What are your expectations for the 2015-16 season?

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I expect us with a third place finish in conference, and a sweet sixteen placing. If our perimeter defense is no better, Bryant will be consistent foul trouble. We have the same defenders on the perimeter, so I do not see vast improvement.

I hope that's not the thought process. If it is, we basically have a coach saying getting guys to the NBA is more important than winning.

JBJ did brand himself on Twitter as a 6'4 point guard. Maybe this move is to help his NBA stock and let Yogi play off the ball as more of a scorer. I guess that's the thought process behind that...

Just throwing ideas out. Maybe JBJ's ball handling has significantly improved. I do think Yogi plays off the ball very well, but he's our best handler so I'd like to keep him at PG personally.

Helping getting guys ready for the NBA can help for recruiting. But I'd say that JBJ handling the ball is the least of our worries. I'd rather have JBJ handling PG duties over RJ right now anyways.

No room at UK and Creans promise to let JBJ handle the ball is most likely why he is here. I will be interesting. Dude is wired to score not dish. Hope it works out better than the Jeremy Hollowell Experiment at point.

Yea, lets have our 5 star pure point guard and our 5 star pure shooter switch positions. Bet we see Yogi in the post as well.

Yogi is the only player I can remember watching who caused a Rick Pitino team to abandon their press and sprint back down the floor, after Yogi caught the inbounds pass. He is literally a one man press break. Can anyone point out one single time where Yogi succumbed to pressure behind the 10 second line? I cant think of one time in his career. On the other hand, I still have nightmares about the number of times Jordan Hulls turned the ball over from full court pressure.

Or possibly the first player off the bench.

Thing is, everyone knows our weaknesses. Defensive fundamentals and half court sets is all I am running. Maybe some rebounding drills as well.

Or VJ3. Good grief. I remember very well when we were longing for that pure point. We have it. Let him do his thang.

Yep, but do we have anyone on the staff who can coach up those weaknesses?

[Yogi'sBicep 1,048]

Bielfedt will be the defensive key when TB comes off the floor, can he play high level D is the ? For me. Don't need him to score, just be a basketball player.

Haven't posted in a while so i figured i should give my 2 cents on how we will be this up-coming year.

 

First off, our starting line up is...

 

Yogi

James

Troy

Collin

Thomas

 

 

I believe this line up will make our run n gun offense a breeze. We will have shooters, rebounders, and players who can play D.

 

If all goes well with no injuries and CTC stepping up his coaching.. i believe we should AT LEAST be a sweet 16 team.

 

It all depends on Troy and James. We go as they go this year.
