New Warrior Katin Reinhardt

[HutchwasClutch]

Gonna be huge competition for minutes on the wing. Will be very interested to see how guys respond to that. Especially Sandy.

Why especially Sandy?   
Wilson, Carter, JJJ, Anim - all better improve over the summer, or any of them could get passed by for minutes next year.  None of those have done enough, shown enough, to be guaranteed anything next year.

Well JJJ is gonna be our best player so I hope to god he isn't nailed to the bench.

Disagree - Cheatham or Rowsey are going to be our best next year when it's all said and done.  Fischer close behind.

[Herman Cain]

I will amend some of my initial comments. If Sandy and or Wally is leaving , then I am keen on this this addition, as he will be an upgrade to those two and there will be enough minutes for him.

If they are staying, I think your going to have an unnecessary back court minutes problem.  We have plenty of good guards.

We need a thug at Power Forward.

[CAGASS24]

No insider knowledge but if Velazquez had such lock down sources he sure didn't broach the bsubject of a transfer in this article - even if no one transfers I like it - you want as many guys like this on your team as you can (i.e. Talents with experience)

[Boone]

We need more competition up front, not on the perimeter. What an unbalanced roster we have in store for us.

Whoever made this Photoshop that Reinhardt tweeted out should have tried harder:

I guess what I'm saying is as long as you can get your team to play fierce perimeter d and rotate appropriately you don't need many true bigs on your squad - it help us offensively at times yes and you will look terrible if your d isn't up to snuff but it's a shooters game right now and this makes us better in that regard

Carlino

I thought the same thing but I think punch means KR is the only guy on the team who has been to The Dance

[jesmu84]

Nope. Didn't miss a bit. Didn't miss that 'Nova has a pair of well built guards that can play inside on defense like PFs in Jenkins and Hart. You need guys that are tough and can go get the ball. Reinhardt doesn't seem to fit that bill. If someone surprises on the glass, great, but we'll need to hit 40% from deep as a team to offset our current rebounding questions.

So, two juniors? When wojos guys become upper class men, and aren't that developed, I'll start to fret. It's not like those two guys were the "pfs" their freshman year.

We made 8 straight NCAA's with mostly guard heavy teams.

[PGsHeroes32]

Cheatam will give him a run if he develops a mid range game.

Otherwise it's JJJ and probably not relatively close.

OK guys, lets think about this one.

We come off a season where more than half of our roster is basically inexperienced. Our biggest rap is that we're a talented bunch of inexperienced freshmen who make freshmen mistakes.

We recruit a "finished" senior guard who can come in and start for us next year. We thereby get the opportunity to gently bleed Howard into the rotation and we now have at least four guards for a game that arguably is a guard's game.

Not sure what the downside is. Anim is bulking up. Sandy is getting pressure to improve and perform and JJJ and Cheatham are now in the mix with some additional experience.

We also have senior leadership from a guard who can run the team. Not sure what the downside to this is.

Questions?

When will the twins win a game?

[Lennys Tap]

There has been a lot hinted at here in the past.

True. Why one guy even assured us that squirmy shoes would drop shortly after Buzz left. Crickets.

Carlino 2.0. Another kid who transfers a lot and is occupying a position we don't need any help at.

Are we really going to do this again? Carlino was the only reason we weren't 2-20.

[#UnleashSean]

These two have been working out with the team all off season so far. Would guess Wally or possibly Duane/JJJ

Duane and JJJ are not transferring. Can we stop with the worlds dumbest rumor.

[keefe]

This is a solid addition. We need shooters. KR makes us better.

[Boone]

We need rebounders! We have zero!

[WarriorPride68]

I said my guess would be Wally, but Duane/JJ was possible. Which is factually correct.

Relax

[Lennys Tap]

Carter, Rowsey, Howard, Cheatam, Duane, JJJ, Reinhardt. That's an awful lot of guards to split a finite number of minutes. Someone's not going to be happy, but I like the addition anyway.

Cheatham, JJJ, Reinhardt can all play more than just in the backcourt.
Other than Fischer and Heldt at 5, and Carter as PG, as the roster stands now, everyone else can play multiple positions. 
Minutes will work itself out, always does.

[forgetful]

So, only tall guys can rebound? Have your center box out the other center, crash defensive boards with your guards.

All about strategy, as much as anything.

Dennis Rodman:  6'7" 215
Katin Reinhardt:   6'6" 215

Like you said it is strategy and heart.  Cohen/Reinhardt have the size and intensity to be able to be great rebounders.  Now it is about strategy and feel.

[forgetful]

Cheatam will give him a run if he develops a mid range game.

Otherwise it's JJJ and probably not relatively close.

Agreed.  We will be playing a 4 out 1 in offense, where the 4 out all play about the same position, the difference will be on the defensive end.

For defense:
I think we see one of   Sacar/Sandy/Reinhardt/Hauser in at all times at the 4, with Reinhardt being able to also guard the 1/2/3.

JJJ/Duane/Howard/Cheatham will all be able to guard the 1/2/3.  If JJJ adds a bit more bulk, he may be able to help out at the 4 in a pinch.

Rowsey/Carter will be only at the 1.

Competition for minutes will be fierce.  We have 10 guys there fighting for 160 minutes.

Lol that's wally's number.
