Jossel will be a primary bench scoring option. I think Mason and Cotton will be fighting for for the same minutes at the 2/3. Stone will still get minutes kinda across the 2,3,4 spots for stretches...more if neither Mason nor Cotton show they can contribute and lock down a spot. I think Newell and Lorient are enough size/length/athleticism to get by as sort of a combo 4/5 off the bench. Vice's development is a wild-card, but if he shows anything we already have more depth inside than last season.
I'm sure some here still want more size, but if we do spend the last scholarship, man I hope it's on a point guard. Floyd looks like a legit 1, but based on numbers Wright and Jossel look more like 2s...and while maybe they can handle, their strengths are as scorers. lack of PG depth hurt us more than lack of size/Sissoko-struggles.
I recall being impressed with this kid's activity and effort in the games v. UNT. lots of upside and already has a season against high level competition under his belt. this is trading up on Morgan/Dixon's roster spot. I love it.
Watch the highlight reel Johnnyeagle posted. Then watch the couple of seconds of tape VS UNT. It's all rim-protecting. I hope he can help! Glad to have Brenen on board!
