Someone claims to have gone to practice on the bunker here are the highlights of what he claims

-New Williams looks healthy and dunking all over
-Canty isn't a ball hog and dishing it out
-Tyler Harris most impressive - Posts up and hits 3s
-Harris is legit 6'9
-Horace Spencer is great at rebounding/blocking shots
-Bryce Brown is a great 3 point shooter
-TJ Lang has found his 3pt touch and knocking them down
-Purifoy looks amazing but still sitting out NCAA
-Dunans extremely athletic below avg shooter


Starters during practice as of right now
PG- Canty
SG- Lang
SF- Harris
PF- Spencer
C - Bowers

About Canty, the hype in the basketball side of the AD is real. Guy I know who works on basketball has been telling me since game 1 of 2014 season that Canty is the best player on Auburn's campus

With this lineup i would expect Bowers to play off the blocks more with Spencer working to post. Spencer doesn't really have an offensive game away from the basket but Bowers can catch it and drive.

The addition of Harris and Spencer will alone increase our ability to rebound and defend around the bucket.

I kind of expected Lang to start at the 2. While Dunans is much more athletic Lang is smart and talented in his own right. I think last year he was just lacking confidence.

Having Granger Purifoy Dunans Tahj Brown and Williams to come off the bench will be nice instead of Walkons

I don't see the season starting out like this at all. It is practice.. and they split up. Bruce, I imagine, is working on things that don't require a starting lineup. When the season starts, I feel like our starters will be..

1-Canty
2-Tahj
3/5-Harris
4-Bowers
3/5-Granger

With much more depth, and those starting spots change depending on who we play, who gets hurt or if/when one of our younger guys emerge as a leader.

Wait is that a lineup where I see plenty of size on the floor? I don't know what that looks like....

Very excited about this team. I think it's a bunch that can compete for that bubble spot in the tournament. I also think we can run the full court defense Pearl wants to which should result in some fast pace fun to watch basketball. The real question to me is do we have a guy like Harrell that we can hand the ball late to in the game & say go win it for us. Will be interesting to see
