Isaiah Abraham? Were we even in his Final Cut?

Quote from: Shooter McGavin on December 27, 2024, 09:59:19 AMMaybe Chase takes a Kam turn. Maybe a healthy Norman breaks out. Maybe Sean returns even better. Maybe Owens takes over the PG role that he's already played with the second unit in practice. Maybe James is way more instant impact than his ranking indicates.

Brew,

I hope you and others are right on Tre (if injury has held him back this is likely) And I like this take on Chase, Owens, Sean and James.  It's not totally out of the question that a freshman will have an impact like another James once did.  Shaka knows what he is doing. Taking a brief step back is inevitable at some point but likely a step back is still a tournament bid regardless.  I'm enjoying the ride.
I believe Chase could be the primary PG, with others in the roster playing PG. Chase has played PG role some minutes this year.

I have liked him handling the ball to initiate offense this year giving Kam a break. Not sure how he would handle pressure consistently but so far so good.

Chase is a multi-talented player, however, I don't see PG role or skills to be among his talents. I see Damarius as having more PG skill/potential than Chase.

That aside, Sean Jones, assuming a full recovery, will be our best pure PG next year.

Quote from: tower912 on December 27, 2024, 12:04:44 PMI look at DO, Parham, Gold, and Chase as 4 likely starters.  With the glimpses we have seen and another offseason of work, if ever there was a starting line up that only required a caretaker point guard, that one is it.  Get them into their first action and jump on the merry go round.

Between Sean, Tre, and Nigel, no worries.

Good point and post.

Agreed. I remember being amazed by how comfortable and fluid DO looked handling the ball during one of the buy games.

This idea of "Shaka won't take a transfer unless there are some crazy injury issues"... is crazy to me. I don't buy it.
REJOICE! Eric Dixon has been suspended!!

I would be very surprised if Owens is the primary point next year. He doesn't even play it now.

Is this bait?   What has Shaka said (or done) on the subject that makes you think he would take a transfer from the portal unless there is a gaping hole in the roster?   
Based on Shaka's words, for him to take a transfer, they have to be markedly better, a good fit for the culture, and not looking for a bag drop.

I think you answered your own question. A transfer can be markedly better, a good fit for the culture, and not looking for a bag drop regardless of "some crazy injury issues". It's a small pool for sure, but they do exist.

BTW this made me look up the international player that Shaka kicked the tires on this summer...currently warming the bench for Florida Atlantic. Looks like he didn't fulfill the "markedly better" criteria

We will see, but I have noticed him being eased into that role when Kam is off the ball. Stevie too but he won't be here next year.
