How much should we play him

Fewer than 31

@zh00s

how big of a difference would it make?

I don’t know

Or if 31+ is the correct answer after we’ve explored alternatives, then run him on some of tbe stuff that we presumably liked when we saw his transfer tape

[Jerome]

That’s our program sweet spot. Have turned lots of players in that range into all ACC players

[haney]

One thought on Traudt and Bond and Gertrude and Taine’s time with the Breakers

A year off from hoops doesn’t seem to be great for making an 18-19 year old kid better at hoops

Which is why I’m against ACL tears and the NBL unpaid spot in a Covid year and ■■■■■■■■■

Weren’t you criticizing Rohde for choosing between UVA and Creighton?

@Jerome

By all means show me where he’s on an elite trajectory? I’m convinced you haven’t watched him this year a

Can you bring the same energy for Taine then?
You are saying how bad Traudt is off 12.8 minutes a game.
How about you say how good Taine is off 12.25 minutes per game?
#1 on the team in plus minus per 40 minutes.
#1 in True Shooting and Effective FG %
#2 in 3 Pt shooting at 44.4%
#3 in Offensive Rating
#2 in FG % and 2Pt FG%

As long as you’re extrapolating- be consistent

Dave, I genuinely have no idea how my post about Traudt not looking like he’s on an elite trajectory has anything do with Taine Murray lol.

My problem with Taine is not that I don’t think he’s good (he’s fine), it’s that his upside appears limited. I don’t see him as a future building block but I don’t hate him getting minutes either. Playing a low upside guy like Taine over Gertrude is hard to justify though imo.

But again, no idea what my previous post has to do with Murray.

[dave92]

My guess is, the explosion behind him is supposed to represent the Virginia basketball program.

Let’s shut this thread down. And open up a Bass Tech Thread so I can start to stoke the hatred deep within my soul. I need to work myself into a lather so I can be at my white-hot angriest when those toothless cow-molesters show up at JPJ.

Still like the Hoos to play the big lineup if Cattoor gets his spot back from Nickel. Berans isn’t a great shooter and Kidd flat out doesn’t shoot from outside. Expect the Hoos to look to match not only their frontcourt but also elect to get more size on the perimeter. Huge game for the rest of the season. Let’s go Wahoos.

Is it weird to be watching NFL but considering re watching us at Wake?

Also I should have added way earlier. I may hate Wake more than any team in the real ACC back then. Our battles were real. They wanted to out physical us and then they had that incredibly talented con man Randolph Childress. I really disliked them
