dwtaylor1055 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 If Hunter is as good as he has been portrayed to be, he will start at SG or the SF spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've talked to enough people around the team and they all say Hunter is the best player on the team, including DeRon saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be the general consensus of people I value on here as well as others I speak with. We won't see it until next year (hopefully) but if Jerome is as advertised I think he'll slide right into Romeo's role with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want to see is how the rest of the roster rounds out with remaining recruits and potential transfers to see exactly what potential roles could look like.

Danomatic Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think people put too much thought about starters etc... I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jerome be the first off the bench and log just as many minutes. Truth be told, we have no idea how he’s going to bounce back after this season. If Brooks comes, I would bet that he logs major minutes because of his motor alone. If not, Jerome and Smith will likely see similar minutes. I don’t give a rats arse who starts. The allotted amount of minutes played will be the ultimate benefactor on production anyway. Davis may start, but only get around 20 minutes. Al has an aggressive game and will log big minutes, whether he starts or not. Rob will see the most minutes played, imo. It all just depends on many variables that we haven’t quite lined out just yet. I’d like to revisit this in a thread of it's own come May, once we have a solid grasp on what our roster will look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 i thought I read on here that prior to his concussion, Race was the best player on the floor during practice. Maybe Dakich said that but I know I heard it somewhere. For what he has shown in the limited amount of time this year, I would certainly want Race in the mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFFVETTE Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I can't find it, but if memory serves me correct even Don Fischer said Hunter was lighting everyone up in practice. And Don doesn't have a reputation of being a BS homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I’ve thought this for awhile that Keion start at the two. Rob, Keion, Hunter, Smith Trayce with Deron coming off the bench with major minutes like we saw last night. I hadn’t heard that Hunter had quickness to chase guards off screens all game like Al does...so never saw him as a two...heck even Romeo plays the 3. Hard to see that. Figured Keion was a little more fleet of foot to do that. Will be interesting to see who goes and stays with this team after the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a year older and believe it or not sitting and watching with the intent to learn helps out a ton. That’s not a knock on Romeo either. Jerome will have some growing pains early but will be big time by the time BIG play starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Anyone else see the KB Jr post on Insta and disappear? Was Carolina and Sparty only. Doesn't make sense obviously....but just funny.

StLHoosier Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I just came across this. It seems like TJD and KBJ are REALLY good friends. I hope that wins out at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
