Thoughts?

I voted for Anthony Smith and you're wrong if you disagree.

[Cider Jim]

With all the talent on next year's team, look for Anthony Smith to fade into the background like David Dees did his senior year.

I know that might have been said in jest, but no way that happens. Anthony's a stud and McKay thinks so too. He is arguably the best returning player in the conference. That doesn't mean he is a lock for our leading scorer though.

[TDDance234]

Anthony, hands down. He'll probably score somewhere in the range of 16-18ppg.

[jmdickens]

20.3 ppg....

[jcmanson]

I think our leading scorer will only score about 14 ppg.

Kind of a cheap jab there..there were prob some reasons why that happened..he is a good friend of mine and went through some tough times not all having to do with basketball

I think if we play Marquette TL20 will score a couple in the wrong basket for us

Smitty will put up 19-22

[RagingTireFire]

I want to be able to vote for the MangerDance. I'm sure that YouTube does it no justice.

[paradox]

Smith & Curry would seem to be the most likely.

[Cider Jim]

I just hope Smitty learns to set some screens & picks for McMasters and Curry shooting the 3-ball.

[paradox]

We should have a strong inside game with McMasters, Austin Smith, Jackson & Floyd.

[whmatthews]

I almost voted for BJ, but when for Anthony instead. I think BJ will take more shots next year.... not stats to back it up, just hunch.

I hope not. We will have shooters to burn and are losing one of the top playmakers in the nation. We need assists and defense from BJ.

[jcmanson]

Yeah, we shouldn't need much if any scoring from BJ next year. It would be ideal if he could average 5ppg, 7apg and play great defense and have few turnovers.

[TIMSCAR20]

BJ is a scorer. He can run a team but is a real threat to score with his skill set... There won't be a TJ Bannister in the program. There will be a need to share the assist making duties. This team will have to play together and help each other score. Only BJ and Smitty look like they can consistently create and make shots for themselves of the returners. I don't count anything from Freshmen as a given, even ones named Curry. I hope Seth is everything we think he can be but there are no guarantees. Now if it was Mayo, Beasley, Rhodes or someone like that then I think hype is warranted. This team should be pretty deep next year and perhaps the most talented in the conference. I am looking forward to next season.

[paradox]

It's questionable whether we'll be the most talented group in the conference if Seth falls below expectations. Personally, I think he'll be fine.




I'm confident that Seth will deliver in a big way. He's money from 3, he's versitile enough to play the point, he's getting taller by the day, and he nearly doubled his scoring average between his junior and senior years. He's clearly on the rise.

It should be a fun year.
