Kriisa
Robinson
Chandler
Carr
Williams

How do you like them apples?

We will go 10 deep easy.

We will run Duke off the floor.

See you in the FF

I’d go
Butler
OO
Robinson
Carr
Williams

Sub in Kriisa, Chandler, and Brea when needed. I think Chandler could end up starting but it won’t matter as long as he gets his minutes.

Those are the 8 we will win with IMO. I like the depth provided by Garrison, AA, Perry, and Noah though.

I do think we have a lot of quality depth for sure.

CatFanInIlliniLand · 2024-10-19T00:21:46-0400

I love what I see with Bball IQ & Shooting.

It’s totally opposite of what I got accustomed to (and hated). Do we have athletes? I’m used to guys like Diallo, etc who can wow you in dunk contests but can’t make a pass or jump shot.

Just hoping we are athletic enough

Yeah I think that's probably my initial starting 5 as well with the chance for Brea and Chandler to disrupt that at some point.

I’d much rather have the skill, I think we have enough athletic ability to do well though.

Agree. 👍

PG-Butler/Kriisa/Perry
SG-Oweh/Chandler
SF-Robinson/Brea/Noah
PF-Carr/Almonor
C-Williams/Garrison

That's how I see it.

BlueSince92 · 2024-10-19T00:44:47-0400

Butler
Robinson
Chandler
Carr
Williams

drcats2013 · 2024-10-19T00:56:32-0400

After watching this game, I think it will be:

Butler
Oweh
Robinson
Carr
Williams

Chandler comes off the bench playing 20-25 mins and could eventually end up starting. Brea struggled, but he will play big minutes. As will Kerr. Garrison 10-15 mins. Almanor will have a game or two where he comes in and hits 3/4 threes, but don’t see a lot of play there, nor do I from Perry or Noah year one outside of cupcake games. Gonna be a fun ride.

Hank Camacho · 2024-10-19T01:03:05-0400

Jack Pilgrim said it well on the KSR Rapid Reaction -- this squad has a ton of specialists who are great at one thing and average at the rest. I think we've only got a handful of guys that have to be on the floor as much as humanly possible: Carr, Robinson, Williams, and maybe Chandler. Butler will be our PG at any important moment but I don't think he has to be on the floor down the stretch against good competition, if that distinction makes sense.

My starting five right now is

Butler
Robinson
Oweh
Carr
Williams

Bench guys in order of minutes:

Chandler
Garrison
Kriisa
Perry

I think that will be the bulk of the rotation with the other guys playing as needed based on their skillset.

You think Perry gets play over Brea? I just don’t see that year one. Love what I think Perry will be by year 3, and possibly some next year.

Yes. I think Brea is going to get lost in our wing rotation a bit and Perry will be groomed as our four year point guard. I don't think Perry is better right now than Brea in any way (the opposite actually) but looking at this roster, I see a big role for Perry and not much of one for Brea.

I'm also an idiot, so we shall see.

KAB Cats · 2024-10-19T01:18:28-0400

I doubt he starts, but it will be hard to keep Chandler off the floor I suspect

crxohio · 2024-10-19T01:19:57-0400

Perry reminds me of travis ford. So it will take time to get to that level he played at.

Don’t think you’re an idiot at all, just surprised to see that perspective. Brea looked pretty bad today, but I feel it was just an off shooting night. I don’t think he shoots 50% from 3 this year, but a good 40+ and will play 15-20 mins at minimum.

I just don’t think Perry can create his shots or defend well enough at this level year one. He’s going to be great, though. Going to be fun to see it all play out. I love the direction this program is going in.

I don’t think this is far off at all.

Will take time, but what I've seen from him tonight. That's his spot vs comparison. My fav player as of now. Is Noah

I can see it. People just have to be patient with those two. It’s there, just can’t expect it year one. Let them develop like normal freshman from the past and watch them become legends once it’s all said and done.

Odd that Perry is seen as point guard. He was the off-guard in high school.

All 3 of our freshmen are one heck of a foundation. 100% agree.
