I had a more robust post planned, however I believe that covers it^^^ Go Illini
I don't consider them interdependent although each can definitely help the other. But I can definitely see scenarios where just one does great.These two outcomes are not mutually exclusive. One essentially is dependent on the other.
Just shows you can't accept that Ty is coming in as the next Draymond Green with six fewer years of development time required. /sHate arguing about a hypothetical, which is what Nance being an Illini is.
That said, Nance has averaged 15 ppg in college. He’s played four years at this level. And he’s a decent rebounder and defender and scores inside and out. If we’re lucky enough to get him, he’d likely be one of our two best players.
TBD..So no chance of snagging an experienced PG to start?
Correct. Any backcourt add at this point will be for depth.So no chance of snagging an experienced PG to start?

While not taking a position one way or the other here, I have bad memories of “players play players.”Another way to develop bad locker room & team chemistry is playing someone over others when their not playing as well as some of their teammates. The coaches should get the best players possible and play whoever gives them the best chance to win. Hurt feelings be damned.

This season is going to be a process...we have so many new people BU will be giving everyone tick early in the year...figuring out what groups make sense when....we'll obviously be better later in the season...it's going to be a interesting ride.As long as the coaches are consistent, I think the players can deal with it. Some players are glue guys and trust the coaches and themselves to get through adversity, and there are others that have a harder time when things don't go smoothly. At the end of the day, it's a business, with a lot of money involved. People on all sides should do what's best for them, whatever they feel that might be.
I personally would like to see coach give more minutes to the bench, assuming he's seeing something in practice that deserves to be rewarded. I think there's a lot to be gained by giving guys a chance in game circumstances, even if it's a little out of coach's comfort zone. Some guys rise to the occasion, and you don't know until you take some chances. Most of the coaches I admire give guys more chances and use it to teach, and to reward effort. Late in the season and into the post-season, that's when it should be about winning and making as deep a run as possible. The talent level has come up --I'd like to see a bit more leash so guys don't play tight.
I would be interested in Osun Osunniyi.Still listed available.....

Just got back from the game & the Mavs definitely don’t need/want Kofi.I really think the Dallas Mavericks could really use Kofi's service and be very productive there.....Mavz have no kind of inside presence (since Tyson Chandler - IMO) that he would give them...play solid defense under Kidd and Kofi would kill it with Luka and Brunson (if he remains a Mav) ...rolling to the hoop
Which makes complete sense. We likely don't need a stud PG as I think Skyy and Epps will take the reins from the start. We need someone with decent skills that won't be upset if he's not getting big minutes.Correct. Any backcourt add at this point will be for depth.
Solid.Summary of the Day from my perspective:
Podz news reaction: College kid goes to California, hard to argue with that. Good luck, Podz!
Grandison update: I would love to see him back. Although I don't know if Grandyman rates better than Nance defensively. Can we get both? If not, who would you prefer on the roster next year?
Dan's post: Thanks for the reminder, Dan! I appreciate you all and enjoyed the thread in spite of a slow day.
Missing anything other than amusing GIFs?

Can't he hope for the best but be prepared for the worst? Coleman was not the most consistent this year. I'm optimistic, but I don't see him practice every day.Not following.
If coach doesn’t believe in CH, then he should tell him to find another team. Not giving him the opportunity to start by guaranteeing a potential transfer has nothing to do with hurt feelings. It would be slimy.
I don’t think that’s going on here so the point is moot. But your posts mentions teammates yet the discussion is about transfers that aren’t teammates.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that Coleman won't have a chance to start. I think he will. But Nance has the upper hand if he comes here.Not following.
