That isn't plenty. You don't have to pencil Sisley in for anything, I'm going to for 12-18 a night. 

14-18mpg--- that's on average. When Samet, Sherrell both play 32-33 mins in the big games... that number drops drastically. 

Samet 29

Sherrell 27

Sisley 15

 

That leaves 9 mins..

By big games I assume you mean conference games? There is no way Samet and Sherrell both average 32-33 mpg in the B10. None. Sherrell averaged 24 a game at Bama last year and Samet 28. A foul prone Samet going from the ACC to the B10 is going to average closer to 25 a game than 32-33. You can pencil Sisley in for 15, that's fine. He has to earn that. Nothing of what he showed last year is worth guaranteeing him that.

average.. I don't think they average it. But it'll happen some. The next big guy we sign will know that. 

I have no idea what you mean with the bolded. They've not really prioritized another 4, I'd say that's pretty telling on how they feel about Trent. He won't "earn it" in games, it'll be the work he's done in the offseason/and in the weight room.

Team needs a tweener 4/5 that can play 15 mpg minimum, those minutes are there. That is the teams top priority. If Sisley cuts into his minutes, great, but you need front court depth. After Samet and Sherrell you have two other frontcourt players; one who couldn't crack the rotation at the end of the year on an 18-14 team and a reclass who physically is probably a year or two away. Not getting a serviceable big off the bench drastically lowers the teams ceiling.

I can for sure see a need for another 5 AND another 4, and as you mentioned for depth.. I don't think a guard will play much at all, if signed.

Ok? 15+ mpg for a backup big is plenty to sell. You keep saying otherwise.

Idk? Read the thread, look at twitter, check HSN.... Page was one that stuck out to me--- as in, "no way we have a role for him"... although a different position from a true big, but someone that can play the 4 a little... Cade Tyson was mentioned.

Oh, so fan speculation lol? Got it.

Samet and Lindsay weren't mentioned anywhere before either popped out of the blue.

I don't even know what you're saying anymore? We don't have room for a 15+ minute per game big off the bench because the names anonymous posters are throwing around on message boards are too big for the perceived role? That seems different from you previously stating that we don't have hardly any minutes to sell.

Honestly, it doesn't really surprise me you seem confused by a pretty simple subject. We have little minutes left to sell, which is why names that have been thrown around are silly, thus far, most of them, anyways. I pray you are no longer confused.

10-10 is decidedly average, not sure what else to tell you.

I'm not wrong. You said Stirtz/McCollum were going to be a problem for the B10. They went 10-10 and lost to Penn State and Maryland, the two worst teams in the conference. They weren't close to contending in the B10 this year, they were .500. They finished exactly one game ahead of us, with a much easier schedule....and we were not good at all. A fluke tournament run doesn't change any of that.
