One of the bigger things that hop has me excited about is being able to develop some of the lower tier guys. I’ll be first to say timins was not a good signing based on romar beingbhos coach, but he has turned into at least serviceable big.

He gives good minutes and plays decent defense. Exciting development.
The team is ok. Guard play is way ahead of what our bigs are bringing. Timmins wouldn't start on any top 25 team and Dickerson is inconsistent and at a physical disadvantage against elite bigs. It will be another couple of years but I like they way we play and we are seeing young talent develop. Hopkins has definitely got the team playing much more disciplined basketball than under Romar....

Honestly I think they’re quite good.
They’re one bad call away from being 14-3.
Should be 15-2 if officating wasn’t god awful in Minnesota and Gonzaga games.

Next year.
Looks like Stewart is in the bag and McDaniels is a lean.

Timmins definitely had a good game (relatively speaking) tonight but I’m still LIPO in terms of if he’s really turned a corner. He’s burned me too many times with fucktarded plays to trust him
If they beat Cal tomorrow I'll really start to believe in this team. They look like they've matured a lot offensively and have figured some things out. The biggest thing is they've figured out how to not have to rely on Dickerson for points. Carter finding his shot has helped tremendously.
Nowell was unstoppable off the bounce last night.
I kind of feel like this team will win the conference going away but lose the PXT. I think the multiple back to back nights could be where not having a point guard finally catches up to us. I just don't know how they can stack enough wins in the conference to make the big dance, there just aren't enough quality wins out there.
Would love to see Hardy or Bey get some more run, the 7 man rotation is working right now but we are going to need some more depth at some point this year and especially next year. The only players getting any run right now that will likely be here next year are Timmins, Carter and Wright.
I just can't see Nowell coming back but if he does next year could be, well, special.

Whether timmins would start for a top 25 team is irrelevant. Whether he's making positive contributions to the team is what matters. We have enough scoring on the wings and dont' need some dominate center. I don't agree dickerson is at a huge disadvantage against most teams. Sure, if you're talking the top 5 teams in teh nation than of course, but the other 20 in the top 25 all have their warts.
The biggest fallacy is that there are a lot of posts in basketball at any level. There aren't a shit ton of good bigs in the NBA, let alone D1 basketball. At the college level the vast majority are developed. That's where Romar was such a joke. He couldn't develop anyone and yet would bring in projects.

We’re playing Cal tomorrow, they’ll get a ton of run

Davis had a shitty game last night but that guy would have been a big difference maker for this program. You could argue that with him last year UW makes the tourney. Having him as an insurance policy for games when Crisp would go full retard may have stemmed the tide in a few of their late season losses. He's now on a middling team coached by the fat corpse of Jared Haas and his buddy Jaylon is playing in his home city for the dynamic and gregarious Hopkins, leading the conference standings. Further proof where none was needed that kids are dumb.
Still wondering why Naz isn't starting? Just me? ok. Also, Noah is so polished with his post moves and inside game, I don't see him as a weak spot on our team, but would rather have someone taller with the same skills. When we land a 6'10+ kid with the same inside game that's when a reel run to the sweet 16 will happen.

Ok Naz starts, Who would you prefer sits then; Thybulle or Nowell? 🙄
And there’s maybe 3-4 +6’10” high school big men in the country with Noah’s skill set in the post. We’re about to get the 6’9” version in Isaiah Stewart. Otherwise you have to develop kids like that which takes time (BPJ/Roberts).

Maybe not their defensively yet?
