1: Harper/Davion 25-30/10-15
2: Heron/Brown 15/25
3: Purifoy/Doughty/Heron 20/15/5
4: Murray/Okeke/Spencer 15-20/10-15/5-10
5: Wiley/McLemore 20/20
This is what I *expect* at the beginning of the year though not necessarily what I want. (I'd nitpick about Davion playing a little more and Brown starting and more Horace minutes).
Dunbar and Stretch would ride the pine barring an injury.
Also, hard for me to see McLemore getting any minutes at the four.

Why? With Okeke, Murray, Purifoy and McLemore, we have better options at the 4.
quote:??? I listed Murray and Okeke, who'll get most of the minutes at the 4, Purifoy on a few occasions and McLemore as the 4th option on very rare occasions.
Not sure why people think McLemore is an option at the 4, he doesn't have the skillset and is a 5
quote:Yes, i pretty much said the same thing 2 pages back about Purifoy.. but he will still play the 4 some and will be a much better option than Spencer playing the 4, which is what i was responding to.
Similarly Purifoy is a 3, got moved to the 3 for a reason. He may get some crossover but most of his minutes will be at the 3
quote:I don't think Spencer will ever be that for us. It's not his game.
more than capable open 3FG shooter
quote:Yes, that is a really nice way of saying it. It has the potential of going really good or really bad.. lol.
he has the potential slashing to the rim.

Ya, I mean just look at the things people seem to forget
-Purifoy was moved to 3 before ruled ineligible
-McLemore moved from 4 to 5 in 16-17, because it better fit his skillset
-Spencer, not McLemore, moved from 5 to 4 in 16-17 after Purifoy injury
It seems some have forgotten about Murray and Okeke getting most of the minutes at the 4.. which makes the argument about Purifoy, McLemore or Spencer getting playing time there pointless, because if they do, it'll only be in certain situations anyway.

It's like everyone is thinking
"McLemore's best attribute is shot blocking, so let's move him as far away as possible from the rim instead of letting him rim protect"
Who is everyone that is thinking this? You're just being dramatic. Nobody is thinking that.. and everything you've said about McLemore the last page or two, you could say the exact same thing about Spencer, including the statement above.

I'm talking about playing the 4. McLemore hasn't really shown the ability to score of the dribble or much from his mid-range game. If we ran a slower offense I think he could do well in the role, but I don't see him being as successful in what we run.

I know. I just didn't think I'd ever see that in the same sentence.. lol.
But like i said, we're splitting hairs talking about McLemore and Spencer playing the 4, because neither has the skillset for it. They are both 5's who'll probably only fill in at the 4 on rare occasions when needed because Murray, Okeke and even Purifoy are better options there.

It is crazy to think of the depth and potential lineups we could have. Depth that Auburn Basketball has never had.
At the same time, to be a part of something great and a part of a great team, the most important aspect is learning what your role is, what your teammates roles are, and playing together as one.

I'll just say, that on these rare unlikely to occur occasions, I think Spencer is a 4 before McLemore

If you saw Spencer shoot FTs last year, you'd say the charity stripe wasn't part of his game either. He shot 72% this year
Spencer has a decent looking stroke now, he has made a handful of good looking 12-15ft midrange jumpers. Look at the ridiculous amount of open 3FG looks Desean Murray gets at the 4, no reason why Spencer can extend his range another 5 ft with a ton of offseason work
I don't expect Spencer to be putting on 3goggles making it rain contested 3s, I'm saying that wide the F open practice 3s he should be able to hit ~40% with a lot of practice

You mean just like Bryce Brown's FR/SO years where he went 23.8%/24.5% 2FG? This year Bryce was 44% 2FG shooter, looked decent at getting into the lane and playing inside the arc
I don't know why with offseason work that Spencer can't take those rare flashes of slashing ability and make them decently consistent

With this depth, size, speed and experience...
Bruce really should consider pressing with this team. At least with the 2nd team.

Anyone know when we will hear a final decision from Wiley? Seems like a lot of players have announced their intentions on the draft by now.

Pressing is basically useless with the freedom of movement emphasis that started in 2016. There is a reason a ton of coaches who pressed have/had basically abandoned it like Shaka Smart Mike Anderson, Rick Pitino
So there is the obvious exception in "Press Virginia" and Bob Huggy Bear....
Well just watch a game and ask yourself, in a SEC game would Auburn make it to halftime with less than 20 fouls? For whatever reason, officials call WVU games a lot looser

That's the deadline to withdraw from draft consideration

I would guess because that’s what they’re known for and they just give them the leeway. They get away with so much.

That's what I figured too. Just a little BS

100% BS. They will hand check all the way up the court.
