I know this season is still going on but wanted to start this thread since I think it is pretty interesting discussion:
Starting 5:
1. Watson (6'0 174)
2. Palmer (6'6 213)
3. Roby (6'8 214)
4. Morrow (6'7 234)
5. Tshimanga (6'11 275)
Rotation guys:
Guards:
Taylor (6'5 206)
Gill (6'3 195)
Wings:
Horne (6'7 222)
McVeigh (6'8 215)
Bigs:
Copeland (6'9 220)
Jacobson (6'9 239)
Quick observations:
- I know that Akenten is supposed to be a dead eye shooter but man it is going to be tough for him to crack the rotation IMO. I think if he is going to take minutes from anyone, it is going to be Gill or McVeigh as I wasn't all that impressed with Gill when he was a part of the rotation this year and McVeigh has yet to show he can be consistent enough to count on in a night in night out basis.
- I don't know that Fuller will be back here next year despite having a year left to play. I would think Miles would encourage him to Graduate Transfer and pursue signing another ball handler or a wing that could also play as a stretch big if needed (Edward Chang- looking at you).
- I really really think we need to find another ball handler to come off the bench. We will finally have enough size to truly compete in this conference but I worry that we won't have anyone besides Watson to bring the ball up the floor. (Taylor? Gill?)
- I'm looking for a big jump from Isaiah Roby both physically and mentally. We need this kid to step it up.
- I think Horne also has potential to be a really really special player if he figures it out and becomes more consistent.
- Not sure what to expect from Palmer but he has the size and is supposedly a knock down 3 point shooter. We really need that.
- Hopefully Copeland can play the full season.
- I don't know what to do with our bigs. Jacobson probably helps us spread the floor better but Tshimanga makes us a much better rebounding team/bigger. Curious to see which direction Miles goes.
Overall, I think this team could be really special. This has the look and feel of a NCAA tournament type team. If Tim fails to make the dance with this bunch, I think it is probably safe to say he will be on his way out.
