Shaka better figure out to bring at least 2 transfers who could start next year. Has 2 guards who can start and maybe Egbuono can start as well.  Then he can grow the bench with returnees.

Same.  I see 12 wins.

It was astonishing how quickly Shaka turned the Wojo era to a top 10 team, and now how quickly the program has likely crashed to the bottom of the Big East.

Did you see him allow layups and dunks down the stretch? He is not meaningfully better from sophomore year

He starts every year shooting poorly and shoots better in BE play. 9 game shooting sample.

I don't even know how to argue this because there are so many ways he's better on defense. Plus, I have eyes.

Carlin's could win a game.

Yeah Ben is far from this team's problem.

Quote from: brewcity77 on Today at 09:28:13 PMI think at this point this is a fun little exercise and viable debate. Okay...let's go position by position:

• PG: Nigel James vs Derrick Wilson
• SG: Chase Ross vs Matt Carlino
• SF: Zaide Lowery vs Duane Wilson
• PF: Ben Gold vs Juan Anderson
• C: Caedin Hamilton vs Luke Fischer
• Bench: Parham/Norman/Stevens vs Johnson/Taylor/Cohen

.
I'd take James narrowly over Derrick and Ross over Carlino. I think 2015 wins every other matchup. Wilson, Juan, & Luke were far more consistent with higher game-to-game ceilings.

As far as the teams, offenses were similarly bad, but while Ross has explosive potential, Carlino is the best pure scorer and the Duane/Fischer combination are better secondary options than anyone we have now. Defense is shockingly close. Better rim protection, eFG% defense, and TO rate in 2015, but this is a much better rebounding team.

I lean 2015, what say you?

LMAO "I'll take James narrowly over Derrick."  Sounds about right from you, Brew!

Derrick Wilson was the worst player to ever play 30+ per game for two seasons in MU basketball history. Tre Norman is better than Derrick, FFS.

Are we gonna turn it around or will this be the worst season since Wojo? Buzz? Deane? Naismith?
