2022-2023 Lineup

[InfiniteJ]

I'm curious to know if KJ's camp will demand his PT come at the 4 next year. b/c he's turning into the perfect modern small ball 5 at this level. Tremendous passer and strong enough to not be a complete liability on D.

God help the rest of college basketball if KJ can some how develop an outside shot.

I think KJ will play the 4 next year simply because JW will be gone. McCullar likely gone. And Udeh, hopefully, is ready to be our anchor at the 5.

We may be a strangely put together team next year if we don't keep JW KM or GD.

[ousdahl]

Zuby/Udeh/Zach/???
KJ
KM/MJ?
Bobby/Elmarko?
Dajuan

Lots of question marks.

But let’s save that for the 2023-2024 lineup thread

My early guess at day 1 starting 5 is:

DH
Bobby
MJ
KJ
Udeh

[CrimsonNBlue]

Harris
Rice
Dick
McCullar
Adams

3-peat.

[ousdahl]

Harris
Rice
Dick
McCullar
Adams

Well if you’re gonna go that route…

NO WAY 5th year senior Jalen would come off the bench!

For real tho, I like the idea of us being good enough with KJ at the 5 that we can keep him there.

But next year, we’ll have at least one legit big off the bench more ready to contribute too

[CrimsonNBlue]

First, this is a honeymoon season.

But, be honest, though, think of Bill's past teams and then think of this team where these guys are starting and have huge roles: Harris, McCullar, and Adams.

And it's not like the bench is any good either. Honeymoon season.

[hasbeen]

Yeah, the season after a title is whatever.

But if we're gonna lose, I'd prefer that Bill put the big fella out there. The rebounding is a joke and KJ can barely finish games because of the work he's having to put in out of position (he's a wing).

I was really excited about KM but JFC you can't have him and Harris out there together for that long.

I think overall that McCullar has been fine this season, but we needed him AND one more transfer. Garrett looked a lot better in 2020 than 2021.

We only have 1 real, long term, NBA player on this team.

I agree with hasbeen, put the big fella out there.....but gosh does he look bad and completely throw off our entire team when he's out there.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Udeh is one of the most lost frosh bigs I've seen here.

But, as discussed last week, you gotta have someone ready to go.

[Deleted User 863]

Udeh is one of the most lost frosh bigs I've seen here.

I think if you actually threw him out there and let him go that he'd foul out within the first 15min of the game.

[hasbeen]

He absolutely looks lost but you need to see what you have for next year. It's also possible he looks lost because he plays 2 minutes and gets pulled. I know Bill has a quick pull with all freshman and this isn't new, but we've gotten punked in each loss this year. We've tried quickness, let's try some size now.

No question. I want to see Udeh, Yesufu, and Rice on Saturday. We don't have the maybe-Remy-will-come-back this time around. See what we've got. This lineup and offense isn't going to take us far.

[pdub]

Miss me with Yesufu.
We know what he can do.

But Rice and Udeh, yes.

[lwh69ku]

Bobby is the only one who actually attacks the rim to score of him, Harris, Yesufu. Let’s give him more than 5 minutes and see if he can help the offense.

[pdub]

Bobby isn’t any better than Yes at this point.

They both are equally meh.

Bobby just seems like a worse Dajuan to me.

I am by no means on the Yesufu train, it's just more of an indictment on Harris--he plays too much. We haven't really seen Yesufu at the 1 yet this year. IDK, he just seems a little more basketball player than Bobby, but I understand it feels like throwing different shit at the wall.

[lwh69ku]

Bobby isn’t any better than Yes at this point.

Yeah, looking at his stats, he’s played a lot more minutes and done a lot more nothing than I thought. He’s shown flashes of getting to the rim but also had games with 20 minutes of playing time and 0 points, 0 shot attempts, 0 assists to show for it.

[pdub]

Bobby doesn’t shoot.
Yes shoots and misses.
