Are we this certain we'll get Jakucionis?

 

[Brosky]

The excitement over AJ Storr was that he was seen as a plug and play type replacement for TJ. He's an extremely aggressive player going downhill to the basket and loves to initiate contact to get to the line.

Comparing anyone else we may get to TJ is pointless as our offense will be completely different. Mayor Humdinger can fill the Domask role, but our offense will be unrecognizable from what we did last year. We have a real PG and true C. Maybe Tre can fill TJ's slasher role and KJ can give us outside scoring and more of a facilitator off the ball when Boswell is in.

Removing TJ and not getting AJ basically brings us back to square one with our offense. I trust the Underwoods to figure it out.

People are assuming we'll have Jakucionis. Is this a done deal?

I'll speak for myself, but I'm probably speaking for others. We got Booth, Davis and White so quickly we got spoiled; waiting on Kasparas tests a patience we don't have as a result.

If we get KJ, believe sequence of scorers will be same as top five listed. Game to game will vary as this year but averages will be in same sequence.
