Player Khaman Maluach

85% chance of an injury in December. Let’s hope he’s ready for the tournament

Maybe this boosts the odds slightly of Tyrese coming back?

One week from today until we conclusively know the fate of next year's team, after watching the first two minutes of the Hoop Summit.

My ideal for major games (currently not likely but somewhat realistic if everyone was a rational actor):

Proctor/Foster
Roach*/Foster
Foster/Evans/Power
Flagg/Power and Stewart spot mins
Maluach/Stewart


* If no Roach, legit portal veteran who can come close to his production

Flagg’s immense value comes from him being able to rove a bit on D as the 4. I don’t think him making threes changes that.

I think we’re going to be fine on defense. We need to devote the rest of the roster construction to offense.

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Also if Ngonba is doing this now I don’t really see the need for the Ivy big. And I think Power’s future is a 4 and Stewart as a 5/4. There is a better chance of Power bulking up a bit and playing the 4 than of him becoming quick enough to guard threes in my view

A reasonable stand-in for Roach, assuming he’s gone, is what we’ll truly need.

Can't wait to see him and Evans flexing against a community college in a November Duke game.

 

[CK86]

Going to need several of those plays in a Duke uniform to get over my disappointment in losing Stewart.

Are there any defensive highlights? Brown can dunk. Kham can dunk. I want to see unicorn level replays of guards and forwards shitting themselves trying to get a shot off over the outstretched arms of this giant that makes him like no other player in the college ranks next year

 

[dukeboy911]

that's an 18 yr old? curious who the defender was.

This makes me wonder, how many blocks Wemby would average if he had played college basketball? Hasheem Thabeet averaged over 4 blocks a game for his college career and he sucked at the next level. Thinking 6 or 7 per game wouldn't be completely out of the realm of possibility for a freak like Wemby (averaged 3.6 blocks per game in just under 30 mpg as a rookie).

 

[LastHearth]

He would break David Robinson/Olajuwon's single season block record of 207

 

[aiw]

If he ever takes that shot at Duke he should be kicked out.

Right. I don’t care about his post scoring honestly. After losing Stewart, I want to see plays that indicate a beastly rebounding and block rate.

Fuck those midrange fadeaways and let’s see him switching on a guard and devouring his shot Wemby-style.
