Bishop is better than Chandler Lawson.. He brings 11 points, 6 rebounds, 68% from the field, and 25+ minutes per game.. Good blocker but 55% FT shooter.

I think the same.. Cisse is gone.. I won't miss his rock hands and horrible FT shooting though.. Hope he finds his place in the world.

Would love to see a big-time PG, but sounding like the Lawsons might finish off the roster.
Memphis needs that PG it never had.

Dude for real!?!... With all due respect, you need more reading comprehension lol

His reading comprehension is fine and so is mine. You just did a poor job communicating your thoughts and then instead of saying you were misunderstood you doubled down.

This place is full of people addicted to conflict LOL... Stay on topic, guys.. We are all Tiger fans here.. We all want this team to succeed and become a national powerhouse.

Quote:Memphis has made a significant add with Miami transfer Earl Timberlake, who was No. 10 on our list. Timberlake was seen as a potential one-and-done entering his freshman season at Miami following a standout career at Maryland powerhouse DeMatha. However, he never looked right physically as he struggled through an ankle injury to start the year, then a shoulder injury ended his season after only seven games. When he is right, he’s a power lefty wing who is probably best as a four-man in college. He can get his own bucket, finish at the rim, rebound and defend. He needs to get the shoulder healthy, though, because he needs a strong offseason working on his jumper after connecting on just 28.6 percent behind the arc at Miami.

The Athletic write-up sounds more like ET (and also Minott) will be DJ's replacement. I'm thinking a combination of J-Lawson and Davion will be competing for Boogie's and Baugh's minutes. Maybe Malcolm, Sam, Chandler rotate at the 5.

I said it here.. Timberlake was coming to take DJ's spot but I got attacked by some posters that Timberlake is a guard.. Timberlake can actually play the 2, 3 and 4 positions.

I want to see a true PG, too.. We don't need J Lawson.. Memphis needs that PG it never had.

Timberlake played the 3 at Miami, the few games he had.

Why do you guys say this (not being argumentative, I honestly have not been keeping up with any of this)?

Even if we take both Lawsons, and assuming nobody else leaves (but with Cisse gone), we have room for one more, with Jayden as a walk-on

Thanks for clarifying the schollys availability.. Hope we use the last scholly on that coveted true PG.

As far as the Lawsons, I am not too thrilled about them coming to Memphis.. Why Penny wants a kid who was a scrub in Oregon in the first place???.. and then you got the family who are toxic AF.

He didn't start or play a a major role. That's what most call a scrub. Don't think it particularly derogatory. He has talent justed played a scrub role at Oregon.

Never saw "Scrub" not be derogatory.

This is new use of the word I guess.

Would that be the word you would use to describe Baugh.

The Athletic write-up sounds more like ET (and also Minott) will be DJ's replacement. I'm thinking a combination of J-Lawson and Davion will be competing for Boogie's and Baugh's minutes. Maybe Malcolm, Sam, Chandler rotate at the 5.

Would love to see a big-time PG, but sounding like the Lawsons might finish off the roster.

Even if we take both Lawsons, and assuming nobody else leaves (but with Cisse gone), we have room for one more, with Jayden as a walk-on

The season is still 7 months away. I had a quick look to see if there was anything public from Williams, LQ, Nolley and to a lesser extent Dandridge, saying that they are coming back for sure; but can't find anything. Cisse is up in the air.

I would feel great if they were coming back for sure. If any of them aren't, I'm confident that Penny will add the right pieces, but (again) it might take time for the players to put it together on the court.

He was also #10 in The Athletic's Top 50 before committing.

Quote:Memphis has made a significant add with Miami transfer Earl Timberlake, who was No. 10 on our list. Timberlake was seen as a potential one-and-done entering his freshman season at Miami following a standout career at Maryland powerhouse DeMatha. However, he never looked right physically as he struggled through an ankle injury to start the year, then a shoulder injury ended his season after only seven games. When he is right, he’s a power lefty wing who is probably best as a four-man in college. He can get his own bucket, finish at the rim, rebound and defend. He needs to get the shoulder healthy, though, because he needs a strong offseason working on his jumper after connecting on just 28.6 percent behind the arc at Miami.

While that's true, in 3 seasons, Jayden has never been a walk-on.

Thanks for clarifying the schollys availability.. Hope we use the last scholly on that coveted true PG.

As far as the Lawsons, I am not too thrilled about them coming to Memphis.. Why Penny wants a kid who was a scrub in Oregon in the first place???.. and then you got the family who are toxic AF.

"Scrub"

Really.

He didn't start or play a a major role. That's what most call a scrub. Don't think it particularly derogatory. He has talent justed played a scrub role at Oregon.

Started one-third of their games, and played 20 mpg. That's not a scrub - not that there's anything wrong with that.

Stats say he avg 17+ per game but call it 20. That said, avg 4.4 pts per game, with less than 1 steal, less than 1 asst & shooting 50% FTs is not a significant role. And BTW his mins & starts went up or down based upon the availability of 5*Dante & Oregon playing an inside guy or small ball. Or it could be said he wasn't productive given the mins he consumed

Mmm. You are confusing statistical production with role.

Playing 17 mpg means he was on the court for 42.5% of the game. I would consider that playing a significant role. He was doing something right or he would not have seen those kinds of minutes.

As with Baugh, I wonder what he did to deserve those minutes. Neither were very productive.
