Let my clarify as Cunningham and Yanick are great players but have the potential to be much better given their height.

Cunningham is a tremendous shooter for his size and a great offensive weapon. With that said, he tends to be lazy on defense. Yanick is 6'11 so I hope he's a beast on the boards. He needs to be wayyyy more aggressive on the offensive side of the ball. Here is my starting lineup:

NMoore - Boss
SBrowne - If Keith shows LB he's developed the mental aspect of the game I see him starting at some point. Both these guys will need to have a huge year.
JMartin - scores, rebounds, all around great addition
Bmoore - At 6'8 he will have to step up if Markus cant go. In my opinion, he has the ability to be one of the best players on the court no matter who we play and gives more effort than anyone
MKennedy - Why is he a history major? Get him in the sports mgmt program. I see Cunningham over Yanick if he can't go.

Let's be honest, none of this matters if we don't find someone who can take up the ball if/when NMoore gets in foul trouble.

How is Cannen Lazy? Not showing emotion on the court and being lazy are totally different.


LB has said Cannen's motor can run a little slow at time (he said that while saying he's got a high basketball iq and athleticism). I was surprised how active he was at the practice...more active than i've ever seen him

You do have a good point there.
