What are some lineups you want to see next season?
I'd buy this.Toussaint
JoBo
CJF
Weezy
Garza
I think the only thing you can do is zone it or don't guard Conner and double Luka. I think you still get killed, though.Can’t wait to see what I believe will be the starting lineup:
Bohannon
Fredrick
Wieskamp
C McCaffery
Garza
How do you guard that?
Nunge in those lineups anywhere?

I think Wieskamp takes a step forward in terms of rebounding this next year, but yeah I could see the Hawks going back to starting Nunge at the 4 for that reason... although I like Jack backing up Luka while spending some time at the 4 as wellLethal on offense but where does the defensive rebounding come from?

Luka inside. Whenever he can be, I think we saw last year what he can do. The dude isn't human, never seems to get tired.
I'd like to see Nunge as a starter beside Luka when we are playing taller teams. He is a good rebounder/shot blocker and can pick and pop.
I'd like to see CMac when we are playing shorter teams who like to run.
I'd like to see PMac when we are playing longer teams that aren't a physical as he could present a mobile offensive and defensive presence with his height and lateral mobility.
I'd like to see the Murray twins out there getting experience over the next 2 years because they are going to be counted on a lot going into their junior years.
I hope that Joe plays the 3 most of the time. He is the best combination rebounder/slasher/outside shooter on the team, and he knows how to play defense.
I like CJ and JoBo at the 2. Both are deadly shooters and will have teams' heads on a swivel. I hope to see TP coming off the bench to add a little more athleticism and defensive focus at times.
I like Joe T at the point, with Ahron spelling him off the bench
I hope that Big O red shirts and takes a year to let the game come to him. Barring injury, he doesn't need to play and could use a year to watch games from the bench and learn in practice.
Didn't Nunge shoot well from outside as a frosh? Or am I misremembering? If he can shoot some threes, he could certainly rebound better than Connor. Maybe he plays when the opponents have a big and or athletic 4????
Edit: Just looked it up - he redshirted freshman year and played 6 last year (during which he shot 21% from three). Don't know why I thought he shot well....

I didn't say that. I said I'd like to see Nunge start. The others are for adapting to what is going on in the game. I think every good coach needs to adapt as the game goes along.I dont see any value in changing the starting lineup based on what our opponent trots out there.
I'd like to see Garza decrease his MPG by 5-7 minutes. With that, we would see a strong correlation to his FT % and constant dominance. If so, I see Ogundele giving us those minutes.
I think he is a good shooter but it’s probably a bit of a confidence thing. I know that prior to this last season I was calling for both Kriener and Garza to drastically reduce the amount of threes they took after Garza shot 29% and Kriener 33% the year prior. Garza, at least, gave me a big FUDidn't Nunge shoot well from outside as a frosh? Or am I misremembering? If he can shoot some threes, he could certainly rebound better than Connor.

I agree 100% about Wieskamp's rebounding. That was the area he improved the most this year along with his aggressiveness getting to the rim. A lot of people have overlooked the improvements he made because his shot left him towards the end of the season but I'm chalking that up to a Sophomore slump more than anything. I expect his shooting to get back on track next season especially with the amount of quality options we have in the backcourt. Should allow him to get some more open looksI think Wieskamp takes a step forward in terms of rebounding this next year, but yeah I could see the Hawks going back to starting Nunge at the 4 for that reason... although I like Jack backing up Luka while spending some time at the 4 as well
Did anyone think we would ever have this kind of depth, talent, offensive firepower, cohesion and coaching during the Lickliter years? Holy crud, the future looks very bright for the Hawkeyes.

Connor improved his shooting range last year and I'm betting it improves this next year, as well. If he does and develops a bit more slash/drive, he's going to be a weapon, not just the assist guy.
I think Connor improves his 3 point percentage again. When teams have to play him out at the 3 pt line it obviously opens everything else up. I hate to use this analogy, but he is a Wisconsin type player, with an even better understanding of how the teams offense works best and how he can facilitate that. I don't remember what percentage he shot this last year but if he can get that north of 35% (37-38% would be great) that would be good for this team.
We are going to use the Billy Tubbs (Oklahoma) defensive philosophy:Lethal on offense but where does the defensive rebounding come from?
