OMG, you’re right! Quick! Someone please tell Dan Hurley to stop recruiting Dan Clingan immediately!
Dan,are you listening? Do not make the huge mistake of offering a scholarship to a tall, talented center! We need to be small at center. It’s much much better than being tall because well because ... because yeah because it’s just better, believe me. It is. Better. Draymond Green, yes. Patrick Ewing, no.

Get it together

I wouldn’t say polley is a shoe in to start. Besides that one game before He got injured last year, he still played pretty soft and he’s coming off that injury - might be better serviced as a microwave sharpshooter coming off the bench

really hope polley doesn’t start. Think with the athleticism on this team we can press and hound teams defensively in a way I don’t think polley is capable of.

and with his shot, he could be one of the best sharpshooting sixth man off the bench types we’ve seen in a while
 
Tyler at the 3 is a little too slow footed to play how Dan Hurley keeps saying he wants to play, Tyler at the 4 & Carlton at the 5 is an incredibly slow front court. If Polley starts at the 4, Whaley is the 5.

This whole IW is too small for the 5 is funny when Dan Hurley has said in the past and anyone with eyes could tell you IW was most effective as a small ball 5 last year
 
In Chief’s World, in the future state Sanogo is the power forward and Brown is the center.
Chief recognizes the game has changed, spread the court, hit the threes, etc. So Chief or senior Hurley’s World may not be Danny’s World.

You really need to learn how to spell Adama's last name, it's making you look like a casual fan misspelling it in every post. It's right above in the title of this thread

Agree with your observations.. Esp when combining a full court press defense with a Small Ball lineup.. Having IW or Sanogo playing at the back of the press with our athletes in front of either of them.. Taking time off the opponent's clock getting the ball upcourt and/or causing TOs.. Could be awesome.. For those Yarders concerned about our outside/3 pt shooting... Would take pressure off of that dynamic for periods of time by scoring off of our defense. Dan Hurley could almost platoon a full court press strategy with the deep bench we have.. IW/Dan Hurley/KFree all know what he brings to the table.. Not to mention mentoring the young Bigs..

With you on your WorldView re: AS/JB.. They are both athletic enough to adjust to today's style of ball.. Small Ball lineups ..For periods of time.. Might be the only exception(unless you move AS to the 5 for those lineups)..IMO.. Let Coach Mike do his thing with these young dudes and their immense potential will start shining through... KFree coaching them up can't hurt either.... All good..

Hurley mentioned on a certain call a couple weeks ago not open to the “public” that if he had to decide today, his starting lineup would be Cole, Bouk, Jackson, Whaley, Carlton.

Gaffney/Cole, Sanogo/Carlton, Tyrese/Polley/Jackson are where they seem to be going back and forth on and could change at any moment. The competition in practice is serious. Jackson is clearly impressing the staff if they see him as a starter.

Surprised by this as most have suggested there’s no way hurley plays a bigger lineup. I think hurley will be fluid with what’s best and not pigeonhole himself into a specific style.

Chief still loves the days we led the country in rebounding for 7 years.

Dont sleep on Springs as a rebounder - his issue will be improving other parts of his game to get minutes. If he gets minutes, he will get rebounds.

Hearing Springs has bounce in his legs..If you think about the NCAA ruling on winter sports eligibility for the 2020 season and its impact on RS.... Springs will be entering 2021 season with four years of eligibility left.. And still not 20 years of age.. All good

Will be interesting to see the sub patterns with this team, playing a lot of guys and guys playing multiple roles. Most difficult part for hurley, but a good problem to have
Expand ...
I'm looking forward to which newcomers can make an immediate difference on defense. That attribute will make attract Dan Hurley's attention. The depth is going to be fun for fans to watch and will push the competition for minutes.

@navery12 @husky429 I agree that what we should do is spread the floor as much as possible, but are we sure that's what Hurley will do? I feel certain that Carlton, Sanogo, Whaley, Polley, and eventually Akok will be a part of the rotation. Unless you believe Carlton is completely phased out, and Sanogo spends the year as Whaleys primary backup at the 5. Not to mention Springs hopefully shows enough to be a part of the rotation.

I can't say for sure, it certainly seems like it would be tough to spread the floor with the roster we have. But then Hurley makes comments about Polley being the perfect stretch 4 and Whaley at the 5 and it seems like that's his thinking. Phasing Carlton out seems harsh, but I just don't see where the minutes are coming from this year. Even if I we play big I have a tough time fitting Carlton in for anything more than spot minutes.

The below isn't awful if you split the minutes right, even if it limits our 2 best players by clogging the lane

PG: Cole (25), Gaffney (15)
SG: Bouknight (25), Adams (10), Jackson (5)
SF: Jackson (15), Martin (15), Polley (10)
PF: Akok (15), Whaley (15), Polley (5), Martin (5)
C: Sanogo (20), Whaley (10), Carlton (10)

Gaffney’s playing more than 15 per. He’ll get time at the 2 for sure.

Anyone know where to find the video of Sanogo in his kitchen cooking something? It was posted before he committed to us....
