    Ok so for every Malik there's a Nick Weatherspoon
    For every Fred Thomas there's a Q Weatherspoon

    I wish I was as optimistic as y'all with basketball signees but maybe there's a silver lining here for me. I expect Perry to be the 9th best player on the team next year and I look forward to being pleasantly surprised and proven wrong by him.

    Really? You're gonna lose this game hard core. There's 60 dudes drafted every year and not all Americans either. There's 100 top players every year so roughly 80% of the top 100 players don't get drafted ever.

    I’m not trying to argue. I just don’t believe Perry will be the 9th best player on the team. There’s only one way to find out though, we’ll have to wait until November and see.

    What about this:

    PG- Peters
    SG- Q
    3- X
    4- Perry or Holman
    5- Ado

    I think that's our most conventional lineup.

    That’s alright, but Nick has to start IMO. He’s our best defender, and is becoming unguardable shooting off the dribble.

    No way I'm putting Xay in & taking Nick out. It doesn't make us better in any way.

    Q cant play the 2. He will get used like a condom on defense. He cant defend a 2 above the academy league

    It makes us a much longer team. We would potentially fair better against teams like UK and UT.

    It also puts each guy at their natural position. X isn't a 4. He's a 3. Q's natural position and the best year he had is/was playing the 2.

    Didn't he play the 2 last year and average 16.5 points a game? 2 above his career average.

    no- he played the 3 mostly last year and Kegler played the 4. We played IJ and Peters at the 1 and 2. Thats why Kegler left- he thought he was a full-time 3 and knew he wouldnt play it here with Q at the 3

    I think our best lineup is Peters, Spoons, X and Ado. X and Spoon both rebound very well and both can shoot 3's. Having basically 4 guards and Ado we are deadly in transition and we move the ball better and quicker on offense. In a half court set we are better with Holman and Carter in the game.

    Didn't Kegler, Holman, and Herard all start last year?

    No way Nick isn't in the starting line-up. He's our best player imo

    Best defender*.

    I get it. But if you play him at the 2 next year and Q at the 3, you are leaving a lot of length of the bench and playing a small lineup.

    Nick has to start, no matter how small of a lineup that gives us. He’s deadly shooting off the dribble, and as has been said: he’s our best defender..
