Next March...

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Depends on how Wojo does in free agency.  But I think we'll have a much better team than this year in any event.

I don't know what the last 3 slots turn into, but if they turn into what I think they do....we are dancing next year.  I also think Henry is a 2 and done.  I don't think he goes next year and assuming things go as expected(which they never do and remember Murphy was an optimist) dancing next year and very deep run in 2017.

Yeah, Wade and Boxer - if he's not as heralded (Boxer) and not as much hype (WadesWorld) surrounding Henry, I guess you two must be right. Being heralded and hyped more than Henry ends the argument and proves Henry is clearly inferior to Okafor. 

Yeah... I don't know how to reach you. But I guess since being more heralded by professionals means nothing why stop at Henry? I expect Carter or Anim to put up Mcneal numbers! Scouts may not be always correct but Okafor would have been a straight to pros talent Henry would need a year.  He's special, I expect great things, particularly toward the end of the year but on a game by game basis?  Kevin Love put up 17.5, even Patrick ewing was 12.7, Gred oden 15.7, Chris webber 15.5.  Unless you're willing to make the statement that Henry is going to put up Durant or Carmelo numbers (I'll put that as my signature) then look at the facts that it doesn't happen often.

You're right, expecting those numbers from a freshman is absurd.  Special talents like Henry are leaps and bounds ahead of your typical freshman, and we all know it. 

Yes, we do know he's leaps and bounds ahead of your typical freshman.  Which is why I expect about 13, 5.5, and 2 from him.  Do you really think Hank is going to be better next year thank Frank Kaminsky is this year?  You're reaching if you do.

Completely unreasonable.  I expect him to be better than top 30 recruits JJJ and Vander Blue.  Better doesn't mean 18, 8, 4.5.  Absurd.

Bagpiping & Wade -

I guess we'll have to wait until next year, because until then it's speculation.  And the 18, 8, 4-5, I do believe he can do, but I also didn't state that as an absolute either if you go back and read what I wrote.  I do think he'll come in no lower than 15 ppg, no lower than 6 rbg, and no lower than 2.5 apg.  But those are basement level that I see him getting next year.   I still believe he'll end up at or much closer to 18,8, and 4 than his bottom performance level. 

Wade - 13, 5.5, and 2 - Jerel was 11, 4.5, and 2.7.  So you're projecting a McNeal like frosh season?   Again, no disrespect to Jerel, he had a solid freshman year, but the bar is without a doubt so much higher with this kid immediately putting on the blue and gold.

I think we all can agree it's going to be a ton of fun to watch.

[Blackhat]

I don't really care if we do next year but show me progress.  18-20 wins would be a fair bar.

We didn't exactly lose studs in Carlino, Anderson, Forgothisname.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

You don't say?  Interesting, I see Okafor's at 17.5 ppg, and 8.7 rbg for the season.  You're right, way out in left field with my prediction.  

You also said 4-5 assists per game. Okafor is 1.4 apg IIRC.

Even without the assists, you really want to put Hernry's bar at Jahil Okafor? Arguably one of the most dominant freshman of the modern era of basketball?

[bilsu]

No

[Marqevans]

I just wish we had guards that could shoot like Dienet or DJO.  That would make Henry and Luke much better.
