Yup. If this were a Big league sport and we just traded Q and Des for Foster, Maddox and Conwell i would say we probably got the better end of that trade. Hard to say which of teh 5 players invovled is the "best", but I do think highly of both Q and Des. Its the 3 for 2 aspect that I think works in our favor. And I believe the shooting issues we had are widely addressed. Could still use a stretch shooter.Quote:

Yep. Completely agree. IF Claude was able to get the shooting numbers up next year, it could be different. But for now I think X improved the backcourt. I think a rim protector will be nice. But if they went with a legit stretch 5, the offense would have the potential of being one of the best in the country again. Defense is another story lolQuote:

given the current makup of the team, he's my #1 choice. Garrison from OK St a close #2. top 20 team with either of them plus a healthy Free / HunterQuote:

To do so, they will have to give up 18 minutes a game between them or maybe one of them can also be the backup PG when McKnight is out.
If that is the case, Green is squeezed out. It also puts a little pressure on Swain's minutes too. Although he would seem ideal when we need a little more defense and size at the 3. Swain can also play the 4 if we go small ball, but Hunter and Free are there as well.
There are only 200 minutes in a game. In order to keep guys around in this day and age, I think they have to see a clear path to minutes available. I'd like to see something like this...
McKnight, Conwell, Maddox- 25 each (75)
Hughly, Unknow backup Center, Freemantle- 20 each (60)
Swain, Hunter, Foster- 15 each (45)
Green, Powell- 10 each (20)
Thats it. 200 minutes with nobody playing more than 25 per game. need alot of team chemistry and wins to keep everyone happy.
Not related to minutes, but we just brought in 49.2 Points per game between Foster, Maddox & Conwell. and 17.6 rebounds a game. Pretty insane
I sure many have watched this, but I can’t stop every time someone posts. Maybe this was Sean on vacation?

Too funny
It’s pretty wild the amount of scoring brought in. Threats all over the court. If the kid from Oklahoma plays like his Pitt days, it could be the best offense X has ever had. Who knows, there’s a lot to be excited about.Quote:
