Why wouldn't he want to play with a stud pg that will throw the perfect lob pass?

Mudiay will get so much attention that Turner would be feasting. Plus l, NM throws plenty of nice lobs as well.

I have a decent feeling about turner to SMU for some reason. You just never know...especially if we keep winning

If we landed Turner, smu would be a legit national championship contender. Imagine mudiay at the point, turner at center Marcus Kennedy at PF Keith at SG and Ben moor at SF. Then you still have nic Moore and yanick comming of the bench. That is a scary team. One can dream.

Moore and Mudiay would start because Nic is our best shooter and moves best without the ball. Without the added responsibility of having to handle the ball Nic could average about 20 per game imo.

so, without turner, what would our starting 5 look like next year?

I disagree. Moore is 5-8 which would create match-up problems against the more elite teams that have bigger guards or decide to go big with their lineups. Also, Nic is currently the best shooter on the team, but I think in theory keith should be able to take that title from him assuming he continues to improve. Further there is nothing wrong with having the ability to go small or to have a very legit back up point guard.

If Turner does not come, a lot of the starting line up would depend on who else fills in the class. Obviously you would plug Yanick in for turner at C, but lb might want to then use Marcus as the back up center to reduce the possibility of both big men getting into foul trouble.

Without Turner (2 deep): Moreira/Cunningham, Kennedy/Ben Moore, Brown/Frazier, Nic Moore/Frazier, Mudiay/Nic Moore

That's not bad. And keep in mind that we will also have Crandall Head and Ryan Manuel available and may be able to pick up a JUCO or another good freshman to take Jalen's roster spot

Isn't Cunningham a senior this year?

Nope! Cunningham is a junior. While Nic Moore would be a starter, and not coming off the bench

Even if Frazier starts, I think you see a lot of Nic Moore and Mudiay on the court together. You can run a lot of plays off each other when you have two guys that can dribble and create, especially with Nic's shot.

I agree with Rebel Nic will be in the starting lineup next year. Pony Law you haven't seen Nic enough to know that he's a very good shooter.

No way that Nic Moore is not our starting PG next season.

We will have as deep and talented a roster as anyone in the country next year.

Nic and Eman in the back court together would be serious.
