I just feel like most of them are guys who are going to be very good by their junior/senior years.


I definitely understand that line of thinking. Ultimately it comes down to 3 freshmen I am probably higher on than most.

Powell, Cooper, and Thor.

If those 3 can provide a real scoring punch, we have a chance to be pretty good. If not, we will struggle to put up points in a lot of games. I think the margins are pretty big for how this season could go.

I think guys like Flanigan, Cambridge, and Jaylin will all take a step forward and be solid but I don't think they have huge ceilings (except maybe Cambridge)

I think a lot of you are underestimating Turbo. Hard to say that with any confidence with practices closed due to Covid but the bits and pieces that do leak out suggest he's the favorite to start at the 2. We definitely need him to step up especially defensively. He and Cooper are the only 2 with the lateral quickness to stay in front of most guards in the conference. I'm not saying Flannigan, Cambridge and Powell aren't good athletes but at their height I worry about them defending against smaller guards. I don't see Johnson as anything other than a spot up shooter.
