that's right.

[Mixed-Nutz]

Nino plays 14 mins per game at the most.

[8manpick]

Nino plays 14 mins per game at the most.

Just who the eff do you think plays on this team?

[Mixed-Nutz]

Big 12 minutes Projection


1: Jevon 30 mins, Nigel 10 mins 
2: Will 27 mins, Nigel 13 mins
3: Foster 25 mins, Shane 5 mins, Omari 10 mins
4: Shane 30 mins, Nino 10 mins
5: Gip 25 mins, DJamer 15 mins

  Something like that

Would like Nigel to eat as many of wills minutes as he can. Hope Westicles can plays some three and Fincher can contribute a little.

constant will hate is tiresome. he's not great and never will be. we all understand that. be mad at oscar and frank for not finding someone better if you want. it's not like sg is our only position that's going to suck ballsacks next year.

Gosh, somebody around here said that 2 years ago or so, Frankites didn't like it very much.

God, shut up. Plenty of posters have pointed that out several times.

[EMAWmeister]

I just hope we get the good Nino next year.

[MakeItRain]

I'm concerned that Shane will regress. I don't see him as a primary scorer and I think his game will suffer with increased responsibility. Sorry Shane

he'll probably be a better player and put up significantly worse numbers.  seems extremely likely.

Yes. Having the good Nino would be very good. Damned good, in fact.

Nino has only been good when the other team refuses to box him out. That is the only way he can score in the post, trash points, because he's not near quick enough or a good enough ball handler to take it to the rim, and he is way too short to post anybody up down low. Nino's jumper is working about once every five games. In those other games, he's taking too many shots that other players could be taking and making. Also, he is too short to defend anybody straight up, and does not appear to have the leaping ability to front his man and try to deflect/steal the lob. In short, there is no "Good Nino", occasionally there are teams that don't care to guard him (when his jumper is falling) or box him out, and this creates an illusion of the mythical "Good Nino."


BAD NINO

i can see this. but more than likely we'll see a situation where his shooting pct declines but his ppg goes up.

What was that, I'm still laughing at your MTV Real World analogies et. al. regarding homesickness.

Worse numbers? He averaged under nine per game this past season. We are going to expect 12-15 imo

[sys]

i don't care about ppg, so i wasn't thinking of it when i said numbers.  i should have been more precise.  i mean his suite of efficiency related stats.  i especially expect his shooting % to go down.  i guess his ft % and rate should probably improve though.

It almost has to unless one of the new guys is a fantastic scorer.

I agree he should get close to 15 a game but it seems likely there will be a reduction in efg and offensive rating as he is asked to take tougher shots and teams game plan against him.  For conf games only Shane was 8th in the conference at 55.2 and 10th in offensive rating at 118.1 but only 47th in poss percentage at 18%

[OregonSmock]

Projected starting lineups for TSC next year:

'cats:

PG - Johnson/Foster
SG - Sprads
SF - Southwell
PF - Gipson
C - Johnson


'hawks:

PG - Tharpe
SG - Selden
SF - White
PF - Ellis
C - Embiid


Lots of new faces on next year's rosters, but KU will be much more inexperienced than K-State.  KU could still end up getting a couple transfers from Memphis and Alabama, and maybe a '13 recruit or two, so we'll have to wait and see how everything shakes out.  Is K-State planning on signing anyone else for next season?  TIA.

I doubt we start DJamer and Gip as well together either but that would mean starting 2 fr

Nino at PF.

And move Shane to the three?  Does Statsheet or any other site have a way to see if Gip, Shane and Nino played together this past season?

I'd be surprised if he didn't.  His upside is through the roof, and he gives KU a shot blocking presence down low.
