Am I the only one that hates when teams settle for a 2 foot inbounds pass on final possessions like that? At least try to get it down the court a bit.

2 foot pass on the last inbounds was a nice touch.

Another board I post on occasionally allows "Survivor" contests between two users where the guy with fewer votes over a day or two gets banned. I wish we could do that here.

Actually, I disagree, Saxa. I thought he ran the offense fine. He was a pretty good passer and I never remember him being in the wrong spot. He just couldn't hit the side of a barn in any situation. I don't think he was a good passer, and his A/TO ratio certainly doesn't bear it out. I have higher standards for a guard running the offense than (usually) making a successful 5 foot pass. He was good at needless spins though.

The statistics say that so far in his career Jeff has been better offensively at the 4, but struggled defensively. Conversely, he has struggled offensively at the 3 but been better on defense.

A few people have mentioned Nate taking Henry's minutes - for this game at least, didn't seem like they were in competition. Sims only subbed in for Julian, and Nate only played the 4. That seems to make sense, as with Nate and Benimon or Thompson in, we would be very weak inside with no shot-blocking presence. Henry has a lot of problems, but he's tall and can block shots.
As for Hollis, he's in the same situation as Dajuan was - it's easier to score against 4s since they don't post-up, but neither can defend or rebound with 4s.

No it was called Jeff cant guard LaMarcus Aldridge who his 3 inches taller than him and much longer, they quickly switched him on to Camby from the 2nd Q on. As much as being on OKC means Jeff might get a sniff at a title, man do i want him off that team so he can play the 3,lol. The problem is that while his defense is much better at the 3, his offense gets worse since he doesn't get as many open Js and can't beat 3s off the dribble.

Scoop Jadine seems to think that we will be better w/o Greg.... Other way around. He said we'll be easier to beat without Monroe.

Wright, Freeman, and Clark are all going to play 30+ minutes. Vaughn and likely Hollis will be in the high 20s. After that it's a crap shoot.
So, knowing, the above, I don't really care who starts because we already know the 5 guys that will be getting the most minutes.

We shouldn't have to recruit guys that aren't very talented (like Benimon) to find energy.
I have no problem recruiting guys that are limited offensively, but not when they are 6'6" power forwards that aren't particularly good at anything. And no, he wasn't a good rebounder last year.

Assuming their skills develop, very few teams are going to be able to matchup physically with an Adams/Ayegba combo.

Some people on here have been down on Hopkins but this is obviously a great get considering the way things were looking a month ago.

Don't forget that a year ago people were saying to save scholarships for 2011.

Hollis has my vote. Could be a break out year for Hollis. That means Hollis' only chance at starting is the 4 and he will not break out if he's playing the 4. Why not? With his skill set he'd put up better numbers being guarded by 4s than 3s - it isn't like he is gonna post anyone up. It wouldn't be ideal for the team because we'd struggle on D and the boards, but it would be ideal for his numbers. The same was true with DaJuan.

I'm a little worried too. We need at least 1 player with star potential in this class, because I'm not sure that anyone on the roster who is returning could realistically be the best player on a team that contends for a national title.

Unfortunately, you could easily argue that 7 of our 8 best players next season will be perimeter players. I'd still rather go big but I suspect that the roster is going to struggle to produce anywhere near 80 BE quality minutes at PF and C next year.

As far as smoothness and moves he appears to be able to eat the lunch of all our bigs- JV, JB, MA and NL, but not Hank.. What does this even mean? And why are you comparing him to PFs and Cs?

It was only 1 Kenner game, but man - was very impressed with Bowen. I actually disagree with some who have been saying he's like a shorter version of Hollis - I think he's a more dynamic type of player. It looks like he has the ability to create his own shot, slash a little, etc. He is definitely similar to Hollis in that he is long and has a very nice stoke, though. Looks like possibly a very good get for somebody who probably had the least hype of the 4 freshmen. Agree that Bowen has easily been the most impressive freshman since he showed up. He has a similar body type to Hollis, but he's shorter and isn't as good a shooter (I assume - he's shot well so far in Kenner). On the plus side he is quicker and more coordinated, so unlike Hollis he doesn't look awkward and uncomfortable whenever he tries to do something besides shoot a 3.
