What is the projected lineup for this year?
spent 5 minutes perusing the historical record.
2 years in and this is the year we find out how good this class was?
celiscar is a known known. he worked hard on his outside game as per instagram.
hope it bears fruit.
Is that other board still active? I cant seem to figure out how to make an account
Our shooting is going to be interesting this year. All our best players are effectively front court options.
yes. see above
probably unfair to expect celiscar to stretch the defense at this point. but we know how effective he is at other things.
we do need brathwaite and fox to deliver on their promise as shooters and playmakers to complement mullen, wallace jr arlington etc.
i think the biggest question will be steady pg play even if by committee. i am optimistic on the aforementioned shooting abilities though no question it is a huge swing factor if only #2
I do believe it will be pg by committee this year. As mentioned, our top 4 players are not ball handlers/playmakers off ball screens (celiscar, simmons, Townsend, aletan) which will make for some interesting lineup decisions.
Any words from secret scrimmages who is playing in the guard spots for us? Like Mullins, but our other guards would make us one of the bigger b in country as far as size/rebousing/defense goes
just a text from an alum who watched practice and could shoot the eyes out in his day.
he said dont worry about shooting so it reinforces my bias above ![]()
he also said townsend will be the point forward which isnt too surprising though doesnt address my 2 key questions
Did he say anything about the lineup? And if any freshman will be significant contributors
vague but he liked the freshmen. he said as it was early days not much to glean on lineups from 1 practice
for context he predicted mullen to blow up last year based on practice. not sure if that was a good prediction. he had his moments i suppose
i am very bullish on wallace jr and ogunyemi based on my own eyes in both aau and for the latter, aau and countless high school games in which i have coached against him.
anyone who has played for JJ tends to be biased against freshmen contributing. this year could be different bc of obvious need at pg and sg.
daniel is a beast. but he is behind townsend and celiscar etc for now.
the context is i called celiscar a beast also and rhe day he committed and for similar reasons.
