Next years Center

[Jockey]

1st line. C'mon Mike! You know how easily Muggsy gets his panties in a knot over disrespecting diminutive people.

Your comment about decision making echoes mine. I think Sean has a ton of potential and am optimistic that he will reach it, but every time he took off at full speed towards the basket with no brakes applied drove me crazy. He's a sports car. Really good brakes are essential for a sports car if you want to avoid a crash.

Why should Willie be the only guy who gets to rename players.? I'm going with Miata Sean.

Reminds me of Jop driving to the hoop. He'd get there with no idea of what to do next. Now, he uses jump stop, pivot, going up and under. or using a fadeaway.

Guys learn. Guys get better.

4 of the starting five will be Gold, Parham, Owens, Ross.  Put it in ink, etch it in stone.

Lowery not making your starting 5 is wild to me!

[ATL MU Warrior]

Start? Sure, he's one of the 6  or 7 players I think will compete for a starting role. (5 upperclassmen + DO and RP). GE03 said that he will be one of the best PGs in the league. I think it's very fair to question that considering where his skillset was, as well as the fact that he will be coming off a major injury.

Nice!  I made someone's signature! 

[BCHoopster]

Idk how you're reading this, but my point is that what he did was already good. Getting more of what he already did will only show how valuable he already was. 25 minutes of Sean Jones is better than 15 minutes of Sean Jones.

The good reason for limited minutes is that Tyler Kolek and Kam Jones are All American talents and NBA players, so sure. That's a good reason in my book.

Let's remember Sean had a serious knee issue that he feels is not good enough to play right now. I do not know of any kid
That does not want to play right now. So do we know or does he know he will bebetter in 8 months, no.  I think the best point guard is Nigel James as he can create shots for his teammates since
he can get by anybody with the dribble.
Sean was a two guard, has to improve his passing and court awareness.

Tons of guys can get around their defender in HS.

[We R Final Four]

Admittedly a long shot, but I can picture Chase, Zaide, and DO being the starting guards.

So that etching of starters was in soft stone? More like sand?

[Big Papi]

Sean and Zaide are starting next year. So are Ross and Gold.

Owens or Parham will be the fifth starter and the other will be the first off the bench.

None of the freshmen will start.

I dont know how Al gets any playing time but he does believe he is our best offensive rebounder.

Not if Zaide is the fifth starter.

[We R Final Four]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm not sure of Hamilton's intangibles like work ethic or drive. Haven't seen enough of him. But what I have seen is passable potential. He doesn't seem afraid of

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm not sure of Hamilton's intangibles like work ethic or drive. Haven't seen enough of him. But what I have seen is passable potential. He doesn't seem afraid of his moments. Will take the three and hit it as well as lean on guys in the post. He's not that starter quality now for sure...but big upside.

He hasn't hit a 3 yet. 0-7

Gold
Parham
Owens
Zaide
Ross..........thats your starting five?

Lets revisit this is November.

[tower912]

Possibly.  I think Owens starts over Lowery.  I doubt that Chase starts at the point, but it is possible.  If he does, that opens the door for Lowery  to be the 5th starter.

I think that the PG is TBD.  I am confident on the other 4, assuming all are on the MU roster.   I acknowledge the possibility that Zaide starts over DO, but I still lean DO.

Zaide starts and Sean starts.

Mone of the freshmen will start?
You don't know that.The team desperately needs consistent 3 point shooting. It is reported that several of the new guys shoot the 3 well. If they do, then somebody needs to be in there. Where will get consistent 3 point shooting from? Gold? Please.

Willie, how many true freshmen have started in the Shaka era?  Kam, for a couple of games.  It is cool you have so much faith in the recruiting class of 2025.

[BCHoopster]

In a slow day to discuss anything this has been a good discussion!

[Scoop Snoop]

With Shaka sticking with his starting 5 pretty much for entire seasons (barring injury), I cannot see a freshman being one of them. We do not have 5 star one-and-dones like Duke et al.

[Zog from Margo]

Possibly.  I think Owens starts over Lowery.  I doubt that Chase starts at the point, but it is possible.  If he does, that opens the door for Lowery  to be the 5th starter.

I think Lowery will be hard to keep out of the starting lineup. He's the best defender off the bench and much more physical than the freshmen. His football background definitely helps. Owens does have a high ceiling, but he'll need to take a big jump on D (like most freshmen). James might be the wildcard at the PG spot.

[GoldenEagles03]

I'm going to end my portion of the discussion here because this year is still important to me, but I will stone cold guarantee Sean Jones is starting next year.

For anyone that hasn't heard this yet (hopefully this works, I'm not the greatest with tech).

As many here like to say, Shaka is telling us exactly what he is thinking and what he is going to do.  Maybe we should listen regarding his thoughts on Sean.

I might be thinking of the wrong guy!
Whose the bench center who has hit a couple 3s?

I stand corrected, Parham not Hamilton. My bad.

Sorry, my faith will be formed when I see these guys play. I do not have faith in Gold because of his disappearance in many games and seeing too many changers. Don't have any faith that the guys being projected to start will be consistent 3 point shooters. This team will desperately need 3 point shooters and some down low bangers. None of the guys projected have those skills. So let's see what the frosh wings offer.

[tower912]

So, as usual, this team sucks, next season's team sucks, Crean, Buzz, Wojo, Shaka suck.   Thank you for being a rock of consistency.
