Yeah, as hard as I’ve been on Smith, maybe it’s just a bad sophomore slump. Hoping he comes around.

It would be a shame to see that talent and athleticism not come to its full potential...Or has it??

Honestly if everything pans out like we hope I think we'll see this starting 5:
Rob
Romeo
Brooks
TJD
Hunter if healthy or Forrester

Forrester will be improved and he's gonna be a high energy guy who we'll just need to rebound and play D with that lineup. His athleticism will make him a viable option with that group as opposed to Davis.
Al, Smith, Green, Race, Forrester/Hunter, Franklin off the bench. I really expect Moore to transfer after this year. I think he's wasting his time here and could go play major minutes at a mid major.

Dude, Romeo is not coming back! Funny, haven't heard the rumor this is how we recruited TJD and Brooks. Seriously doubt the staff would sell them this.

I would think it is the opposite and that we’re recruiting Brooks to fill Romeo’s spot. 90% of the fan base realizes Romeo isn’t coming back. At least I would hope so

I know a lot of people are not really high on McRoberts, but that diving play in the first half against Northwestern for example. Who in your opinions becomes the guy next year that makes those kinds of high energy plays and scraps like he willing to do?

I see Al and RP as being scrappy and even more so as upper classmen

Brooks

Hunter (hopefully) healthy and back to full potential

TJD

DD

Really curious as to why you have Durham ahead of RP and Green as a point guard, or was it not in depth chart order?

But he’s not a point guard, and currently isn’t playing point guard ahead of either of those guys.

Wasn’t really in order. Whichever of the three separate. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

 

“When you have 3 QBs/PGs you don’t actually have 1”.

 

Something to that effect. They all have potential.

 

Durham is playing better and shooting better but forces drives/plays, isnt a natural passer/playmaker.

 

Phinisee is the most trustworthy decision maker but doesn’t make a lot of special plays and isn’t a trustworthy shooter as of yet. Bright future, just not sure when.

 

Green, I still like the best in some ways because his ceiling seems high as a PG. but man, he sometimes is the most brain dead player on the roster. Like JR Smith type stuff.

Gotcha, thanks for explaining. My opinion, but I don’t even consider Durham a point guard.

Honestly, when this becomes Phinisee's team and the culture continues to shift this will be the norm. We won't be pointing to a single player as the energy or hustle guy. They all need to do it.

Phinisee will make plenty of special plays; and he's already made some (dump pass to Smith for the dunk, for example).   He's clearly playing a very conservative style now; but he's got plenty of special.   Kid has a 2:1 A/TO ratio, which is better than we've had at that position in a while.   For the record, Green's ratio is 1.1: 1 for his career.

Phinisee shooting 47% from the floor.  Green 35%.   (39% for his career) And Green is 1-12 from three point land this season..Phinisee 5-15.  I'm really looking for a high ceiling in Green; but I just don't see it.  2 years and another 1/4th of a season in, Green is selfish, out of control, and very, very dumb sometimes (see the play yesterday when he made a great defensive play for a steal, and it looked like he thought "okay, I got it, now I get to shoot it," taking it to 3 players and turning it right back over.  I promise not one person here was surprised.).

Let's be fair...Phinisee has taken it to the rim 1 on 3 a number of times too.  Same for Al.  I don't like it, but Archie must.  If he didn't,  he wouldn't let it happen so often.
