Depending on how good of a defender Hutch is, I could see DMW starting to provide defensive/offensive balance between the 1’s and 2’s. Could potentially need DMW’s length and versatility more with the 1’s, while we may potentially need Hutch’s (presumed) offensive punch with the 2’s.
Thats a tough call. I dont see anyone jumping Jacob at the 4 with Kofi back. When the B10 arrives here's what I see
To a certain extent I think who starts does matter to BU, because we at times had a tendency to have a poor start and dig ourselves a hole, and I seem to recall BU bemoaning that. My memory may be off here, but wasn't Grandison starting at least to some degree an adjustment made to combat that tendency? Of course total minutes matter more than who starts, but I do think there is a lot of thought being put into who gets the minutes at the beginning and end of games.
One of if not the biggest turning points of last season was inserting Jacob at the 4 ahead of GB. It was when we got hot and the floor seemed to open up for Kofi and slashers with Jacob and DMW shooting well from outside.
Assuming Hutch is as good as advertised, does he start alongside DMW or Grandison (or both or neither)? I think all I'm saying is that I'd be surprised if Grandison is not in the starting lineup. I'm a lot less sure about whether it will be DMW or Hutch there with him (I'm assuming Kofi, Belo and Trent are locks and nobody else is likely to be a day 1 starter).
I think Hutch plays starters minutes or the most time per game of any player at the 3 spot. DW splits time at the 3 & 4 spot for his 22 to 25 minutes a game much like last year with CH and or Payne behind Jacob and DW at the 4. CH can improve on his so so numbers but he still is likely to back up at least those two at the 4 spot based hiw large the gap was between Hawk n those two experienced players. Ihope Hawkins takes off but its as if he played like Brian Cook or something. Jacob although not flashy played great and I expect him to take even larger strides this season as a perimeter scorer with Ayo gone..
Yes, great looking stroke.
Curbelo appears to have a skin condition.
No just be putting a lot of sunblock on his face, lol.
Are we talking about subbing a freshman for TRENT Frazier? Or is there another Frazier I don’t know about?
Maybe Chester has another year of eligibility
I think the OP is just saying tall opposing guards are going to try shooting over Trent and Curbelo, so BU has to be able to counter that if they are successful.
Plummer too. But, yeah, this. I would imagine that Hutch or DMW would slide to the 2, ahead of the frosh. Great problem to have.
I thought that’s what the OP was saying but I can’t imagine any of the freshman guards already being better defenders than Trent is no matter how tall they are. I can’t recall many if any times Trent was removed for defensive purposes last year. Defense is kinda his thing right?
People questioned DW all last year. He is a starter, because Brad loves him and his skill set.
Frazier and Williams raised the floor tremendously. Proven BIG players. The newcomers and progression of the youngsters provide a possibly incredible ceiling.
