Massive Understatement I hopeKid is gonna be good.
He looks a tad bouncier than he did during his final season. He should the strength coaches most important assignment.
Kid is gonna be good.
He wants to be Jokic lol. I think patience is going to make or break him. He's got too much competition in front this season to expect any play time, and he honestly needs to continue developing everything you just pointed out. He could dominate in 2 years, but we can't expect much out of the gate.So true. He has great size, decent touch and crazy wingspan. Athleticism and stamina will need to be developed over the next year for him to reach his potential. Shot looks decent too
I would imagine practicing 5 dribble mid-range fadeaways isn't going to be something he'll be practicing here. Kind of a waste of his time tbh. Kid needs a post move, counter, rim running ability, and hopefully a serviceable jumper. At his size that could make him dominant. He's probably the tallest player in the NBE.

i'd like Javonte Brown Ferguson to red-shirt too, but that's primarily because it would mean martin got a waiver. if martin doesn't get a waiver how can we go into the season with 10 healthy players?I expect a redshirt. He was young for the 2021 class to begin with.
Polley and Akok should be healthy pretty early in the season, and it's not like he would contribute more than 5 fouls against worthy competition anyways.

it wouldnt make a difference to me if martin was a PG nevermind a F. my point is that going into the season with only 10 healthy bodies is a big handicap, look what happened last year. didnt we start with 11 guys and end up with 7?I don't see how one effects the other.
The thing is you don't have to declare him a redshirt in October and live with the consequences. If it gets to February and we're down to 9 players, you play Javonte and burn the redshirt yearit wouldnt make a difference to me if martin was a PG nevermind a F. my point is that going into the season with only 10 healthy bodies is a big handicap, look what happened last year. didnt we start with 11 guys and end up with 7?
Ike Obiagu Seton Hall 7'2So true. He has great size, decent touch and crazy wingspan. Athleticism and stamina will need to be developed over the next year for him to reach his potential. Shot looks decent too

A whole lot to like here.

Same reason Richie Springs reclassed and redshirted last year (although there's certainly differing views on when that was known. Get him into the program and you get to work with him to build up the strength over relying on someone else to do it.He looks very good. More skilled than I expected at his size. Very interesting.
No idea why people are talking about redshirting him. If that was going to happen why would he have reclassed. I think Whaley is our starting 4 unless Akok comes back better than expected. I assume Josh and Sanogo will consume most of the minutes at the 5, and Javonte Brown Ferguson will play sparingly. PF is plenty deep, and that's with Polley mostly playing as a 3. Whaley, Springs, Akok when available and Polley as needed. Polley is supposed to ready by the start of the season.
This whole team is crazy deep at every spot but SG.
