regarding this point, it seems to me that this previous offseason we prioritized shooting over athleticism/defense/rebounding, and for next year I'm hoping we flip that priority and look for athleticism/defense/rebounding FIRST, and just make sure that a player's shooting is enough to be a...

I don't think this is necessarily true, and nobody (that I've seen, at least) has been arguing that we should ignore numbers or statistical analysis anywhere here. I just thought your initial comment using only the "active" possession numbers left out too much of the complete picture (and the...

Well sure, that's a technicality. They will match up with whoever the staff thinks is the best fit on D, and Tomi will continue to be a pick and pop and high post distributor guy.

Is there any chance when Tomi comes back that he just starts in Ben's place and we leave Morez as a starter too?

Agreed. Has been really noticeable in late shot clock situations. Last year we had TSJ obviously, who could break defenders down, but of course also Domask, who - while not super athletic - was incredible at getting at least a decent shot if we ever just needed him to come up with one. This...

Hmm you might be missing his point? I think his argument is that using your apparent criteria of "active" being that you have the ball in your hands (or something like that - I'm not exactly sure what you're using for criteria there so I'm guessing) doesn't give a good picture of how a floor...

seriously regretting my username choice 😭

True. Makes me wonder what the chances of Ivisic sticking around for another year or 2 are, because if that happened, he’d be the equivalent of a Covid super senior at that point. (and by then that will be an outlier instead of the norm)

Zvonimir is more athletic and a more interesting NBA prospect. But I think there’s a very real possibility that Tomislav ends up being a better COLLEGE player, as on paper it would seem his game and build is better suited to the NCAA rules than it is to the NBA. And if it turns out that...

No obviously he can’t assume that. That’s something he might have to deal with - honestly it’s likely just for the sake of depth. But unlike other positions, Booth would at least already have a year of experience and a head start in building trust with Brad and the staff, compared to a new...

I have no insight at all into how Booth is actually feeling about it all, but as I see it as an outsider, I would think Booth's future outlook is quite a bit better than almost anyone else on the team that's not an expected/potential starter this year. And of course I'm sure he wants minutes...

Nothing new to add that hasn’t already been said, but what an amazing offseason by Brad and the staff. Next year will be interesting with all of the youth and new faces, but wow the accrual of talent is crazy.

I don't know, I have it on good authority that TSJ played 5 seasons at Illinois, per the AP, so not a transfer. "The 6-foot-6 Shannon, who can play point guard and shooting guard, played five seasons for Illinois."...

Let’s hope this keeps gaining steam! Nice exposure for this idea from Piper here.
