Needs in addition to Mudiay

Postby Rebel10 » Thu Apr 03, 2014 11:15 pm

Another guard? Another big? A swingman? Or make room for 2 scholarships and get a combination of some type?

Shooter (assuming Tolbert gets his hardship). And Eman needs to work on his shot, too. If he develops a shot and it becomes a threat, he can have a great pump fake and then take it to the rack any time he wants (or they have to play up on him and he'll be bigger/stronger than most PGs and if they body him up that's to his advantage).

Keeeeeth also needs to work on his game over the summer big time. Put on some muscle, work on his defense and just general bball IQ. If Ben, Keith, and Cannen can put on some muscle in the offseason that would help tremendously (MK also has one more fitness level to take it to). George Lynch, we need you.

I was about to say we need Cannen, Ben and Moreria to hit the weight room too. We have the ability to dominate the boards with more physical strength

1) We need Ryan Manuel to practice jump shots with Keith and Nic every day. In particular, he needs to learn to put arc on the ball. While he will never be a great shooter, he should be able to improve to not terrible.

2) With Tolbert and Mudiay coming, we need another outside shooter because every other team that beat us seemed to haver 4-5 shooters to our 2-3 shooters (Nic, Russell, Frazier).

nobody wants to mention it but Mudiay's 3 point shot is not strong at all. I saw a stat somewhere that is big national spotlite games he was something like 7 for 41

True. Hopefully Mudiay's other skills help get Nic more opportunities to shoot the three though. It's tough to get Nic open (especially at 5'9") when he's the only PG available. Another shooter would be great though. (And obviously hoping Keith continues to develop.)

What I really missed this season was a guy that could drive to the basket with regularity. Mudiay looks like he'll be able to fix that next season.

If we get Turner that's a whole 'nother thing. Absent that we need a consistent three point threat. Maybe someone or two currently on the roster improves from downtown but I'd still like to see a light's out three-baller added.

With Eman, Nic and KF on the floor at the same time, we will be difficult to defend. Eman will penetrate, Nic and KF can spot up while Markus and Tolbert/Moreira can hang around the paint. When the defense collapses on Eman, someone will be open. We will be a completely different offense with Eman on the floor. It will be scary to see how good he is after getting coached up by one of the greatest PG teachers ever. My hope is he lives in the gym between now and November shooting threes all day.

This. Our offense will be vastly different next year with 2 solid ball handlers constantly on the floor.
