I wouldn't say use him as a 3, hes a perfect fit for how the 4 is played in basketball today. but we still play the old style of basketball.

I agree with both those points. Still curious how Cronin held Gary back. You suggested he was the fourth option and not the focal point of the offense. I disagreed

when it came down to it, the offense was give it to jake and let him try to be sk. i disagreed with it all season and still disagree with it. the team didn't need to go to that gameplan last year, there was too much talent on offense.



the 20ppg was a bit of hyperbole cause we could never have a guy score that much unless we only had 1 or 2 offensive options again. last year had too many scorers to have anybody score that much on a team getting 65 possessions a game.

There were a couple games he put the ball in Evans' hands, especially in the second half of games. Mainly defensive minded Temple and Houston. But even Houston his gameplan was to abuse the opposing 4's and 5's and get them in foul trouble. It worked at home but the refs swallowed their whistles at Houston. But I still maintain his offense is designed around getting the ball inside and Gary was the focal point of that. Last year we did have a lot of options to score and with Gary's love for the assist (which I absolutely loved about him) it was easy for him to not be aggressive for his own points.
 
Not sure if anyone saw or this has been posted elsewhere but Troy Caupain has got a bit of playing time with the Magic.

With the Warriors having clinched the top seed in the Western Conference, Jacob Evans got his first NBA start last night and led the team with 36 minutes. He filled the stat sheet 11 pts, 5 reb, 2 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk.

Nice to see them reward him with more floor time. I'm sure it's been a challenging rookie year for him, but from the highlights he made some great plays. Looks a ton more confident now than his first outings.

Even if Evans doesn't stick with this team long I think he really lucked out becoming part of this organization to start his career. No pressure to be the best, but you're learning from the best and getting to see how they win.
 
Nsoseme visited UIC (Illinois Chicago) last weekend according to Jon Rothstein.

They were 16-16 last season and 10-8 in the Horizon League, even beating NKU at home.
 
Nsoseme commits to Georgia St
That's sad. He goes from a decent conference to not even a mid major school. He should be a starter there but I don't see how this helps his situation trying to eventually get a professional job so he can help out his family.

Georgia st is mid major in middle of one of top cities in world
 
Yes, a nice city, but a first year coach and having to compete against two other big men for playing time, including the second highest rated player ever signed by the panthers, Jalen Thomas. I know some consider the Sunbelt to be mid-major, but I do not. I think the term mid-major is overused. Georgia State was good when Ron Hunter was the coach, but he's no longer there.
