Minho and Goode would pair well with Brown and Reid. If we could get barret or Riley to go with brown, forsythe, and Mingo, we would be a lot deeper at the guard position than last year. Brown Mingo Reid Goode Portal 5 Riley Forsythe Mayfield Rogers Portal wing Portal PF

He’s a little bit of a volume shooter, but elite at getting to the line and making free throws. He and brown in the backcourt would be a nightmare for opposing defenses. Can both handle, pass, get to the line and hit free throws at a high level. If we took him, I would push for the rest of our...

is he better than brown? Seem like similar players but brown is a better distributor.

Nice thing about that is that it limits potential suitors to universities with open assistant positions. But why?

Sign me up for Montgomery. Strong defender, great guard rebounder, and well-rounded game. Can shoot the 3 better, but not a bad shooter. Would be solid as a starting 2 but HUGE if we could get him in a 3 guard lineup with X and one other good portal guard.

If those 4 are staying, we need to prioritize frontcourt. Starting PF, starting C, then SG

Terrible player.

Just no. 7 feet and bad defender is not worth it.

I love Atak. I love his energy, his youthful impact on the game, his willingness to score 18 points in 16 minutes when the shot is really falling, his ability to get a shot off anytime. But beyond 41% 3 point shooting, he was a zero (or negative impact) in all other areas. Bad rebounder, bad...

How defensive IQ / awareness is certainly not elite. More than just effort.

Yep -- get a baby hook or a turnaround he can get off against smaller guards to add to his bag. Get him some lane touches like Doolittle or Osby.

From a rankings perspective, it's less about how many points and more about efficiency. Points per possession and opponents points per possession. You could win by 25 in a slow tempo game, and it could be considered a blow-out with high shooting percentages, high points per possession, etc. Or...

Reid is not as athletic as advertised. He needs to develop that tweener mentality, get his strength up, and be willing to bang.

Let's assume for a second that we get Brown, Reid, Atak, and Rogers back. Brown, Reid, and Atak are all just okay defenders at best. Sure, we need ball-handling and a starting 5 and depth at guard, but in terms of the capabilities we need, I think we need to prioritize strong defenders and...

Yeah. Poor man's Kuol Atak. ;)
