They have been trying to get more weight on him since he got here. That's probably a lost cause.

there is no doubt shaq showed improvement in the second half of this season on both ends of the court, and i expect those improvement to continue into the off season and i think we will see a very confident shaq next season

The best thing for Shaq and the team will be pushing the tempo on offense. Shaq excels in transition and this team usually needs all the easy buckets they can get. I'm hoping Jenifer adjusts to this level quickly because he's always looking down court off a defensive rebound.
Ellis
Scott
Shaq
cobb
jenifer
This line up next year should get minutes together. Not too many teams could stop them in open court.

I think there will be lots of intriguing lineups next year. Not only do I think they will win lots of games, but I think they will win games in many different ways. Being able to win in different ways speaks volumes about potential NCAA tournament success next year
Exactly. The 3 game stretch that Shaq really showed up was when we were making a concerted effort to push the ball.

I guess right after the game, Shaq was going around the locker room and telling every guy that it's time to go to work. We're gonna have a great senior class.
I hope Shaq does but for every Jackson theres a kelvin gaines who every year was supposed to have all that athletic ability pay off,never happened. If Shaq does come in to next year much improved- great- if not we will have other options Jacobs, scott or possibly a spring addition.

I would like to see Ellis and DeBerry on the floor together more, but starting both really zaps your depth
Moore, Clark, and juco big should help out

If Shaq plays like he did the last 8 games I will be fine with him. Overall both wing positions have to be more consistent.

Where will Shaq rank on the team in minutes and points? I'm thinking possibly 4th in minutes and 4th in points.

That's a tough call. Is it going to be a new, consistent Shaq this year or same as years past? Evans has looked impressive in his 2 exhibition games so far and will earn some minutes off the bench. I think Ellis, Caupain and Cobb will average more PPG and Shaq will be 4th- 6th depending on how Clark adapts to this "new" style of offense Mick hopes to run and what KJ does off the bench. I would like to see a lineup with Shaq at the 4, Ellis, Caupain, Cobb and Evans at some point against smaller teams.
I agree it's a tough call. Last year we had 6 players bunched up between 10 and 6.5 points. And the 2 at the bottom of that list have lead the exhibition season in points. Plus I think you can throw Evans into the mix of guys who can score in that range.
So far it looks like the guards/wings are going to benefit the most but I think things will change a little bit when we play real games. Top 5 scorers in exhibition were guards/wings. The top scoring BIG (Moore) got half his points from deep.
We will see if our shooting opens up the low blocks a little
