Mussini Gone

Quote from: thetruth8734 on June 06, 2017, 12:30:27 PM

If we don't land another guard I think they should start:

PG-Lovett
SG-Ponds
SF-Ahmed
PF-Clark
C- Owens

With Simon as the first guy off the bench and getting starter minutes. The three guards can all play together during the games, but I think it would be wise to have one come off the bench so if one gets into foul trouble, or needs rest it makes it easier. If we land Trimble and he earns minutes and slides into Mussini's old role then we could go back to starting Ponds, Lovett and Simon.

I don't think Simon came here to come off the bench

As long as he gets starter minutes I don't see the problem. 25 -30 minutes seems about right.

Hmm

Look for St. John's to play big at times. Staff feels confident it can go with Sidney Wilson or Bashir Ahmed for stretches at the 2. #sjubb

Staff doesn't have much of a choice

Are there are any grad transfer guards left?

Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world honestly. A lineup of Simon, Ahmed, Clark, Yakwe and Owens can really cause problems on the defensive end with their length and athleticism. Wouldn't like to see a lineup like that get extended minutes but wouldn't mind it for a 4 minute stretch here and there

We have 3 guards who will play big minutes. Even if all 3 do start you can bring a forward off the bench for one of them and play conventional. We have enough guards. Would have been nice to have a shooter off the bench as a specialist but Mussini was only going to play 15 mins.

We have enough guards because players never get hurt.

He's a hybrid PF/SG. It's the latest trend.

Yeah most BE teams have a HS all American as there 4th guard. If Owens gets hurt would be worst thing. That is where we have least depth.  We will have 3 legit BE guards which is very Villanovan but most teams do not have that kind of depth.

Villanova guards play defense. Lovett, ponds, and Ahmed don't. Mussini was not a good defender but he tried.

Wasn't Truck Bryant a three star? Why yes he was.

Troll or get the fVck out.

This is beginning to feel a lot like Lavin. Who cares if you land guys like Sid Wilson if you can't  take care of your basic roster needs. We don't have a center on the roster. We have two guards on scholarship and Justin Simon. We don't have one player over 235 lbs. Xavier wins consistently because they always have a full quality roster. This shorthanded  nonsense is getting old .

Our backup center is listed at 6'7 210.

I agree with the issues up front but what does that have to do with Mussini leaving? I am not going to go crazy about losing our 4th guard.

Are you allowed to say "Fvck" on redmen? Or the boys over there still have you on a leash?

What happens if Ponds sprains his ankle...the season just ends? You can't have two guards and a player like Simon unless you play zone. We don't. This is NYC. We have quality guards growing on trees. How can we possibly go into the season with just two on the roster?

You need continuity and experience to be successful if you don't have Anthony Davis type talent. Mussini had 18-22 minutes waiting for him and you can't minimize that role. No team would ever win if they didn't have a handful of role players.

You can say fvck anywhere. Ask Ricky Smith if you don't believe me.
