lillurk Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Roster construction probably makes it easier to put JG at the 3 some on this squad. The guards who figure to get the bulk of the minutes are average-or-better handlers for their position, and some of the other forwards are pretty good too. So you can put him out there, say, with the starters, in Kopp’s spot. He can catch-and-shoot, run the baseline for dunks and Orebs, rebound on D…doesn’t have to be a playmaker. thebigweave, HoosierHoopster, Stuhoo and 1 other 4 Quote
Southside Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Overall... lots of positives. Aside of XJ's meh game, good stuff. But we should expect "good" vs this opponent. Assuming performances continue, depth will be a plus this year. Quote

HoosierAloha Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Race at the 3...? Why? We want to create space and pace not add another player to clog the lane. Ideally, we would have a 3 that could catch and shoot, beat his man off the dribble, and create for others while being able to defend multiple positions. Race at the 3 shouldn't happen with this roster. BGleas, 94Bulldog and Stuhoo 3 Quote

Race at the 3 shouldn't happen with this roster. It's like anytime a big man hits a 3 and/or gets a board and pushes it in transition, everyone wants to make them a wing. Race's advantage is that he can do those things as a big and against other bigs. DChoosier, cthomas, lillurk and 4 others 7 Quote

JG has a long way to go before he's better at the 3 than the 4 too. lillurk, BGleas and IU Scott 2 1 Quote

To be clear, I think JG is a really strong defender as a 4 when defending bigs, he struggles to defend on the perimeter against guards/wings on switches. DougWil, CSP, lillurk and 1 other 4 Quote
