Right, My assumption is that guys like Josh and Sandfort will not really be part of the consistent rotation. Maybe their minutes are slightly inflated in my forecast. But my guess is that we will end up with a nine/ten man rotation, with Riley being right on the edge.
I love to see it. I imagine that’s really going to help his stamina.
Would be great if he could average like 4 points and 6 rebounds
I'm neutral on Sandfort seeing significant minutes. I am hopeful that Josh will see the floor for 10-15 a game.
Wow, I just looked. That is some progress, boys!
You are likely correct, my reason for suggesting that T. Perkins starts isn’t a knock on Jordan but from the things I’ve been hearing about Perkins that he has upped his game and has a more well rounded game , offensively and defensively and it will be difficult keeping him off the court. Should be fun watch this team and how things play out. I understand Fran can play favorites on loyalty alone but when his hand is forced by a player he doesn’t stand in their way, ie. Nick Baer, and even Jbo over Williams. If you seize the opportunity you will play.
Agreed. And the first off the bench will be Tony P, Kris M., CMac, and Ahron.
I think that will be the starting lineup as well........this teams strengths have to be their length and athleticism.....weakness is, or appears at this stage to be, 3 point shooting... ..choose a lineup with that in mind.
I think that will be on the low end for Josh. He's going to surprise....
Who are we going to start that can shoot threes? Perkins?
6 rebounds the bench? EJ Liddell averaged 6.5 rebounds in BT play and was 9th in the league. Weiskamp was 6.7. Race Thompson was at 6.1 and 17th in the league. No bench players over 6.
Perkins
You'll have to forgive me if I take a wait and see attitude toward your assertion. The highest percentage among that group was Tony with 33% and that was on only nine attempts. I still think that if any of them (throw Kris in as well) turns out be able to burn the nets from three, it will be a welcome revelation.
Agreed. We have a lot of athleticism and slashers but no one that has proven they are a great 3 point shooter in games yet. I absolutely hope some of the aforementioned players get it done shooting the ball but it's yet to be determined.
Agree JBO will start and probably play to many minutes but Tony will be the more effective player and will eventually be on the floor for starters minutes.
He can fill it up when open but that rarely happens.
No forgiveness needed because while I believe they will shoot a good percentage from 3 the appropriate response is to take a wait and see outlook . I’ve watched a lot of Iowa basketball and most every year players step up and do things much better than I expect. Next year I expect the same from 3-5 of the players mentioned and quite possibly from someone I didn’t so yes wait and see. Hopefully none of us are disappointed
I assume this is a joke. Sandfort is a lights out shooter, Perkins is a fine defender and can score and is certainly not a flop, Connor is not a shooter. 2 out of 3 of your assertions are completely false.
