Next years Center

[willie warrior]

I stand corrected, Parham not Hamilton. My bad.

Parham belongs down low, not shooting 3s. Periodically, maybe, but he is not a consistent 3 point threat.

[Jay Bee]

We need to start Sean Jones at center. Tonight.

Only if Hamilton plays point-center.

Oh man just shuddered thinking of our center (forget the name now) bringing up the ball versus a brutal full court press when Diener was injured.  Prob had 25+ turnovers that game.

Hamilton > Giannis

RJax?  Or was it someone else.  Probably after that...Marcus Jackson?

[tower912]

Marcus Jackson, IIRC.  JUCo transfer? Low post banger?

[Viper]

As mentioned, he's dealing with shin problems, so if he's hurt, sure. If he's available he's the starter and that won't change.

Should he be OUT at any point due to injury, the defense would take a noticable hit. He's very impactful defensively and his presence alone helps this team regardless of the numbers he's accumulating.

could not disagree more. Gold is just a guy...and at this point just a guy would be better. If he's injured, sit him. If not injured, he regression is alarming. Start Parnham vs DeP regardless.

[Viper]

Again, you are taking a very positive look on Sean without looking at his obvious short-comings.

...no pun intended, I assume 🤣

That was it... Marcus Jackson.  Poor guy... never had a chance.

Yep, that was in the NIT loss to Western Michigan after Dameon Mason could not handle the job. That was one ugly game at a sparsely attended game at the BC. Was unfortunately there for it all.

Me too.

There is some serious Backup QB Syndrome in this thread re Sean.

[tower912]

Yes.

[Markusquette]

Regarding center, things aren't looking so good for the near future but hopefully Clark surprises. He's got the height and length. Since this topic turned into discussing the starters for 25-26 I'm predicting it will be:

Jones, Lowery, Ross, Parham, Gold

next 5 up:
Norman, Owens, Hamilton, Stevens, Phillips

I would imagine 2 out of the 4 newcomers are rotation guys at some point in the year.

Careful. You get yelled at for thinking Parham is capable of shooting from outside and stretching the floor around here.

Coaches will happily live with Royce Parham hoisting 3s.  He's a 29% 3 point shooter, and a freshman off the bench no less.  Much more efficient inside.

I can see Norman being the odd man out even though Shaka seems to like him. Last game he had 2 wide open threes and was not close. When he does score it is a surprise to all of us, really a weak link

[Jay Bee]

Owens, Chase, Zaide, Royce, Ben

[TSmith34, Inc.]

LOL

Since BE play started, Parham is 37.9% from 3...but willie has feelings.

[willie warrior]

Aha. Another reeker sycophant. Another ignore button.

[tower912]

Owens, Chase, Zaide, Royce, Ben

#SoBig

So versatile.  I keep landing on Zaide as the fifth starter, along with my etched in stone 4.  And then I talk myself into Tre/Sean at the point with Zaide being a super sub.  Seriously conflicted.
