[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 277653, member: 1776"] Mainly i want the team to continue to play hard and not get demoralized by the losses that are coming. I'm hoping the FR get more playing time as the year wears on. Doesn't mean the SR don't get playing time, just that the FR improve enough to get some taste of things. Okogie feels like a much more aggressive MGH. Moore is doing pretty well for a rather lightly regarded FR PG. The key for him is to continue to improve decision making and work on shooting beyond 5 ft from basket. i tend to agree on TJ. i hoped he would bust out this year, but I sort of think he likely is what he is, sort of a tantalizing tease. My take on the players. Lammers - ACC level starter. Okogie - ACC level role player (ACC level starter by SO year) Q - ACC level role player. He's really done a relatively nice job this season. His rebounding, defense and floor game are all much improved. His shooting is still hit or miss. TJ - ACC level role player. He's a kid who is an ACC starter level talent, but doesn't always play to that talent level. Moore - ACC level reserve. Has exceeded my expectations as a FR. Likely an ACC level role player as a SO. Which is more what I expected out of him as a JR or SR. Heath - ACC level reserve. He has a strong game once every couple of weeks, but nothing more than a deep reserve type in the ACC imo. Heyward - not really an ACC level player, but he tries hard and is a good teammate. AD - has upside potential. Not an ACC level player right now, has potential as an ACC level defender. Sly - developmental big. Has ACC level size and athleticism - can he develop enough to at least be an ACC level role player at some point? Matthews - sort of reminds me of Q a little. A guy that is likely an ACC level role player down the road, but is not ready as a FR to really play any significant minutes. McCormick and Price. McCormick is the more likely of the 2 to get minutes as he is slightly larger and is a better shooter. Both are more practice players than anything. Sort of tells you why we are where we are. 1 ACC level starter and maybe 3 more that are ACC level role players. My hope for next season is that Okogie and Lammers are ACC level starters. Moore, TJ, AD, Matthews and Sly are at least to ACC role player level. I think Alvarado is going to be as big an impact next year as Okogie has been this year. Haywood has promise as well largely due to his beautiful shooting stroke. if he hits shots with consistency he will play alot. This year is so much about how much can the FR be developed without having them lose their confidence. How much does it look like there is a plan on both offense and defense. To this point i've been pretty impressed with the defense - especially how varied it has been. offensively, i've been impressed we have scored as much as we have. I remember looking at the roster this summer and thinking, how does this team score 50 points. And we will have some nights we don't - but overall they have been better at scoring than i expected given there are no natural huge scorers on this team (Okogie may be the closest and he came in with more of a defensive reputation than an offensive one).
