Romar and this roster management, DNC (free pub!) and other hoop experts chime in, fuck it it's off

Agree, but most of these guys, except possibly Green, have more to offer than Dorsey.huskyhooligan said:Remember the season that Dorsey had? Expect that for a lot of these guys, with the exception they will have more opportunities to work through (at least hopefully) their issues in game situations.

NM wrong thread

This class has much more athleticism than Dorsey. Don't expect them to be physically limited on defense.RoadDawg55 said:

Dorsey started the year pretty well for a freshman. I think he was on that tournament team they played down in California and was hitting big threes. Thennnnnnnn not much after that. So much of his game in high school was breaking down defenders but he was timid in the bigger stronger faster college game. I still like his upside. I like all of the players they signed upside. (wink wink)

I think Dorsey will likely end up sucking. Maybe he can become a good role player. Hopefully he loses some weight and gets used to the speed of the game. He was really bad at everything except spot up shooting, and even his shooting wasn't great after the first month of the season.huskyhooligan said:Dorsey started the year pretty well for a freshman.

Dorsey was also about the 4th or 5th option on the court when he was on the floor. This team will have most of it's players going against elite players at zona, or more seasoned vets at other schools. Romar has never been one to excel with inexperienced talent.RoadDawg55 said:

Dorsey was proto frosh. Had glimmers, wasn't ready for the speed or the physical nature of the game. Will likely look a lot better next year or will be another transfer when frosh are playing over him. I don't expect much other than a role player/shooter off the bench. Which, btw, teams need to succeed. I just don't see him as some electric player who is going to be all conference. He did surprise me how big he was last year, and maybe he gets cut over the offseason and gains some explosion on his game.

Juco and transfer may be okay, but i don't expect any frosh to be good on defense. It's less common than frosh who can score consistently. It may be the speed, physical nature, or just the fact that many of these kids have never actually played defense before(thanks AAU). I just don't see this as being a good mix. Usually you need some experience on the floor to make your defense less exposed playing youngn's. Instead it's going to be a full team of them.ThomasFremont said:

I agree, the athletes are better and over a year or two development they could be WAY better defensively, but next year is going to be ugly. Everyone remember the likes of Ross trying to play defense his frosh year???? Where'd whooooo gooooo? -
How the fuck does Coach Cal do it? Terrence Jones outplayed MBA head to head, and I'm positive Terrance Ross and Wroten would have excelled playing Kentucky ball as true Freshman. So is it the coach or the system? Duke and a ton of other schools not named UW can play true freshman, and succeed.FreeChavez said:

Anyway, Dime looks like he may actually be good next year.

Murray and Thybulle are both good defenders.FreeChavez said:

Murray will lead the team in steals next year. Guaranteed. -
I think Chriss will be a good defender. The problem is athleticism does not always equal playing good defense. Some of these guys will be dumbasses with very little to no concept of team defense, they will ball watch too often, give inconsistent effort, etc.
