Charlotte was.....
15-2 with Mayfield
6-10 after Mayfield was expelled
and many of those were massive blowouts.
Quote:Tough wing Shawn Lester will finally suit up for the 49ers after being academically ineligible. He is a big time scorer who can be dangerous from everywhere on the floor. If Lester does not begin the year in the starting five, he will at least make a big impact off of the bench.
Your biggest immediate impact player and who they Project as a starter hasn't played organized basketball in a year as an NQ and shot these percentages
37% from FG
26% from 3
52% from the line
in a low level high school conference, his senior year. This is who they project to replace Mayfield.
Quote: Ben Cherry has much more experience after spending the last three seasons at Tulane. Cherry is a decent outside shooter and should immediately fill that role. On a team that made a mere 3.5 three-pointers game and shot a horrendous 26.8 percent from beyond the arc, Cherry is a very welcomed addition.
This guy was a walk on at Tulane that was a back up on a sorry team. Shoots fairly well but who's he play over to make it count?
Quote:Cameron Blakely and Marcus Bryan will provide depth in the frontcourt. Blakely is deceptively nimble for a 6-8 forward and his versatility gives Coach Major some rotational options depending on the size of the competition.
Dude looks toothpick skinny and he will have to play regardless if he is ready with the lack of depth
Quote:Bryan is a late addition to the program, but he was a great pickup for the program. Bryan was an amazing scorer and rebounder in the prep ranks. At this level he may not be able to score too much, but he can rebound and play solid defense.
I'm not going to hate on this guy, he probably will saved your season from disaster getting him, and he does look like he's strong enough to help this year.
I don't see where you improved at all though. Your team still can't really shoot at least not the ones Major will play. They were 342nd out of 345. You got it in the paint last year, and Braswell, Mayfield, Thompson, and Clark were a big part of setting the physical tone in the paint which was most of your game. I don't see guys like Blakey being able to replace that and you have no big wing to defend like Nickerson could at 6-7. Your tallest wing is 6-4.
