We need Nolley to shoot better. for what ever reason, whether he's hurt, doesn't function well off the bench, whatever.. He needs to be on the floor, his experience is important, however, when he is on the floor he likes to put it up, so far this year the results are not good.

I like Lomax, glad he came here, but we seem to function better when he is NOT on the floor, at lease offensively.

The offense appears to be rounding into shape.. we are scoring a lot, against some good competition, and from the look of it we do a lot of things well... turnovers are still an issue, but seem to be trending in the right direction.

Bates still looks like the real deal, superbly talented. He will get stronger, get used to playing against older, bigger players, and continue to improve his decision making. IF we can keep him another year he could be special.

Duren is special, not a huge offensive threat, but the best post play in 20 years. (Wiseman didn't really play).

We NEED Williams on the court, he's the best all around player we have.. not a pro, but the best in the college game. With him playing well we are tough to handle.

Timberlake is going to have to develop a spot up 3 to be more than a Jayden clone. and i like jayden.. we need guys who are steady and don't need the spotlight.

Dandridge... he's big.. and.. well... he's big...

Q reminds me of Brooks from the Grizz.. we love him, every opposing team HATES him.. obnoxious.. maybe a little dirty.. glad he's on our side.

Tyler thrives when he is not the first option in the offense.. i've always liked him, still do. other teams are certainly going to exploit his size and post him up, we saw it 3-4 times yesterday, but the good outweighs the bad.

If Minott stays he will be special as well.. he has a very good feel for the game, likes to mix it up, and has outstanding size/speed. His rebounding and passing are impressive. Currently there's a hitch in his shot that needs to be corrected and he's overmatched defensively a bit (fouls a lot).. but the potential is awesome.

Chandler? don't really need him... redshirt to play with his brother next year, or both transferring?

We can be dangerous... i expect to make the tournament... and win a game or two when we get there.

Depends on the fit. Precious was a much better fit on his roster than Duren would have been and I believe vice versa this year with Duren being a much better fit for this roster.

Minott has only had 14 fouls in his last 10 games. One of those was against Tulsa where he fouled out so in 9 games he had 9 fouls. His defense has vastly improved. He is shooting 60% from 2, 40% from 3 and 65% from the line. I don't see a hitch in his shot. Maybe that's Timberlake you are thinking about.

Duren is a talent...

But playing for Penny the more versatile the big is the better he fits into Penny's system. Hence Penny saying yesterday about having to play small because Duren wasn't able to switch properly. That wouldn't happen with Precious.

Playing in a system where post play is valued and is a focus of the offense then Yes Duren would be the better fit.

i agree that chandler is what he is. i would hope he redshirts the year not in hope of him getting better, but why waste a year? Hope he plays 2 more years as a 15 minute back up for multiple positions. you're right, he will likely be recruited over again. i would hope that the plan was to redshirt Jonathon from the beginning. Chandler could take this year as a medical redshirt and transfer with his brother if he likes.. maybe??

We need Nolley to shoot better. for what ever reason, whether he's hurt, doesn't function well off the bench, whatever.. He needs to be on the floor, his experience is important, however, when he is on the floor he likes to put it up, so far this year the results are not good.

I like Lomax, glad he came here, but we seem to function better when he is NOT on the floor, at lease offensively.

The offense appears to be rounding into shape.. we are scoring a lot, against some good competition, and from the look of it we do a lot of things well... turnovers are still an issue, but seem to be trending in the right direction.

Bates still looks like the real deal, superbly talented. He will get stronger, get used to playing against older, bigger players, and continue to improve his decision making. IF we can keep him another year he could be special.

Duren is special, not a huge offensive threat, but the best post play in 20 years. (Wiseman didn't really play).

We NEED Williams on the court, he's the best all around player we have.. not a pro, but the best in the college game. With him playing well we are tough to handle.

Timberlake is going to have to develop a spot up 3 to be more than a Jayden clone. and i like jayden.. we need guys who are steady and don't need the spotlight.

Dandridge... he's big.. and.. well... he's big...

Q reminds me of Brooks from the Grizz.. we love him, every opposing team HATES him.. obnoxious.. maybe a little dirty.. glad he's on our side.

Tyler thrives when he is not the first option in the offense.. i've always liked him, still do. other teams are certainly going to exploit his size and post him up, we saw it 3-4 times yesterday, but the good outweighs the bad.

If Minott stays he will be special as well.. he has a very good feel for the game, likes to mix it up, and has outstanding size/speed. His rebounding and passing are impressive. Currently there's a hitch in his shot that needs to be corrected and he's overmatched defensively a bit (fouls a lot).. but the potential is awesome.

Chandler? don't really need him... redshirt to play with his brother next year, or both transferring?

We can be dangerous... i expect to make the tournament... and win a game or two when we get there.

It's possible.

no, i'm not saying he's lying, but things can change. if someone can get them both as a package deal who knows?

i actually expect them both to stay, for Chandler to log nice minutes for 2 more years, and for Jonathan to have an outstanding career as a 4 year player. i really hope both stay, it's nice to have hometown guys on the roster, and if they leave we might have none in the freshman class next year, and only 2 on the roster. Frankly that would be a shame.

Nice Post...

I agree with Most...

But I am taking Precious over Duren.

Depends on the fit. Precious was a much better fit on his roster than Duren would have been and I believe vice versa this year with Duren being a much better fit for this roster.

Duren is a talent...

But playing for Penny the more versatile the big is the better he fits into Penny's system. Hence Penny saying yesterday about having to play small because Duren wasn't able to switch properly. That wouldn't happen with Precious.

Playing in a system where post play is valued and is a focus of the offense then Yes Duren would be the better fit.

Agreed local kids are always fun.

And Chandler used his free transfer year. So unless he graduates this year he aint transferring.
