In light of the new Youtube video highlighting the newcomers, I thought it would be good to start the discussion of... Which Freshman, do you think, will play the most minutes this season, and why?
Keith Williams G
Trevor Moore G
Mamoudou Diarra F
Eliel Nsoseme F/C
I would guess Williams has the clearest path backing up both Evans and Cumberland and what we have heard about his D. We may or may not play with both PG's in the game so minutes should be available at the 2 and 3. Diarra and Nsoseme have to compete with each other for minutes at big as well as Brooks, Scott and small ball.
Moore could be a sleeper if he can do all the little things right and make a good % of 3's. I know Williams and Moore have two very different games but I do like how solid Moore is when he sets up for a 3. He gets set and his form is really good and his shot is pretty quick from the looks of it. I do not like Williams shot a whole lot from outside but he is more of a slasher anyway. The more I think about it the more I think Williams and Moore could split time depending on situations and who comes out ready for D1 level BB.
Keith Williams will get the most minutes because he can come in for JC or JE and I don't think there will be any drop-off. M. Diarra could suprize- He is the only one I did not see in high school competition.
How many minutes and ppg do you see for Keith? Certainly you don't see 19+ minutes and 8+ ppg right?
If Evans and Cumberland each play 35 minutes, that would leave 10 minutes for Keith. I think that would be the fewest he would see on average. Realistically probably 10 to 12 minutes a game and 4-6 points is where I see Keith ending up this year.
In minutes, right?I think between 15-20 min. a game is about right. More blowouts- foul trouble on starters-injuries(we had none last year)- sickness( Cane gets ahold of some cheese) and even possible discipline (we have 4 new players, hope that all get the team concept right away). I think KW will average double figures for sure.

I really hope Trevor Moore can shoot and defend - but having watched at least 10 South Kent School games last year I would be amazed if he contributes much this year. I really hated the way he was used on that team.

I know it sounds like typical fan infatuation with a new player but many of his games were televised out of NYC. He is 6'5 -has quickness - top 2-3 vertical on the team- played the guard position in high school in the tough NYC catholic league( Brooklyn- Queens) and was the MVP of that league(think Khadeen Carrington/ Rawle Alkins) - can score at all three levels.
