Anything beyond that is great and will be massive improvement to what we've had recently.

My only concern is the Lawson brothers are little bit of the same we had in DJ-type player. A wing player that is trying to make it to the NBA, but is on the slow-side and would rather shoot jumpers than to drive to the hoop and finish with authority. I hope they have a better motor and are more aggressive with the ball in their hands than what we've had. I'd be more willing to give Jonathan a pass this year bc he is just a freshman, but Chandler needs to bring it this year. I'm going to support them bc their success should equal Tigers success.

Go Tigers!

Assuming you haven't seen them play. Neither is like DJ. (BTW, DJ was really good before his injury.)

Chandler is not a wing. He is a non traditional post, but he won't be taking any 3's. His strengths are defense and rebounding. He can guard 4 or 5 and can effectively switch PNR. He can also take the ball full court and can lead the break off a defensive rebound. If he keeps developing he can be a Deandre Williams type player. Might be a better passer already than Williams.

Jonathan plays like a traditional scoring point guard or combo guard. His height makes him more versatile than most traditional guards though. Penny's offense doesn't have a defined 3 position necessarily, but he wouldn't be that anyway. I would guess he will be guarding the opposing team 1&2 most of the time.

Yet hasn't played a minute of college basketball. Hard to believe.
