Already seeing DaMonte’s physical improvement
He will need to develop and improve a lot to make it to the NBA
DaMonte is already bigger/stronger looking than Jordan is....looking for a big season when is ALL comes together for him. He will be a leader for us going into mid season and certainly next year.
well if he keeps improving at pace he did last year he should give himself a decent shot (no pun intended)as possible. with more scorers around him in the next couple years...AG and TJ and hopefully more next year I think he'll have a chance to dish more. Regardless, I expect he will get paid well for his talents after college.Trent’s a good player, but I don’t see him in the NBA. He needs to improve in all phases of his game, and develop better pg instincts.
He may turn out to be a great college player though, because he seems to be a natural leader.
Nice article about Kipper’s offseason growth.

That's coaching in a nutshell right there! :thumb:
How long have you been saving that one LOL?
I think there is some pretty wrong stuff in there. The idea that we have no shot at the tourney is kind of ridiculous. We have a lot of unknowns that could come down one way or another. Odds are against us but it's not completely unreasonable.
Not sure why everyone would agree to that. This is arguably the worst team on paper in 20 years for us. It can't be understated what a disaster our front court is as it stands. Our 3 bigs:
I don't have 20 years of team rosters in front of me to debate this but I agree our team will be young and will struggle. If we're in the running for a tourney birth, that would be an improvement, sad as it is to say it. Yes, being a bubble team would be a good season IMHO.
That said, we got a stud PG coming in, and a stud PG already on the team. Both can play up too. I think we'll be fine on the wing --we still have AJ, and a couple young guys who should fit well despite being young and physically at a disadvantage. The 4/5 is a problem for sure. Hopefully Kipper can improve his defense and stay on the floor more.
