Watts and Baxter will probably end up losing minutes once Javien adjusts to the college game. Lavender will likely take all of Robert's minutes.

Watts is a backup PG he would lose minutes to Norton if Norton keeps improving.

Is that an actual admission by you that Norton has improved?

If Lavender is better than Dirk, he's going to be a great addition. I've been thinking that Dirk will get Brown's minutes, imho

I think Dirk eventually plays the majority of the minutes at shooting guard this year. I thought it would happen at the start of the year, but Baxter seems to have a hold on the spot.

My thought is that next year, both Dirk and Lavender start on the wings. I believe Lavender played some point previously, so that's why I said Watts and Baxter would lose minutes. Also, I view Javien as a combo guard, so again, less minutes for Watts and Baxter. I'm probably wrong.

No.

What's it going to take for that to happen?

It won't ever happen. Norton was better LAST year on a per possession basis than Chad was in his only season. Since the inverse was always Dee's argument, NN will never measure up.

http://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/play...ier-1.html

Chad had a 103.3 offensive rating and a 103.8 defense rating.

Nick had a 113.8 offensive rating and a 103.1 defensive rating.

Per 100 possessions.

Nick is running 5.8 assists to turnover ratio. That's damn good from a true PG.

One averaged 18 points his career here lol.

And the other took care of the basketball.

They both have basically the same numbers, one might have played a harder schedule, and produce an 18-13 record.

and their laptop.

I said before he played a minute that he would be a four year starter and break some records. I think he has a good shot at that. MB could tell us where he stands but I am damn grateful to have him.
