Which freshman plays?

Postby muskieman » Mon Sep 26, 2022 12:56 pm

Will Kam or Desmond get the most time on the floor? I like both getting some time but who will get the rookie shine this year and why? I think for Desmond the key is Souley, if he shows he can play effectively Des will only get rest minutes at the point. If Souley doesn't have what we expect will it be Colby sliding over or Desmond getting more time at the point.

Kam has to be the guy that can fill it up although Souley has done it in the past, which one will do it for X?

Until we know let's speculate a little.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

If Zach is out for games then he Freshmen might get a chance earlier than thought. Sean might go small ball.

Maybe Edwards or Tucker get more minutes. I doubt if Zach is so dumb as to screw his last year. Then again Jersey boys have their pride.

Very likely Edwards and/or Tucker, MM. We do have enough height there so who knows. Edwards showed a lot of promise last year.

The team may go deep if players show they are able to contribute. Sean has used his bench in the past so anyone earning minutes by being productive on the court will get them.

Seems possible both Frosh will get opportunities. Their size offers lineup flexibility. Kunk may have a reduced role if the Frosh and Souley are ready. He will certainly have games where he is a key contributor but when he is off and another is playing at a high level, his minutes will be reduced. Should be a fun year. Can't wait to see X playing in Portland.
