[QUOTE="Soulberries, post: 1542890, member: 707756"] Honestly, I can see Frazier coming off the bench some this season, especially if the frosh can hold their own on the defensive end. Feel free to tell me if I’m wrong, but it seems like his shooting was much better at the beginning of the game and bottomed as the game wore on. This isn’t a knock on Trent - I just think he can be better utilized. He can provide that much needed spark of energy off the bench, much like Feliz did last year, and can come in as a defensive stopper as well. He’ll still get a lot of minutes, just as Giorgi will. It takes a leader to assume what some might see as a lesser role, but one that is actually needed by the team. I believe Curbelo will be starting by mid season. I think both Grandison and Hutch will be too good to not get significant playing time, and Hawkins’ shooting and passing ability will earn him time as well. As much as I wanted Tchikou to come in and be the 4 we desperately need, I still think, if everything is ticking, we could still have an embarrassment of riches. [/QUOTE]
