Mullins is by far away much better offensively than Stewart. We’ll see about his defense. He’s starting
I think Mullins would start ahead of Ross in that lineup. What does Ross really bring to us in a starting line-up? I see him as an energy guy off the bench. I rather we pick up 4 who can hit 3's at a good clip if Karaban doesn't come back.
Offensively Mullins hasn't proven anything yet and he looked a little overmatched in the McDonald's all star game but not as bad as our other freshmen. He does look like he will be the better shooter but Stewart did hit 36.5% from 3 this year. Stewart didn't come back to not start.
Silas is going to give us a lot of versatility in how we can play, it's why getting such a big strong point guard was so important. It will give us the ability to play smaller. I agree Jaylin will start. Our best players are going to play, whether it's starting or 6th man Mullins is going to get at least 25 minutes per game. He's elite.
I'm not sold on Mullins yet as being elite as a freshmen. I think he will have a year similar to Hawkins were he will need to adjust to the speed and strength of the college game. He will get minutes for sure and I think he is the only Freshman that will have a real impact outside of maybe Furphy who is an unknown. Mullins isn't as good as McNeeley coming in for sure.
We'll see. Stew needs a big breakout season. Needs to be a dependable scorer- particularly in the second half of games. He needs to be able to finish emphatically at basket unlike Karaban and LM. Mullins needs to be a Spencer, Hawkins, Joey Cal with his outside shot. Can't afford to be an Karaban, Mahaney or an LM throwing up bricks far too often.
Agree. Heck, LM wasn't as good as the LM who some believe is a lottery pick or at least a sure first round pick. Need reliable outside shooting, something that vanished from AK's game and LM second have of the season.
Ross? That is a weird take. The same player who didn't do much as a Sophmore? I think we get another transfer in at the 3 or 4 depending on where Hurley see Stewart starting and Ross can at best be the 7th man as I think Mullins will be the first off the bench due to his shooting.
lol McNeeley is a lottery pick based on most of the mocks and 100% a first round pick.
how does Ross start when he barely played?
Yeah, we disagree on pretty much all of this which is fine. Mullins is a better prospect than Hawkins. #15 ranked recruit in one of the most stacked classes ever, Hawkins was ranked #55.
I like to hear that.
Again I never said he wouldn't have an impact. I still think he compares to Hawkins game more than any recent player and that isn't a bad thing. Remember Hawkins had issues with concussions and thus stunted his Freshmen year. He broke out as a Sophmore but wasn't unexpected after some great early season games like Auburn his Freshmen year. I just think Stewart is our starting SF with Mullins as our 6th man off the bench for instant offense. Of course that is all dependent on on Karaban staying or us getting a PF who shoot from the outside at a decent rate in the transfer portal. If not I can see Mullins at the 3 and Stew at the 4 but no universe do I see us starting Ross at the 3 as one poster noted.
Who are these guys Steward and Red? They sound awesome.
I never said you did. You don't think Reibe will have a real impact. I think he will and I commented on that.
We have 2 national titles because we had a second unit. I think Hurley is going to try for that again but remember that it’s harder to do with players jumping to not be on a second unit.
Really? We shall see.
They are gud.
