I wasn't addressing anything to do with Ross. You lumped DePriest in with Caastle as examples of players that were lockdown defenders but also brought good offense along with it. Lyman did not. Not trying to knock DePriest, he was great at what he was in there to do but he didn't belong in the...

I love what Lyman brought to the team but let's not romanticize it "too" much. He had no offensive game beyond the occasional offesnive rebound and put back. In four years I think I remember him making 1 3-pointer. He was in there for one reason only and it wasn't to try and do anything on offense.

OOOOO

- Koroma and Milledner looked like serviceable emergency options at center and point guard respectively. - Ball took it to the rim successfully three times I think. That was encouraging to see. - Our point guard play is going to be signficantly upgraded this season and I feel comfortable...

I’m not sure there is such thing as a “must get” anymore with the portal. But he and Mingo sure would make it a nice class.

Raleigh, for all the reasons already mentioned. Also, Judge is surrounded by a bunch of high-priced talent.

IIRC, Samuels made some comments in an interview about UConn being hard, practices are hard, Hurley is a hard coach. And then saying he wanted to be given room to make mistakes and play through them. The resulting collective vibe here seemed to be that he might not be a good cultural fit...

When I walk down the street I want people to say, there goes Roy Hobbs, the best there ever was.

I thought Samson was very good at the high hedge in many regards. Maybe most importantly, that he was quick enough to get back onto his guy in the paint before anything bad could happen. His issue, however, was fouling while hedging. I don't know if anyone cares to look ( I sure don't) but it...

"Ball in hand"? In England they call that a wanker. This term could rival "reach around bandit" for infamy.

No Providence, no credibility.

I'm hoping to see Ball score in ways beyond just 3-pointers. It would probably help him if he could keep defenders honest by getting to the rim here and there.
