Rotation Size and Talent next season
I know it’s so early and we haven’t even seen these guys on the floor together yet but BOY there is some insane upside to next year’s team. I don’t think people understand how huge Boumtje Boumtje is as a pick up. He has been upgraded to #1 overall in the class and for good reason his inherent talent, finesse and IQ are just unbeatable. Not to mention we will have a very similarly skilled player in cam Williams. They are young blah blah but they will lock in, Scheyer won’t waste their potential.
Even more insane is this team could very well run a lineup of all bigs with Ngongba, Scharnowski, Williams, and Boumtje Boumtje all on the floor at the same time — it would be a literal NBA team on the floor in terms of size and close to it in terms of talent. Blackwell, Sarr and Howard would rotate the Williams spot and Wilkins would potentially sub Scharnowski and of course we will have our elite backcourt. Especially excited for Boozer/Rippey to be the pg in an all-big lineup because they bring speed and the ability to run in transition which Boumtje Boumtje and Scharnwoski can already do at a high level. This team is gonna be so fun to watch I’m already giddy for this upcoming season let’s go DUKE!
