Add them to the incoming class of Zach Clemence, KJ Adams and the JUCO beast Sidney Curry and Self has added size, length, shooting and a better true PG. Looks good.

I can't say I agree. Of course, depends on attrition.

Curry should immediately compete for backup 5 minutes. If Enaruna stays, Clemence then Adams are decidedly behind Wilson and Enaruna.

I will be the last person to jump ship on Enaruna. It sure seems to me that there is a lot of skill overlap between Clemence and Enaruna. You'd think that the guy who's been here for two years would have a major leg up.

They could have all the same physical tools, and if he stays I'm sure Enaruna would have the upper hand initially. But as has been the case with him since he got on campus, can he stay out of his own way? How many of his mistakes are mental over physical? IMO, he's the exact opposite of TGF. TGF is out there trying to do too much in his limited minutes, whereas a lot of times it looks like Tristan doesn't know what he should be doing. Skill overlap at a position all comes down to who has the better BBIQ. I haven't seen Clemence play outside of a few highlight videos lasting a total of 5 minutes, but if someone told me his BBIQ and feel were miles ahead of Tristan's, I'd believe them.

The prep academies aren't teaching players how to run offense. It's just a bunch of pick and roll or use athleticism/BS tactics to try and draw a foul. It has affected the NBA's style negatively for at least 5 years now, too.

Players are more talented/athletic than ever, but running effective offense is a challenge. Just ask Duke and UK.

All of that is to say that it is not a huge surprise to me that Braun was so ready to play within the offense coming from a good HS coach at BVNW and Enaruna looks completely lost.
