Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4728395, member: 1609"] Here my preseason comparisons of last years NC team vs this coming season 2022-23 preseason evaluation : We had three in system veterans 5 Sanogo was going to be good for 28/30 minutues Filling the voids or foul trouble and we were talking Richie Spring as a Backup. Clingan was an unknown who became a huge force 2/3 We knew Hawkins was a great shooter but injuries kept him off the floor as a freshman so health was another ? Jackson we knew his skill set and defense would keep him in the line up but fitting in on offense with his shooting created another ? 4 We thought it would be Johnson another injury prone guy with very few minutes experience. Back up by a red-Shirt freshman who we heard could shoot but he was a freshman. Another ? We lost our PG Cole and went to the portal to get a big combo guard who we knew was good . But coming in as outsider for a potential lead guard is not an easy thing to do Totally different system plus you have to be a leader on the floor . It took him awhile but he eventually and almost invisibly became that leader We went.to the portal and got some seasoned guys with burn in good conferences . But looking more like solid subs than spectacular The Backup 5 , Karaban and the Benches ability to score helped that team make a quantum leap . 2023-24 Backup minutes at the 5 again a huge ? How many effective minutes from Clingan Can Spencer be the missing shooter to at least minimize the loss of Hawkins How will Johnson evolve and where will he be the most effective Newton should be in a better position to anchor the team Karaban is a keeper the key to how far we go is how quickly the freshman can get up to speed Diarra’s experience will be huge Really most questions arise about our Bench . The starting team really has less questions than last year but this years bench lacking the experience of last year is more of a question mark. The fun thing about college BB is to watch the growth , wztch who steps up to answer the ? . [/QUOTE]
