What happens when Oscar gets in foul trouble, then what is our offense or if the other teams go to a zone. We are in trouble!
Mathew Mayer withdraws from draft
- Thread starter itsaprocess
- Start date
Wallace and Oscar are nit picking yes, but the statements are true. Everything else said is a legitimate concern
But KB averaged more points in around the same minutes, But KB shot better from the field, But KB had a better offensive rating, But KB had a better defensive rating...... those not valid arguments? "Give me smart players for a change". You know nothing about Mayer if you would classify him as a "smart player".
Of course, now post all the positives on each player. Somewhere in between is where the reasonable expectations are. If you live on either end of the spectrum, you are highly likely to be disappointed.
Each player has a list of skills that need improvement...every player in college basketball. I think we have a roster of good players as it stands. We could use another shooter or two and a quality backup to Oscar. But, which team couldn't?
He shot 40% from 3 the previous season, when Baylor won the title
That was when he shared the court with lights out guys from 3 like Butler, Davion, and Teague. Love, Davis, and Black are no where near the same threats from the outside as those Baylor dudes.
Theiro-developmental piece year 2 late year 3 could be a good dom Hawkins role
Wheeler- good play maker extremely quick runs the offense alright has limitations but would take him on the team
Toppin- great athlete, good defender, improving offensive game
Frederick- good shooter, good defender, solid piece on a team when healthy
Reeves- seems like he can score really well and create for himself haven’t seen enough to give a full take on him
Wallace- DOG, competitive fire, defense, good offensively, my question was only if he could a Number one option we will see
Oscar- can’t complain love Oscar would take him on my team every day of every year and not even think about it
Livingston- athletic, good defensive potential, questionable jump shooting could improve
Ware- hustles and plays hard
Sharpe- LOL wait never mind
Good roster with strengths but lack of clear offensive options is what scares me
Thanks to Hubert Davis and Jeff Lebo (2 of the best shooters in UNC history) the players you named all improved their 3pt % last season. Love went up 10%. Davis went up 4.4%. Black went up 11%. Even Brady Manek improved 3% to shoot a career high.
Hopefully Hubert and Lebo continue to teach the players how to be better shooters, and we continue to see improvements. If Mayer joins the team, I would expect to see him shooting closer to his junior year %.
It's also worth noting that having a big man like Bacot to collapse the defense generally results in good 3pt looks for shooters.
My bad , KB was obviously a hoops Einstein . Its those ratings . They cant be questioned . And Wheeler is a Cousy finalist too . SMH .
And then when we lose in the SEC tournament they’ll say “no big deal, 96 and 2012 lost in the SEC tournament, too!” That’s what they did this year.
Illinois lost every major player from last years' team. They've brought in 4 four-star recruits like Clark, and these two transfers, but I thought they returned more talent. The Big Ten is really setup for Indiana to take it. All the teams from last year are significantly down.
