Great news! Welcome to SMU Justin Martin! An experienced, upperclassman with proven talent who can help lead our team next year. Perfect fit. We are stacked! Sterling and Martin at the 3, that is quality depth. Which of the coaches do we have to thank for Justin Martin?

Fran just tweeted he wouldn't be surprised if Tolbert chooses not to apply for waiver and play next yr instead bc of the log jam.

I'm greedy. I want him to play NOW. Here's my take if he does:

Mudiay
Nic
Martin
Tolbert
Kennedy

OR

Mudiay
Nic
Tolbert
Kennedy
Yanick

backups: Sterling, Cannen, B. Moore, Manuel

need another ball handler more than anything but damn . . . just . . . damn!

There literally aren't enough minutes for people...Here is how I now see it shaping out with the addition of Martin.

PG: Mudiay 30, Moore 10
SG: Moore 20, Frazier 20
SF: Martin 20, Brown 20
PF: Kennedy 20, Moore 20
C: Kennedy 10, Cunningham 20, Moreira 10

I don't see any room for Tolbert this year and more importantly we now have a logjam at SG/SF. Where does Ryan Manuel fit into this? I can't see Nic Moore playing less than 30 mpg (32.2 last year), I can't see Keith Frazier not moving up to 20 mpg (14.8 mpg last year), I can't see Sterling Brown not getting 20 mpg (19.4 mpg last year) and Mudiay will definitely play 30 mpg. Martin played 28 mpg last season, so even asking him to cut that to 20 mpg, where does Manuel play?

Oh, and a second unit of Moore, Frazier, Brown, Moore and Cunningham is downright filthy.

We need another ball handler? No, we really don't. Mudiay will play 30 mpg as will Moore, most of the time on the floor together. And when one is resting, the other will be on the floor! If we ever come across a team with a press like Louisville, both Moore and Mudiay will be on the floor for nearly the entire game.

Who brings the ball up if the other team presses that group?

Nic Moore.
i guess Manuel is the 3rd option. He prob will be tucked away on the bench most likely.?

I like how none of you have Brown or B. Moore starting. Those guys ate nails last year, in case you forgot.

And with a year of growth and improvement they will challenge for starter slots. Practices are going to be so intense you could sell tickets to their scrimmages.
