JWill is a locked in starter at this point
For next year? I don’t think a lineup of Dylan, Ace, JWill, Mag (?) and Cliff shoots better than 30% from 3
Defends, distributes, handles the ball, shoots free throws, can penetrate, vocal leader, and is experienced. But won't start next year SMH.
For starters, Ace will probably play the three.
Second, why Gavin? I like him, but he’s not ready to start

I think he can start and the sharpshooter will either be our 6th man or Gavin will.
I just don’t like the idea of starting “the year” without a proven three point scorer in the lineup
We don’t even know who will be on the roster. There’s going to be a minimum of 2 transfers in and 2 out
No, we need a real offense and not a playground shitshow with guards who don’t hunt for their own shots instead. DSelfish and JaMiss are not legit starters, even at mid major schools.

We don't know who will start until we see the final roster
Dylan JWill and Ace are locks
Cliff is a lock if he stays
Mag likely a lock as well if he stays
Will both Cliff and Mag be back? Probably not
A portal shooter could potentially start or be 6th / 7th man
Gavin possible starter. TBD how he looks by next season. If he puts on 15 lbs of muscle, watch out
Worried about defense with this starting five. Need Mag in place if Gavin, but with GG the sixth man.
Would like Cliff at center. He was a terror on defense for us this year, and erased a lot of mistakes made by our perimeter defenders.
Ok,
And Cliff is the best 5 in college basketball
And of course irreplaceable
😂

It's also TBD how good of defenders Dylan and Ace will be next season, especially early on. Having Cliff protecting the rim is huge
If Dylan and Ace are good defenders, which they should be capable of being...
Dylan JWill Ace Mag Cliff is a long athletic lineup that could be very good defensively and on the boards
There are few other morons who have made the same comment. People who don’t see what cliff would add next year, frankly, shouldn’t be commenting about basketball . Utterly moronic
Yeah, that was my (unstated) point. Two freshmen — no matter how much potential they have on defense — plus GG is not the recipe for defensive success. We need Mag and Cliff OR similar type players to balance out the team.
We’re on the same page as usual.
Anyone who thinks J William’s shouldn’t start at PG next year is nuts. The possibility of his return to play alongside Dylan changes my whole outlook on what’s possible. His vision is incredible including some of the passes that have resulted in turnovers - a stud recruit like Ace is going to field those (I don’t mean to pick on Wolf here either - he had a great game, Im just saying that with an elevated surrounding cast J Will brings tremendous value as a distributor).
We have no idea what kind of shooters we are getting in the frosh so it’s tough to say if we absolutely need a sharp shooter. We needed a distributor and found one in J Williams. Dylan needs to be a scorer - not focus on finding others.

I know you think you're being funny with your references to Simpson and Davis. Newsflash....you're not. You actually come off as maybe the biggest asshole on this board.
Be better.
Mag's a good player, but it may be a mistake to rely that heavily on a guy who can't stay on the court. He may be better in a 6-7 role.
Do you admonish those who say various players ‘suck’ ?
When you get to decide what my nicknames for others are, I’ll let you know. Until then, use the ignore feature.
OK Smelly69.
You do realize your "nicknames" make you sound like an ass, right? Do they make you feel better about yourself?

Dude - stop. We’re not bringing in 3 new players to start alongside Ace and Dylan. Unless we fail to retain J Will on our end - he’s top priority of the guards to maintain. Period. And he’s only attempted 18 threes so far. At least 2 were before shot clock violations so I’m not sure it’s really even fair to count them with such low overall volume.
He’s also more important than keeping Mag by far.
I think JWill's an awesome player, and if Dylan can come in and shoot 35% from three this is all moot. But by all accounts perimeter shooting is the last part of Dylan's game to come along, and JWill has proven to be a ~25% 3PT shooter.
Pair that with Mag, Cliff, and Ace, and three-point shooting would look really rough once again imo.
I don’t think Mag will be back. I’d be kind of surprised. Think we’re looking at J Will, Dylan and someone else (maybe a shooter?) at wing - possibly from the portal. Ace at the 4 and I’d love to keep Cliff at the 5 if he’d return.
