Re: 21-22 lineup
Was he, though?
Dude was good enough to start as a freshman, and was always a high major starter unless injured.

And Dok embraced the old school center role. It’s not like he wanted to shoot fadeaways and mid range jumpers
Re: 21-22 lineup
The only issue I might have is one of analytics. Crunch the numbers and decide if that’s really worth shooting, cuz it’s otherwise the worst shot in hoops.
But yeah, ideally we bring more of an offense than standing around waiting til late in the clock for our center to shoot midrange jumpers.

Re: 21-22 lineup
Dave is probably the least of our worries next season.
I don't think that he was ever the best big in the country nor will he ever be because he's still just such a spaz.
He would be so great and beloved if he was a 2nd or 3rd option on any given night. We have also just been blessed with so many damn good players to compare him and Marcus to.

Re: 21-22 lineup
Did you even watch the game last night. Because you are being so unfair to Big Dave. Last nights debacle was so much more than one guy missing shots.
Re: 21-22 lineup
Yes. You want Dave to be the guy the opposing coach goes "that too???" when he kills you for covering shooters.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 10:24 am Dave is probably the least of our worries next season.

In other words, the guy you can't gameplan for, because you have other shit to worry about.

AND it also correlated to having elite guard play.jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 10:06 amDoke was a black hole, until he wasn't. And then he was the best big in the country.ousdahl wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 10:04 am Thinking about Dave’s game, doesn’t it seem like the ball stops with him a lot?
If he gets it in the post, he’s gonna collect and assess, which give the d time to square up and maybe even double.
Contrast that with Dok, who would often pin the D and be making a move to the hoop before he even caught the ball, and often score in rhythm, within a second or less of being fed.
Now I know Dok is physically superior to Dave, but I think it’s also very much a footwork thing, and I dunno what’s preventing Dave from improving that.

Re: 21-22 lineup
At least will have a lot of frontcourt players.
That's not a roster built to play 4 guards.

Re: 21-22 lineup
In a 4-out, I could see all of TGF, CB, Enaruna, Adams, Clemence, and Wilson playing at the 4.

Re: 21-22 lineup
Don't want to burst any bubbles, but he's got a lot of work to do in that area. I like that he should be good for us on the boards and defense. Much bigger presence than Mitch or Gethro. Maybe a shorter/less athletic Cliff Alexander?PhDhawk wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 3:38 pmnah, Vital is fat.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 3:35 pm jfc...Curry looks like a load
