Bummed about Goldwire. Definitely need another PG. Jarod showed this year that in a pinch he can fill in at PG some as well. Don't know if Malone-Key has played much PG, probably more of a SG but maybe he could fill some minutes in there as well. I think we'll be OK, but agree you can never have too many guys who can handle and pass the rock. Hunt, Davis and Jarod can fill in. We should be OK at the point. Would like to see another wing. |

Hope they work on ball handling bringing the ball up. Without E that was an adventure I don’t care to see much more of! |

Without E that was an adventure I don’t care to see much more of! I held my breath with E; he would often wait for the double-teams and be forced into some bad decisions. I felt most comfortable with Hunt against the press, as he was too quick for double-teams to track him down; it was his decisions after gaining speed that could cause problems. |

This may have been mentioned before, but I believe that Covid-19 is a major factor for the increase of transfers. I wonder what the percentage of transfers that want to move closer to home, since the athletes were not allowed to see family and friends during the season. In addition, due to covid-19 restrictions, the kids are not likely to get the college experience they normally would, which may cause a kid to develop a sour taste about the school and move to "greener pastures."
I totally agree there are other major factors such as the "AAU culture" where kids just switch teams when they are unhappy. Playing time, coaching change, change of scenery, another college willing to pay more. Lol ( but probably true Az. UofO)

Agreed. Looks like Davis might be up to the task. See who else they bring in. Missed in Goldwire from Duke. Saw we’re in final 3 for Kopp from Northwestern, though he’s more a 3. Missed on Kopp. He chose Indiana. |

I hope we aren't counting on Lucas to fill in at PG. We need that guy running off screens and draining 3's. Pretty much need Malone-Key or Davis to have the ability to bring the rock up the court, because right now I count one true PG on this team. And he's not exactly a finished product. |

Agree on Lucas' role, but we need to bring in a bigger PG if that's the case, as Hunt and Lucas on the floor is a bad defensive matchup against teams with bigger guards. |

Agree on Lucas' role, but we need to bring in a bigger PG if that's the case, as Hunt and Lucas on the floor is a bad defensive matchup against teams with bigger guards. I look for Hunt and Lucas to be a much better defensive tandem next season with a full off-season to work on things, especially together. Both improved greatly the last half of the season. Lucas started to remind me a bit of Bobby Gross of the Blazers back in the day; never stopped moving in the offensive rotation til he was in position to shoot and his defense was a lot better. Hunt was starting to get his speed vs. went to slow down decision process together, and with his speed, he could develop a commanding defensive presence against any point guard. Thompson is really going to be missed, but we have some interesting things to look forward to. |
