Isaiah Stewart, Jaden McDaniels, Quade Green, Naz Carter, Jamel Bey, Raequan Battle, Nate Roberts, Hameir, Tshonis/Hardy, and BPJ is pretty ridiculous. We have all the components to be an elite team.
Depth is really overrated in college basketball. 8 deep with guys you trust is perfect.
I would like to see Wright get pushed out by someone better. I don’t think Roberts or BPJ will be very good yet. We need one to turn out to be at least a solid role player and back up big.
Hop’s been raving about Roberts. He’s improved a lot this offseason. I think he’s going to get a lot of minutes. Dude is a freak show
Upper echelon of the Pac-12 finish + NCAA tournament early exit
People still vastly under-estimating how terrible the guard play could be to start the season, it will literally be hanging on by a thread and dependent on guys like Hardy and Naz who had limited play time last year completely carrying the load at PG... god forbid an injury happens and one of the walk-ons is forced onto the court at PG
200 total mpg last year:
Nowell 35 mpg Crisp 33 mpg Thybulle 31 mpg Dickerson 26 mpg Green 23 mpg Carter 21 mpg Wright 18 mpg Timmins 10 mpg Bey 6 mpg Hardy 0 mpg
BENCH: Bey 20 mpg (6 original + 6 Thybulle + 8 Green) Wright 18 mpg (original) Timmons 5 mpg (original)
Mins still to fill: 5 mpg Nowell 13 mpg Crisp
Hardy will have to basically go from not playing to playing 30 mpg every game. Naz, Stewart, and McDaniels are playing almost the entire game.
Bey and Battle are splitting heavy time at the 2-4 depending on matchups.
Wright plays major mins every game as versatile bigman off the bench.
Still leaves 18 mpg available with basically no one else that can play 1/2 guard.
Its basically a team with no PG and 3 true freshman (good ones) at the start of the season. The season could very easily be over in the preseason if things go poorly and then everyone mails it in so they dont get injured and can go play in the NBA. OR... If Hardy or Naz gets injured at the start lol.
Quade better be good when he is allowed to play or this team is headed for destination fucked.
BUT, the amount of TOs indicate that PG is going to be a problem if Hardy is the only option.
Hop will have his work cut out getting these guys to gel ASAP.
Hardy couldn’t even get minutes last year. Expecting much from him seems dumb. I’ve been excited about this team, but this is bring me back to reality.

Same. I went wild with the off-season natty.
But PG is the most important position and we don’t have one (yet?)

Nuff said.

End of doog session.
We can still doog because Quade. If he’s good, and he will be at least solid, we’ll be really good by the end of the year.
Fultz is doing well so far. He’ll never be more than a starter on a bad team and his game doesn’t really work on a winning team, but he’s not going to be the all time bust that seemed likely. He’s still a bust and will never make an All Star team, but he’s not entirely horrible.

Granted it was without Jaden and Quade.
