Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3152368, member: 489"] All depends and why?: Sid - does he use the summer to improve in many areas. Key areas to improve are shooting, ball handling and defense. Defense is will and understanding so if he wants to he will to a point. If he understands the game he can be a really good defender - jury is out there. Shooting? I think he could become a decent shooter but he needs to calm down not rush as well as grab some air on his arc. Handle the ball to get to the rim, he's not awful but needs to get stronger to enable no strips to the rim. Also tougher, rebound the ball and box out more. Will he do all of this or even a nice % - one would hope and he could be in the line up. Polley - He made a nice jump from first to second year. We know he can shoot it, we know he has nice length and despite what many think here he was better at D, not great but solid aghast those he matches up with better. Not against the 4's, strong ones or real quick 3s. Needs to get quicker, lower to the ground and use his length more. Stronger and rebounding will be huge to start and get more minutes. Needs to average at lest 5-6 boards and it's not at all too much to ask. Bouk - Gut feeling is at some point this kid may be our 3 this year. Don't ask why just see some of a few guys in his game that will enable him to overcome the inexperience. But heck it's only video so I could be completely off on this. I see some Rip, some Lamb, some Ben he has some skills which will help him score for sure. Thing is he's a freshman so he will find the game to be faster so can he defend and grab some rebounds to add to offensive prowess? Lots to answer here but the one thing for sure is at times you can throw away the "3" or others as sometimes you will see a couple of these guys on the floor at the same time anyway. It's just going to be the way 2019-20 is going to play out unless we get some splash of a commit soon. Interesting topic, the hope is all 3 come ready in September to compete. Thats a good thing.
