Worried about next years team
I think Jon Scheyer is most successful when he coaches a defense first mentality. That’s why we only lost 7 games the last two years. I’m worried that the focus on small guards and trying to play fast in transition will just make us regress into one of the many other teams that can reliably score but can’t defend. John Blackwells nba combine measurements have him with a shorter wingspan to height ratio, also he isn’t known for being g a strong defender and now he’s supposed to be our main guy? That’s a huge liability. I think honesty they should have focused on get physical, older bigs in the portal that can just play a strong role to complement Ngongba with Rippey, boozer and foster being an already strong backcourt. If Blackwell takes the spotlight it’s too many cooks in the kitchen and the other guards can’t reach their full potential. And for the bigs, we have two teenagers with boom boom and Cameron Williams and the Belmont transfer who actually seems like a strong role player for defense. I’m worried cause we lost Maliq and cam boozer who both played top notch defense even Isiah evens played great defense. Scheyer has to keep focusing on defense if we want to win, I don’t think a new recipe is going to help us.
