Three seem like an either or then.

Greer or Green? McAndrew is already guarding threes while green is handling the fours.

Is Pop back and playing the two? Is Fedor manning that spot (if he comes back).

Lot of questions.

Starter needs are for sure a 1 and a 5. Jackson has the 4 locked down with Traudt off the bench, 2 is pretty much stated above, and 3 is a question mark. I can see Green continuing to develop but likely need some depth and if there is someone better you take it


Would expect Greer to play the 3. Don't think you want him to be chasing around shooting guards or initiating offense very much. He's an off-ball wing.

1 - ???, Ty, ???
2 - Pop, Fedor, Shane Thomas
3 - Green, Greer, ???
4 - McAndrew, Traudt, ???
5 - ???, king (wouldn’t be suprised if he’s gone), ???

Lot of key unknowns. I don’t expect Mason to be back, wouldn’t be suprised if King moves on like he almost did last year. And there is bound to be at least one Surpise. You are realistically looking at 6-8 new comers

I think next year will be by far Mac’s toughest coaching job since first year post Doug

Glad to see this. Freeman is a good big man. Thankfully Creighton is head and shoulders above Iowa in developing players and our strength and conditioning is far superior. If he gets to work and truly dedicates himself, he has good potential. He is a completely different player than Kalk defensively but offensively he can run the floor very well which should be a good thing for the Jays. The only big question mark is his stamina…I don’t think he hois going to be able to play anywhere near the 35—40 min Kalk did so many times. Also needs to bring down foul numbers, which weren’t horrible but just shows how much appreciation we should have for Kalk never fouling out.

Nice pick up. Following Kalk is a tough act to follow but he looks like he has some nice offensive skills. GO Jays!

I know you are not saying otherwise, but nobody ran the floor better than Kalk.

Freeman was in the 98th percentile for transition scoring efficiency. I’m not comparing him to Kalk but he was very efficient running the floor.

Ok I must have over looked that in my review of transition scoring efficiency. I was just going to off what I saw, which ai think most would agree with me on. Or not.
