So Lawson who played the 3 or 4 as a 17 min sub at Oregon avg 4 pts is going to get Baugh's mins at PG? AND the phantom minutes of a guy who transferred out in Dec. who played the 4 as much as he did the 3? You must have gotten this info under some double secret communication from Penny himself. It sure makes Lawson seen like a versatile guy with amazing upside that he can play the PG spot even though he avg less than 1 asst per game. And BTW, Penny offered Lawson before the Timberlake commitment if you believe daddy Lawson. But of course I'm sure you have direct line communication to know how Penny intends to use these guys.

In extreme situations, point form may provide the only option to try and get someone to understand.

Unbelievable...right out of the chute...

Quote:So Lawson who played the 3 or 4 as a 17 min sub at Oregon

- Thomas played the 3 or 4 at Memphis
- Lance Thomas 6'8/210, Chandler Lawson 6'8/205
- Lawson will not play point guard
- Baugh probably played half of his minutes at the 2. He played at least 75% of his minutes not initiating the offense.
- Baugh played some minutes at the 3 when we went small
- We finished the season with 10 scholarship players.
- IF everyone else stays, he will get Jayden minutes. If anyone leaves he will be an insurance policy

I hope this helps, but I doubt it.

The ball stopped moving on offense when DJ got it. He loved to clear out and drive... and sometimes it’s was really effective; but it just seemed like others stopped getting good shots when he was controlling the ball.

Yep he was definitely a one-on-one guy. That's said I don't understand the interest in replacing him with a guy who's was a sub avg 4 pts on 17 mins played, less than one asst, less than one steal, 3 rebounds & shooting 50% from the FT line. What's attractive about that? We've already been told by our self proclaimed experts that Baugh's production won't increase with more PT regardless of where he goes. Guess it just doesn't apply to Lawson. SMH, just don't see the attraction especially given the family track record of media drama in Memphis.

Maybe if Baugh goes from 20 minutes per game to 85 minutes per game, he will score double digits. Make sure you let us know how that works out.

DJ is being replaced by Timberlake.

Man, that guy can sing...

And he has something in a box for you.

DJ can take the drama to Miss St for all I care..

What's weird is that there has been no announcement yet. Everyone said this was a done deal weeks ago. Not sure the he$itation.

No, he's not coming back to Memphis.

This just makes no sense to me. Came to Memphis, tons of opportunity, beats the pants off Miss State in to end the year, a game he played well in, and then transfer to Miss State. Why?

We have too much talent to keep him on the floor when his offense isn't clicking, and he's the kind of player who needs touches and shots to find his rhythm IMO. He's a poor man's Carmelo Anthony, and he will shine (though not necessarily win) on a team that lets him play through his bad shots.

Some kids are natural competitors who want to win more than anything, and some kids are playing for solely for business reasons. As for the latter, I can't fault them. There's a lot of money at stake, and not every program/system is a good fit for maximizing their value.

I think DJ could have shined here next year, but I understand why a program that wants to feature him as their #1 scorer and doesn't have a lot of competition for his minutes is likely a good opportunity for him.

You can say that about all of our players with the exception of Williams. None of them are consistent enough. We don't really need any of our guys to improve that much. They have the skills, they need to be more consistent. I think they will.

Well, we were consistent. We were consistently inconsistent.
