'16 JUCO G Bashir Ahmed

[Mcginnjw]

Can he shoot?

As of right now I see this being the starting 5. If he wanted to start he would have to beat out an underclassman for the job. Still sellable for Mick to pitch him I think. If he wants 30+ minutes a game then go to St. John's. If you want to be on a Final 4 caliber team for his 2 years here come play team ball and put the team first.

Caupain
Cumberland or KJ
Evans
Clark
Washington

I agree with this. Except that it will be KJ starting as long as he keeps going at the pace he is now. No way Mick has a frosh start over a senior. If Ahmed comes here he would be first off the bench, as I think he is further along than Cumberland. He would be a fantastic get like NTS said he would take a lot of Shaq's minutes at similar production and we wouldn't miss much of a step and possibly gain on his production this year. I think it's down to St. Johns and us and those other schools are non-factors. I think we could possibly in the lead. We don't have much luck facing St. Johns in recruting battles but I think this goes our way.

"He is averaging 19.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists so far this year and is shooting the ball at 51.7% from the field and 43.3% from the three-point line." - From the article linked

Trust me when I say if Ahmed comes here he will start and play 25 minutes a game and Evans will also be starting.....

So you are going to start 2 small forwards and leave Senior Kevin Johnson on the bench and top 60 recruit Cumberland third on the depth chart at SG?

 

[jacobkdoyle]

With Caupain, Jenifer, KJ, and Cumberland available at the 1 and 2 next year, and Shaq leaving, I'm sure Evans will stay at the 3. Sounds like Ahmed is a good rebounder, so I could see him and Evans taking all the minutes there.

Evans is more of a sg, kj backs up sg, Cumberland backs up sf

Chad has said numerous times evans will play some 2 next year....

I guess I don't see why that'd be necessary.

 

[Bearcatboy]

I guess I don't see why that'd be necessary.

Because next year evans will be top 3 player on team and Ahmed is just as good. The starting five I wrote is top 10 in the country next year.

Ok. I dunno. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it I guess.

Some of you seem to think whoever starts plays like 90% of the game and backups play 10%. I don't care who starts. The good players will shine early, and earn their minutes. Mick has never let someone with a lot of potential just ride the pine all season. Everyone will play, and often. Just like this season.

Your best players start and your starters play 25 to 30 minutes a game bench players play 10 to 15 minutes a game

That's not the only way to do things you know.

Minutes per game leaders last year:

31.3
28.7
27.8
24.1
22.5
21.8
20.9

I'd say that's pretty even distribution. I bet you can't even guess who the starters were (without looking it up). This isn't like baseball where if you're a starting second baseman, you're going to play all 9 innings.
