Candidates for top backcourt in the nation?
Here is an article…. I think ours could be top 10 by January.

It depends what positions count as the back court and who we play.
I think Reece, IMac, Rohde with Dante and Eli as the backups would be one of the best in the nation.
I also think Reece + IMac might be the best 1-2 pairing in the ACC.
But Reece + Dante + IMac . . . Idk

That’s what I envision with Taine as 6th guard.
I think there’s a chance Dunn and Bond may play a little at the 3rd guard spot too.
My main concern for this team is front court production.
and
End of shot clock or when the offense bogs down … Hoo can take over a bit and go get buckets - or create easy ones for others.
And will Reece be that vocal leader that is willing to tell Rohde - go to work. Or Isaac - shoot the freakin ball dude! Or EG - dunk on their whole team now!!!

I’m surprisingly not worried about end of shot clock. Haven’t seen it yet but I have a good feeling iMac will take a leap in the playmaking department and Rohde will live for clutch time plays.

Don’t want to start a whole Kihei debate, but a lot of our end of shot clock issues were him dribbling around 8 of the last 10 seconds, then trying a contested shot at the basket over two opposing defenders a foot taller than him.

McKoy absolutely blasting those aerosols.
What’s crazy is that Kihei could’ve hit Jay with an alley pop lob to win it against 'Cuse, but it was slightly risky. Sometimes he had chess like instincts with end of game passing (most of the time).

That’s because nobody else had the ability to take the ball and go and score at the end of the clock, which is what has some people nervous for this year. Hopefully Reece can do it.

I have no idea who they play, or where, or the start time of any game, but that’s a great reminder of some classic movies that are due for a rewatch.

I thought it was little odd. “I have really enjoyed exploring Austin and fouling everything with my face.” I mean what is that?

I don’t want to relitigate Shedrick, but …
(proceeds to do just that)
… maybe there were reasons for coach to not believe in you bro.
(I still think he should’ve played more, but the chip on his shoulder thing is getting old)

So, the whole “…haven’t been able to show since high school” thing an admission that he didn’t show it over four years here? Or “it’s all Coach Bennett’s fault?”
Also white-water rafting sounds way better than exploring Austin, but maybe thats just me!
