2016-17 2 Deep?

[ScottyIce]

What is your best guesses on a 2 deep for 2016 if White returns?

 

PG - Watson - Webster

SG - Gill - Roby

SF - White - McVeigh

PF - Morrow - Horne

C - Tshimanga - Jacobson

 

That looks like a pretty exciting team. Losing White would make it quite a bit less exciting.

If Jordy is half as good as we hope, this should be a fun team to watch. Probably some growing pains early but maybe by the 2nd half of the season they could be a team to contend. I'm ready to see some good basketball from this team.

[Roger Dorn]

So don't we still have one scholarship open with Evelyn and Hammond leaving? Any guesses on where we might try and go with that?

I'd have Jacobson starting at PF over Morrow but otherwise I agree with your 2-deep.

Just depends how much Jacobson grows. When he was recruited, they thought that he might be 6/10 before he graduated.

Here is how I see it:

Game 1

1- Watson/Gill

2. Webster/Gill/Roby

3. White/ McVeigh/Roby

4. Morrow/Fuller/Horne

5. Jacobson/Jordy

B1G Ten opener

1- Watson/Webster

2- Gill/Webster

3- White/Roby/McVeigh

4- Morrow/Horne/Fuller

5- Jordy/Jacobson/Morrow

NCAA Tourney Game 1

So don't we still have one scholarship open with Evelyn and Hammond leaving? Any guesses on where we might try and go with that?

Yes- One Scholarship open that i would expect we will fill with a grad transfer or regular transfer.

Any rumors on what players that we might be targeting?

None that I have heard.

 

It has been REALLY quiet in regards to rumors/names.

 

I honestly think the staff was waiting on Jordy.

 

No idea if they go for a 5 or a backup PG.... Not sure if they even use the scholarship... not sure.

1- Watson/Gill

3. Webster/McVeigh

1- Watson/Gill

3. Webster/McVeigh

4. Jacobson/Morrow/Fuller

5. Jordy/Morrow

 

I dont know if Webster is the ideal 3 candidate but if White is gone, i guess i could see them run a bit of Watson/Gill/Webster.

 

I think it would be a mistake to play Morrow at the 5. He needs to be a 4 and they need to allow Jacobson/Jordy play the 5.

I think right now all signs point to White being gone. As such, I see a smaller back court with Watson, Gill and Webster (I don't think you can keep Webster on coming off the bench as a Senior in favor of McVeigh). Also, I see a rotation of Jacobson, Morrow, Jordy with Fuller grabbing a few minutes here and there. With the contribution that Jacobson gave on the boards last year I don't see Morrow starting over him but we will see.

What signs are you reading?

 

I am fairly certain he will be back. I just dont think he will get drafted at this point and can help his draft stock by coming back.

 

Webster isnt a 3 in my opinion. I think he starts but it would be at the 2 with Gill getting the nod shortly after.

 

Webster has no problem coming off the bench from what i have seen and McVeigh is a more traditional 3.

 

Wait and see but with the lack of a true backup PG, Webster will have to play some 1 off the bench and doubt they have him play the 1,2 and 3.

By all means I would love for him to come back but the fact he most likely will not be drafted still leaves him possibilities to be signed, the D league and Europe as noted before. The fact he has graduated is another factor weighing against him returning.

 

I agree Webster isn't a natural 3 but it is not unheard of to put two point guards on the court at the same time. In fact, we saw a lot of Parker/Watson and Watson/Webster combos later in the year last year. I guess I should have clarified I think the starting line up will be Watson, Webster, Gill, Jacobson and Jordy. With Morrow and Fuller the first two off the bench and Webster spelling Watson and getting time as the main point.
