I'm sure this video was posted when he moved here, but it's fun to watch so I'll post it again.

I believe he should be an upgrade from what we are getting from Will's minutes but I was hoping he was more of a 3 than a 2.

Next year's roster doesn't have a stretch 4 IMO - It will be interesting to see if we play a majority of the time with 3 guards and 2 bigs or if we try to get away with Wes at the 4.

totally forgot Nino is only a JR but I am not sure he is the answer - too short and can't shoot 3s.

It will be interesting to see how the line-ups develop next year.

oscar will have a solid core of 5 guards/wings to work with: Jevon, Nigel, Foster, Westicles, and Edwards.

Then we'll have more bigs than usual: Gipson, DJamer, Nino, Bolden, Hurt.

I suppose Nino is a tweener, but he plays like a big. I included the main 10 that I think can be contributors next year. Looking at that line-up we may see 2 bigs on the floor.

If Hurt's anywhere near what he's cracked up to be, we have to figure out how to get him and Gip on the floor at the same time.

Edwards shot less than 30% from 3. But according to everyone there, he passed the eye test at our midnight madness, or whatever we call it.

Its hard to know how he'll translate, but its fairly reasonable to hope he can be (at least) some sort of lesser version of Deandre Kane. And before you think the comparison is ridiculous I give you this:



No no no no, they play a totally different game

MIR is a huge fan of Bolden :dunno:

I know nothing of his basketball skills, he's crazy skinny though

Of course they are different, but there are similarities that show up in a lot of their numbers. I was mainly speaking to the possibilities of what can happen when a player transfers up to a bigger program as far as improvement goes, especially when they are surrounded by other good players.

It's good to make that. 99% of the people reading this have never seen Edwards play & would expect to see a similar style of play & they are very different.

That's very true.

I was really surprised how similar their advanced stats were though, especially Kane's shooting.

IMO, I think a lot with have to do with how good Bolden is.   If he is a decent player than can contribute next year, then I could see 80 minutes of PT going to Gip, Hurt, Nino and Bolden.

If not, I could see Westicles playing at the 3 and 4 spot on the floor.  If Foster and Edwards log 62-64 minutes in important games, then Westicles is gonna see less than 20 if we don't play him at the 4 spot

oscar is gonna play the best players, so my gut call (right now) is we go small at times.... and Foster/Edwards/Westicles ave 86-88 minutes per in important games

Meh, he's money from the baseline.  I think we'll like him a lot this year.

If sources are accurate on how Edwards is shooting "the cover of the ball", we are going to have a hell of a team. Hearing big things about Nigel. Anybody have some insidery info on Jevon.
