Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 5280832, member: 12147"] We don’t even know if Jaylin will be starting, so relying our offense on his ability to score in isolation or to initiate would be risky Last year we had 2 guys that could just take the ball and try to get a bucket. Diarra (injured and playing out of role) and Liam (playing out of role) Enter Silas Demary. An upperclassman double digit scoring PG from a high major program that hung 20+ points on 4 different tournament teams to end the season. Scoring is his job I expect moderate improvement from Solo Ball. As the season went on, he became automatic in the midrange after getting run off the line. The next step is to finish closer to the hoop to give us another perimeter scorer Also enter Tarris Reed. If the perimeter isn’t working, just drop it to him in the paint. He will go get a bucket. There were 7 games where he played 25+ minutes last year, and he averaged 17 PPG in those games. Last year we had no pressure release if the guards and forwards couldn’t make it work. Now we have a BE 1st team caliber C Karaban can go back to his natural role closer to 2024. Braylon will be a shooter obviously. This leaves Stewart plugging the holes of whatever is missing. Some games it will be defense and rebounding, some games cutting and finishing, some games being a floor spacer [/QUOTE]
