That is certainly possible. Wade seems to really like Eason so I have him starting at the 4.

There’s not shot in hell he plays the 3. After 4 years why do people still say this? The 3 in college is a shooting guard. He’s a stretch 4 not a wing.

quote:

PG Pinson
SG Miller
SF Days
PF Eason
C Reid



That should be the starters, with maybe someone beating out Eason, but that looks good, with experience at guard, good scoring averages from last year, and a talented freshman center and good bigs backing the C & F positions. Full team below and on paper looks awesome:

Starters:

PG- Pinson Senior 6'2" 14PPG 3APG
SG- Miller Soph. 6'3" 8.5PPG 3RPG
SF- Days Senior 6'7" 12PPG 8RPG
PF- Eason Soph. 6'9" 7.5PPG 6RPG
C- Reid Fresh. 6'11"

PG- Gaines Soph. 6'2"
SG- Murray Fresh. 6'5"
F- Wilkinson Soph. 6"6"
F- Fudge Fresh. 6'8"
F/C- Ezewiro Fresh. 6'8"
F/C- O'Neal Junior 6'10"
C- Colbert Fresh. 6'9"

We need another guard to handle the ball and shoot it, in case we get foul trouble.

However, if Tre Mitchell would have wanted in, then 4 guards are plenty. But he went elsewhere, so get another guard and lets ride to the Elite 8. If this team can gel and be a cohesive unit, then we have plenty of talent to go to the Final 4.

You can’t play Days at the 3. He’d foul out in 10min

I agree he is not a natural 3. Maybe Wade puts Days at the 4 and Eason at the 5 at times.

These are good problems to have.

You and I agree on that. Half the roster would be better at the three than Days.

Good point. He does like to foul. However, he needs to be in the lineup, let him shoot the rock!!

Would you have played seneca knight at the 3?

I heard you said he would "be one of the leading scorers".

Interesting.

Days is not a 3.

Knight could have played the 2 and the 3.

He has the talent to be one of the leading scorers but the minutes at those spots are going to be divided up between

2

Miller
Murray
Pinson

3

Wilkinson
Murray
Eason
Shareef


Knight will end up somewhere & play well. I’ll let you know about it peej

Yeah, that's why he's not even on the team you dork.

A scorer always has a spot.

You don't let an elite shooter/scorer out the door.

We've all seen wade give shooters the green light.

I think to speculate about starters with so little information about how all the new players will relate to each other and how they will react to what Coach Wade wants them to do, is just a wee bit early. Days is the one player we do know something about and it is hard to imagine he won't start. But just because you start doesn't mean you will get 30 minutes a game. I am sure there will be frequent subs with this much depth.

I always take Wade’s offseason breakdowns with a grain of salt, but he’s acting like he made a huge jump

Knight had decent size for a 2 but I think that’s where his skills would have landed him here. I know know about reef being a 3, highly unlikely. Don’t forget about fudge, who was with the team last season. And could end playing a point forward type similar to watford.

Have to agree here. Days will start if he’s back, but he probably won’t play as many minutes because of the depth. He Is a good offensive rebounder, but a little undersized defensively for guarding a big man. And not a great perimeter defender. Probably a starter who plays 18-20 minutes a game. If the offense morphs into an inside out game, he will do well as a stretch 4.
