All good points.
KB did throw a couple of really nice assist passes tonight, the sort that a true faciliator makes. The two I am thinking about showed excellent court awareness and were both the exactly right thing to do. That looks like improvement to me.
It's very helpful that he watched Tomi have his best game in a long time. I think it helps him visualize his role when he sees someone just like him doing it.
Well, we sure changed that narrative!

Glad he finally got to see this team win.

Last year we also had Amani Hansberry, who was a bit undersized, but a beast. Guerrier was a serviceable 4 to clog the paint too, when needed, imo.
Love Morez and Tomi, but I feel like we're much thinner up front this year.
It’s not a knock on the kid … He puts in the work, no problems off the court …
But if he’s playing significant minutes based on what I’ve seen in practice … We’re in trouble …
Brad was talking about playing him 5-6 minutes … That’s probably fair … But he probably could start and be a good player if he went down a level …
I’m not opposed to keeping Rez, White, Boz and Tommi as starters.
Add a STUD scoring PG
If accepted Davis and Hum ( role like last night) off the bench.
Thats a good core with another summer with Fletch.
Add in some athletic pieces and see about getting back to hanging championship banners.

Don't know anything about this kid, but he certainly saw how a center can be featured.
He is for next year correct? If so are we pitching him a three man rotation with Ivicic and Morez? Not sure if he's good enough you need to do that but seems hard to compete with Michigan who have both of their post guys leaving I believe
Gonna be interesting. They feel good about both Kostic and Sarr as of now. Would personally like to keep one of Tre/Ty even with adding both those guys.
I was team tear it down last offseason (I was wrong on a couple of guys), but I do think some continuity while adding to it with a few euro and portal guys could do wonders. If you could add maybe a point guard, two wings, and a big to a solid returning core, I do think that could do wonders this offseason.

Indy, do you see him ever helping us at 20 minutes a game by his senior year? I’ve only seen some of his high school highlights. Is he not a good enough shooter to give us some points there eventually? Or is he just not athletic enough that he won’t be able to defend or rebound at a B1G level? Any chance that he becomes a piece for us as a senior?
Well thats 80 minutes to be shared so for a big man 27 or so roughly is a good amount.
If he would be in line for 5 or 6 minutes a game then he would be ahead of Booth because he isn't getting that many. If so Booth is certainly gone next year.
How’s his shot? Can he stretch the floor yet?
I would think that too...but the lack of a third big man on our current roster indicates that it can be an issue in recruiting
I think BU went 5 out and counted on Booth or Ben for spot minutes. I don't know if they even considered offering someone like Somerville from Peoria who is a freshman at Rutgers and has some size and weight to him. Sometimes coaches miss and I think BU did on Booth playing any 5 this year.
My immediate thought with Ty redshirting was that he is 100% transferring in the offseason. Is there an actual world in which he could stay?
There is a world yes, but not sure how likely it is

I really like Ty. I hope he stays. Of course, he needs to do what is in his best interest.
