Title: Hopper
Post by: Peter Nincompoop on January 16, 2014, 12:04:47 PM
Those of you HBBIQers, tell us about Hopper.  Saw some pretty sick dunks at the pre-season scrimmage on news, but know nothing about his game.  Should we be excited about him?  How will he fit with Foster/Thomas/Wesley? 

Also, any info on Bolden?  Thanks studs.

It will be interesting to see how Edwards fits. He was the best player on a bad team at Maine. He was a very inefficient scorer, below average shooter, pretty good at assists, steals, and drawing fouls.

Bolden is an unknown, he played in 4 games at GT and literally his only stats was missing one shot. He was a 3 star recruit with supposed offers from Georgetown, Baylor, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, VCU, and VT out of high school.

A year off is the best opportunity for Hopper to achieve his potential. As a guard, when you shoot under 30% from behind the arc your first two years in college, there is something fundamentally wrong with your shot. A year off gives the coaches a chance to fix that, and it gives him time to get accustomed to his new mechanics. He's an above average athlete and if he can shoot anywhere in the 30s from behind the arc next year, then he'll be able to utilize the stronger parts of his offensive game because teams will have to at least respect his threat from the outside. If he continues to struggle from the outside, then teams will sag off of him and he'll be relegated to being a role player most likely. Bolden? No clue. I don't think anyone knows anything about where he's at or where he's going as a basketball player, other than the staff.

Different area code, so it doesn't count.  Laid out and explained pretty well in the hit classic movie Road Trip.

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:

i think practicing a full year with the team you're going to be on helps a ton, as opposed to showing up in the summer prior. this is obvious, but worth noting.

Yes, and an expectation of better shooting is reasonable. If you are the best player on a bad team, you are going to take a lot of bad shots and have defensive game plans designed to only stop you every game. Playing alongside Foster, Gip, etc. that simply will not be the case.

I have heard Edwards has improve his shoot quite a bit since leaving Maine. He will give us another guy that can really get in the lane.

I just chose two years just for comparison's sake because their last two years were very similar. Kane did shoot a little better as a freshman (he redshirted one year as well).

Wait, why was Kane able to play immediately after transferring?

24 going on 25.

He graduated, but supposedly there was turmoil at Marshal and their coach didn't exactly ask him to return for his senior season.

Edwards and Boldin played in the open practice/ pre-season scrimmage before a football game last fall. Boldin wasn't much of a factor that day, but Edwards left quite an impression on me. I thought he was the best player on the floor that day. Its a small sample size, but he was hot from 3 pt range and had a couple of dunks, one an athletic ally oop that was an awesome DOB. He's raised my expectation for next year.

I wish I knew more about Hurt.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Dude just transferred.   If he's getting enough PT, I don't see him transferring again.   If he's not getting enough PT, it doesn't matter if he leaves.

From Weber's comments he is trying to learn how to play team ball instead of ball hog basketball.  Weber says he is not getting in the offensive flow.

I want Edwards to be good and think a lot of this is just mental right now, but that was a dime from Foster and a blatant blown dunk. When you couple it with his complete inability to shoot, defend, or play within the offense, it's easy to see why people are so down on him. I mean, if he's not making a few explosive, high-energy dunks now and again, what does he add to the team right now?
Title: Re: Hopper

I don't care if he ever dunks again in his life.  I just want him to stop missing and be where he is supposed to.
