Looks good. I suspect X will be closer to 13 and that maybe Reneau will be closer to 10. I think he's got more production in him, but still a year away maybe and that the deep frontline and foul trouble may limit him some. I've never seen Cupps listed near 6'4"; did he grow? Thought 6'1"?

How do you do your projections: out of your ass or do you have a formula or system?

And Galloway is 6’4 not 6’6

 

[steelyvan]

i am curious to see how productive our offense will be when both Ware and Reneau are on the court at the same time...vs other team combinations splitting them up.

 

[rikki-tikka-tava]

Methinks you're sleeping on Banks...

Who is he starting over?

 

[steelyvan]

maybe not starting, but Banks or even Gunn could shift the minutes and the line-up combinations toward more productivity than when Ware and Reneau are in.

 

[rikki-tikka-tava]

Who is he starting over?

Who said anything about starting? Just don't see him at 9th on the depth chart.

Cupp and Gunn will be our first pg and wing..banks will relieve MM and sparks will backup Renau and ware. I dont see Walker playing much

I believe you can move Banks higher up that ladder. Really liked what I saw last season albeit the sample size

 

[iubud]

I would expect X to be one of our leading scorers. We will need him scoring early until the new faces get more comfortable. Hopefully he won't have to score 20 for us to win.

Have you seen Walker play? For all you know he could be killing it in practice. He sure looked good in the NCAA tournament last year, with his energy, athleticism and defense. He was just stuck on a very talented and deep team. I wouldn't sleep on him.

2.8 pts and 1.2 rebs as a senior last year

Well put, I really like Walkers upside also. He is capable of putting a lot of pressure on a defense with his ability to run the floor.

In Walkers Hysterics podcast he stated that he spent the first half of last season recovering from an injury that hampered him well into the season.

His junior season, he was slotted behind an NBA draft pick I believe, and his minutes fell way off.

His most productive season was his soph year.
