Alvaro can play the 5 and Mouhamed can play the 4 at the same time. Their games actually compliment each other well.
After getting Dioubate, if we still can get alvaro
- Thread starter chasingwildcat
- Start date
Think they add a shooter like Yates or somebody in that mold now, and a project big or Alvaro if they can convince him of a role here
Dude! I've heard of double, but TRIPLE penetration?!
Yeah I'll take either. Just don't want to lose out on both tbh
Agree, or go find somebody else who can shoot
Taylor Bol Bowen that will start at PF or C for Alabama is 195.
I'm not here to tell you Williams is a PF as his primary position. But he could certainly take the backup minutes.
I believe Coach Pope LOVES to run a 5 out offense. Then use his mismatches on the perimeter to wear the opponent out. I just Hope Moreno is tough enough to play significant minutes, because Williams is more of a 3 than a 4, but can play that.
He still can very easily be Washington bound man. His cousin is still most likely gonna be coaching there. Thats just what pilgrim said.
The facts are in your posting history. Sorrow and hate.
We had 12 and thought we'd be super deep and before you knew it we had games with 8-9 available. Add foul trouble in the SEC and I think you have to have 13. We need a stretch 4 and a top guard. We really need 2 studs to finish out the roster to feel better than last year.
When healthy, all the way healthy, Butler, Williams, Carr, Brea and Robinson are a lot to replace. Remember when healthy and beating teams like Dook, Zags and FL, these guys were dam good. I think it gets a little lost because of how many injuries one after the next and this group not getting to play as a full unit all that much.
If we want to be next level better than this year we need to finish with 2 cant miss studs.

Robinson was 6’7, 190-ish and played some 4 at BYU for Pope. Not saying we don’t need another PF, but it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to see Pope play an undersized guy at the 4. Heck, he played Noah at the 4 at times this past season when Carr was out.
I agree. We need a big and a shooter. Starting to become hard to see how a legitimate player at either spot would come to UK with 10+ other guys already here.
You’ve questioned everything that is possible to question so yeah I’m sure it is hard for you to see.
Mathematically, I’ve found that rim protection has been less important in recent years. Need to be able to generate steals, though, unless you play amazing first shot D and rebound every miss.
A rim protector can cover a lot of defensive mistakes and deficiencies. Players are better with the ball than that era. JMHO.
Lord I hope not. We are missing a big for sure. Must expect Garrison to make BIG strides.
Doesn't have to block shots, just make it harder on the driver to make them. But, if you don't have a good rotation, giving up rebounds because you try to block shots can KILL you.
We need more shooting, too. I really hope this commit doesn’t push AF somewhere else. Idk where the spacing is gonna come from based on what we have right now. That’s not ideal when your offensive system is dependent on perimeter shooting. Kam Williams, Chandler, Oweh & unproven FR aren’t close to enough.
We desperately need a stretch 4/5. I like Dioubate, but, not as the starting 4 in this offense. It would be different if he was surrounded by shooters. But, that’s not the case as the roster currently stands. If we can still land AF or another stretch big then l LOVE this pickup. But, if he’s gonna be playing 25+ mpg at the 4, then idk wtf we are doing.
I love Pope & haven’t made one complaint about anything he’s done up to this point. But, I have to say, I’m not loving the portal adds, so far, this cycle. Not in this offense. Hopefully, the last cpl additions will be proven, consistent shooters who are more than role players. We have 11 role players now & don’t need another one. Pope seriously needs to close it out with a cpl studs.
Only a lineup with likes of Curry, Olajuwon, Jordan, Bird, and Duncan might be able to meet your standards.
Yeah I’d like to get Alvaro and someone like Yates/Pierre/Jackson type wing.
If true, means that Williams and Noah will figure into the rotation at the 4. That’s the only way it could work, IMHO.
Let’s say we get Yates (just as place holder, might be Pierre):
PG Lowe/Lewis/Perry
SG Yates/Johnson
SF Oweh/Chandler
PF Dioubate/Williams/Noah
C Garrison/Moreno
Pg-Lowe 6-3 175 jr/lewis 6-3 175 fr/perry 6-1 188 so
Sg-Johnson 6-4 185 fr/chandler 6-5 202 so
W-oweh 6-4 215 sr/noah 6-5 220 so
F-Dioubate 6-7 215 jr/kam 6-8 190 so
C-garrison 6-10 250 jr/moreno 7-0 245 fr
That’s what pope is probably tho right now that we’re 2 deep at every position get another f and c.
Sg-Johnson 6-4 185 fr/chandler 6-5 202 so
W-oweh 6-4 215 sr/noah 6-5 220 so
F-Dioubate 6-7 215 jr/kam 6-8 190 so

What a dumbass comment. Yeah, asking for a cpl guys to be more than role players means I demand 5 All-Americans in the starting lineup. Some of you just can not handle the slightest criticism. Either that or you have the reading comprehension of a fuc*ing doorknob.
I'd figure Lowe and Lewis would be holding down the point but I guess they may spend a few minutes on the floor together.
Alvaro averaged just over 29 min a game last year at RMU. He would have to realize transferring to a P5 school that his minutes per game would go down. Pope doesn't like to play anyone over 20-25 min a game anyways. Of course Avaro and Dioubate could/would split minutes at the 4.
