Our big men are getting a bad name because no one but Jabari will pass them the damn ball. They aren't that bad and have a lot of upside IMO. JWIII, Rosburg, and TJones could be really strong next year. Clarkson is especially bad at feeding the bigs, maybe the worst PG at this I've ever seen, although he is good to great in other areas.

Not sold on Post though, he has some talent but he just seems 2 or more years away from being a productive player.

I think Post will play a pretty significant role next year. And I wouldn't pass the ball to Rosburg on a dare.

Did you watch the game last night? Rosburgh had some nice finishes. Hes starting to show some craftyness around the basket.

I did watch the game. I have watched almost every game all season. And I stand by my assessment.

I think y'all are all right.

Clarkson isn't a typical PG. He isn't the best at dishing the ball but he's ok. The offense just isn't set up to get the ball down low very often. I think we did it more last night than I've seen all season.

Rosburg is serviceable but will never be a force. I will say he's adjusting and improving though. I watched him a bit in high school and I will tell you, like many bigs these days, he played more as a guard in high school than down low. Even when he took the ball to the hoop, it was more slashing than back to the basket, take to the rim strong. He was never taught those skills in high school so I think he's made a lot of improvement in that regard. I will never expect big things from him, but he will contribute more every year.

JW3 needs to learn to finish is all. I can't count how many times he's missed from 6 inches away. Love his length and athleticism though. Needs to work on a midrange jumper too because he's not a "physical" presence in the middle.

Jones has shown flashes at times, though you can tell he's still raw and the game is still just a bit too fast for him. Saw a couple of passes go right off his hands last night because he just wasn't ready. Personally, I'd rather see his and Criswell's roles flip. Give Jones and the future more minutes and limit Criswell's court time.
