Hope it means we leave minor alone and donā€™t double Wakeā€™s post player. Also letā€™s us do Reece + Minor PnR

I think the hopeful interpretation is that Tony reduced some of the help defense stuff which then makes Minor more playable.

If we do go Dunn/Groves/Minor my guess is the hedges will still be there, but my hope is the post double goes away and Tony trusts Minor enough to be serviceable in iso coverage. I also want this to mean that Dunn will be able to defend more on the wing and switch off of screens, would benefit us immensely if thatā€™s the case.

Why would starting a guy at this point who couldnā€™t crack the rotation against buy teams give you any hope?

I was going to say. Sounds pretty hopeful around here ā€¦

Because he wasnā€™t cracking the rotations due to all the defensive help stuff that is already hard to pick up for a guy transitioning from zone to man, let alone packline.

And hoping that also correlates into less doubling/hedging that generates wide open 3s for Wake Forest.

Im hopeful not because of Minor as an individual but because it signifies a scheme and philosophy shake up that suddenly makes Minor more playable. And also because Im of the mindset if we hadnā€™t kept doubling and hedging and running around like a chicken with itā€™s head cut off, we could have actually beaten NC State instead of crumbling early and then just going through the motions.

Play to Reece and Dunnā€™s individual strengths. Prevent momentum killing and psychological scarring 3 pointers. Let their big score 30 pts 20 rebounds

Watching Blue Cain, Demary, and JAR just cook Tennessee is certainly a good morale booster for Virginia fans

Yeah JAR looks good. Really stuck it out and it paid off for him. I think heā€™s def matured over the last few years.

I know Tony watched him numerous times and could never pull the trigger, which is fineā€¦. But man he really feels like heā€™d be a good fit.

(Iā€™m more than happy with Bliss)

Louisville beat Miami. Georgia beating Tennessee. LETS BEAT WAKE FOREST (or lose really early so I can go back to fantasizing about portal additions)
