Looks like UNCW has some size on their roster. Move those feet Bradley and establish position.

I have a theory--and I admit it is a total complete pulling it out of my you-know-what theory--that Josh Smith might have been the best thing to happen to this year's team, vis a vis Hayes' hook shot. Putting aside whether Hayes should have gotten more of Hops or Smith's minutes last year (I'm going to trust that he just wasn't there yet, but you believe whatever floats your boat since none of us actually know), it's important to remember that Hayes was having to go up daily against a guy who was without question heavier and stronger than he was. So if you're not able to muscle your way to the basket, what do you do? You learn to shoot over him. You don't want to square up to the basket from 2-3 feet away, and while some on this board probably don't agree, Smith did have pretty fast hands. So I have to believe that Hayes spent two years going up against Smith and the only offensive weapon available to him would have been the hook shot. Hayes wouldn't have been able to drop step against him, Smith was too wide to move around. The best thing Hayes could have done against a guy with Smith's bulk was a quick hook shot that would have been impossible for Smith to block. And I"m sure Hayes got accustomed to body contact while shooting it as well and learned to adjust. I'm probably totally wrong. But he's just so comfortable (and is so quick) with that shot that it's the only thing that makes sense to me. Get the ball and get the one shot off quickly before Smith smothers you. And repeat. So there. I'm staking a claim that, whatever he did in season the last two years, Smith was a huge benefit to this year's team (no pun intended). No, you're right. Because he wasn't a big man till like 2010 and even then was hobbled with growing injuries/pains. He's now finally healthier and stronger than he's ever been and it's showing. Thanks for seeing the bigger picture. Interesting take. Tough to argue this. Bradley looks really smooth and confident with his hook. That being said, he needs to finish stronger and given the opportunity, dunk that ish hard.

Any insight onto who we have scheduled for the closed door scrimmages? I know feedback is always limited to none. Thanks in advance.

I didn't learn much from the interview but it's still nice to hear JTIII talk about the team, expectations, and Italy.

With his recent rate of progression, he may play himself into the league. Who knows...Keep working Trey!

60-26 4 min. left in the 3rd. DSR in street clothes. Doubt we will see him at all as he's nursing his ankle with no boot.

This is the most depth we have had under JTIII in my opinion. Purely speculating but I think 3 goes deep into the bench in games that he needs to. ie. foul trouble, cold shooting, defensive/offensive droughts, light a fire under someone's rear, rest, and provide experience.
My projected starters: DSR, Peak, White, Copeland, Govan Quality bench minutes: Agau, Campbell, Hayes, Derrickson, Johnson Spare bench minutes if needed: Cameron, Mourning Clean up duty: Williams, Allen
I'm salivating at the options and rotations that JTIII has in his arsenal. I can only imagine how he feels. This is gonna be a fun year.
