We have quite a few talented scorers on this team already. What we need are players willing to defend and rebound. Adding players like Ado and giving more minutes to Xavian Stapleton and Eli Wright should help us improve in our deficient areas. That is why I say addition by subtraction.
Q & Lamar yes they are our top scorers but to put Nick ahead of Mario is a little premature. Also you say Mario needs to improve his game but list Tyson as a top scoring option over him when right now he's mainly a spot up shooter? His game has to expand too. We have quite a few guys who were known as scorers in HS but only 2 have proven that on the college level so far. Mario avg basically double figures & it's not a stretch to think he would've avg 12-14 this year with a year under his belt & a little better shot selection. Mario avg 5.5reb/game you say he should avg 7-8. I disagree. You think he should avg just as many rebs as Bam, Robert Williams, Tyler Davis, and Moses Kinglsey? I don't. Now Herard & Holman yes. Can Xay & Eli pick up the slack? They probably can but they have to show it 1st. Again this isn't some season collapsing loss but you do this all the time. Over estimate kids coming in & then downplay kids when they leave or don't work out. Mario is a very solid player & would've helped this year.
