2012-13 WeberCats
« on: October 09, 2012, 06:49:08 AM »
Can we get a discussion going on player production differences and how our team might be different under Weber? Por ejemplo:

-what's our predicted starting 5?
-who do you think is 6th man?
-Will Diaz turn into a monster?
-Did Southwell work on his floating jumpshot?
-Is EMAPE a legit threat to play and is he only a junior?

Basically what steve dave said. Starting line up is pretty easy IMO, and you have 3 solid guys who can come off the bench in AD, MI3, and Shane. Diaz will not be a monster but he will hopefully be improved. If he has improved like...ALOT then maybe we will see him and JO starting together. I do not think Shane worked on his floating jumpshot but hopefully just his jumpshot in general. I doubt EMAPE is anything but garbage.

-Diaz showed a lot of potential in limited minutes last year. He's got that nack to time rebounds well and he's got a quick put back ability. I really think Diaz has the ability to turn into something special under Weber, because they will teach him the subtle basics of offensive scoring. I'll go out on a limb and say he'll be a major contributor by seasons end.
-I'm really hoping SS figures out that slashing floater. If he can get to 6-7 ppg, it'll help out so much.

Guys I'm starting to get fired up about some basketball

Marty will be our 6 man.  I don't expect to be surprised by Will, so Marty basically has to be it.

I just hope Gipson didn't spend his summer munching Doritos Locos Tacos. We really need him to improve, mainly to lose the man boobs and potentially be able to improve his vertical leap (highly unlikely).

We're a 20 win team this year.

Next year,  :facepalm:

Based on the scrimmage and a couple of Weber's comments, Omari will be getting plenty of minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if he started over Will. The only reason I don't think it will happen is because it's too good to be true.

1-Angel
2-Tay
3-HotRod
4-Gip
5-Jo

6Man/6Monster- Two headed monster of EMAPE and Sprads (unstoppable monster) AKA The Buckets Monster   

Diaz will play a lot of minutes for the first big to get in foul trouble and Shane will come in when Angel comes out to make sure the drink gets stirred.

Biggest question is who comes in as the forth big? Nino or DJamer.

DJamer played a lot at the scrimmage. Way more than Nino.

I'm going to give KK the benefit of the doubt and assume that he didn't mean to say that Hoskins sucked, it's just how we're reading it.

I don't like it any more than anybody else but it's happened in the past and it's going to happen again.

All we can do is hope Sprads makes a fair % of open 3's (upper 30's % range  :crossfingers:).

I agree with Nino sucking.   He's just been awful at basketball.  But, I mean, we gave Joe Leonard a scholarship too.

nino was pretty good in high school, that's part of the reason why frank gave him a scholarship.
