Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3496160, member: 6034"] "Hangover" would not be word I'd choose, but, you're right, the team will be very different and certainly not as successful for the next season at least. For one thing, given the availability of two bigs who have been sitting on the bench this year (as well as Ionescu's absence) the pick and roll that has been a staple of the Oregon offense for some time now may take a back seat to what Graves calls "power" basketball featuring Sedona Prince (6'7") and Nyara Sablly (6'5"), both of whom he predicts will be high first round draft picks once their college careers are over. (Prince had been practicing full speed since January and in a recent interview he attributed Hebard's surge toward the end of last season to having to go up against her on a daily basis; he's also said that he planned to use NS, finally healed, in this year's tournament.) What this will actually mean remains to be seen of course. But it's possible the team this coming season will be closer to what we've seen from Baylor than to the Oregon teams of the past several years. [/QUOTE]
