Season Predictions

Paultzman - you posted a picture of my cousin - I am not even on facebook.

Maybe next time you should wait for Zach like you do with all your other information before you post something
You are afraid to tell us who you are even voting for - probably like the dummy Baldi - trump.

Who said anything about Facebook "Schleppy"?

Casting a write in vote for Foad.

Pretty much every kid who popped recently was a Paultz Avi at one point ...

Paultzman - you always have a new picture of a recruit as your picture - when has one actually committed.

Why don't you pay attention or better yet stop posting.

If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve. If assassinated I will not die.

Sometimes Paultz has things up so quick I wonder if he has the basketball office bugged.

I think it will be a rough start before the team finds an identity. I think that identity is Bash operating face-up from the elbows instead of taking jumpers...Lovett Playing under control...a lot more zone and switching of d...and plenty of Mussini.

In order to win games this year the team will need to make games track meets. Get up and down the court quickly and rely solely on talent. Guys like Lovett, Ponds, Ellison, Bash and Yakwe should excel in transition and that type of game could even help Mussini. The more a game is played in the half court the worse it'll be for this team as pretty much every other BE team projected to finish ahead of us have talented and more experienced guards that can manage an offense and make plays in the half court

Beat Syracuse, split with Nova,  make the NIT, and  confirm  the belief that SJU BB will be a force next season.

One interesting lottery ticket is Williams. He looked good on defense in his what, 4 minutes? Are they easing him back or do his 4 minutes indicate what they appear to be, that he's not expected to play very much. It remains to be seen how much our front court has improved. I expect there to be many times where we have to count on guys like him and even Amar to play minutes. Williams clearly has the higher upside. We'll see. Like I've said before, we don't win the lottery often, so we're due.

Besides the inexperience thing the biggest problem is still going to be scoring the basketball. Having a real point guard will certainly help, but again if you need a basket in a close game who is getting an easy one for you on this team?

I think in time it's possible that any or all of Lovett, Ponds, Mussini, RF, and Ahmed could be that guy.  But you're right, as of now we don't know.  Excited to find out, though.

Oh yeah looking forward to the season particularly Lovett / Ponds. Just think some people are getting ahead of themselves by a year or so. Though both Sima and Yakwe have a lot of potential, they are a long way away offensively. Hopefully Ahmed at the 3 can cause mismatches and can get some easy baskets down low.

I wouldn't want to be up 1 with ten seconds left against ST. John's with Lovett, Ponds, Ahmed, and Mussini lurking. Ponds will be a Dwight Hardy type killer and you can't stay in front of Lovett. They have to find away to keep it close first.

Right now I'd have to say I want the ball in Mussini hands to finish

So no one is joining me on the undefeated train???

You sure you didn't mean to say "Right now I want my balls in Mussini's hands to finish"?

Based on the very small data sample that is one exhibition game.  That player is clearly Bashir.
