Ingram and AJ Jr are good enough. Herb and Petty are good open floor ball handlers, and point guards don't usually get into foul trouble anyways.

I'd love to see Ingram play the 3 spot (small forward). He'd be a nightmare for most forwards to defend and I believe that he could hold his own on the boards. Sorry but Junior ain't gonna be anything more than a spot player. He doesn't have the shot, quickness nor ball handling skills to be a positive factor for us nightly. We need a consistent 2 (shooting) guard badly, but IMO, we are desperate for another post player...one with offensive skills.
There you go, Coach! ...now all you've got to do is go out there and find them.

Did anyone watch Giddens game at Ohio State? He's the key to all of this I think. Someone said he can hit the three. I hate when we play bigs who can step out and hit a jump shot like Kornet on Vandy, so I'd like to have one on our team

Who was the last good 3 pt shooter we had? Charvez Davis?

Y'all need another 2 or 3 not a 1 If you have a schollie open got to imagine Avery will be looking for a Grad transfer wing player

I mean, otherwise yall will have some major problems on the wings

If King could give us anything next year, that'd be awesome. I haven't given up all hope on him yet.

I'd just be extremely cautious in my optimism if I needed two true FR to pan out and still needed to find someone to man the 2. Let's be real, Riley Norris shouldn't be on the floor

I think your team will look scary come 2018, I think you'll like talented but inconsistent 2017. Too many unknowns need to pan out to have a tournament year given how the SEC gets shite on


One big issue for y'all will likely end up being struggle through OOC due to youth and gel for SEC but that not being enough.

If you don't think that team needs a PG, you are the idiot.

So you are saying that PG w Sexton/Ingram is a bigger need than the position that has Riley Norris starting?

I can see sliding Ingram down to the 2, but otherwise you are going to have to explain what you're seeing

All I know is our problem this year is we have no one that can consistently score. We are filling that need big time next year. Collin Sexton is a one and done player that Kansas missed on and John Petty may or may not be a one and done but Kentucky missed on him. Both are great scorers. That's what we need.

I don't agree. Auburn went from total shite to fringe bubble with a rotation of mostly freshmen. We just need to go from mediocre to tournament with 2 freshmen getting significant minutes and the rest being role players.

Also, Sexton is a legit future NBA starting point guard. Auburn's guys are likely future NBA role players

If you can find a solid 2/3 grad transfer, you won't even need the FR to be great to have a solid lineup

Something like this given at least some development occurs should be solid

1- Ingram
2- GT Transfer
3- Norris/King
4- Key
5 Hall/Giddens

I don't think that is a NCAAT lineup for next year, but I'd expect that lineup to win around 20 games
