Can Mullin take the next step?

He's lost a lot more in the BE than he's won. It's about the total body of work over 4 seasons which is below average, wayyy below.

He’s banking on the returning players to show the same growth as Trimble.

Can’t tell if you’re being derisive here, but assuming you are—

Trimble came in a pretty one dimensional player. He showed a commitment to working on his body and bringing max effort on D. If Williams and Roberts shoe the same improvement proportional and relative to who they already are we will have two very capable off the bench sophomores.

Wish people didn’t crap on Trimble so much. Not his fault he was the #1 guy off the bench.

Have you seen them play? Are you suggesting their ranking is incorrect?

PG - Cameron Mack (no back up unless Simon and Wright can but definitely biggest need)
SG - Heron (comes back), Simon (comes back), Wright, Trimble, Williams (well stocked as is)
SF - LG Figueroa (no back up unless Caraher is developed or God's Gift delivers Precious) (second biggest need)
PF - Caraher, Manuel, Steere, Roberts, Earlington (well stocked)
C - Kieta (backed up by Roberts)

If this - plus Precious - is what the roster looks like, I'd take it

I think Caraher, and let it be viewed as another shocker, is going to be very good.

I’ve watched a lot of game video. He’s a savvy player. I think he’ll do well here. Eli Wright I have no idea.

Achiuwa ain't coming, dude.  Besides, it's still all about the coaching.

I've seen them play plenty. What rankings are you alluding to?

Not meaning to crap on Trimble. He buses his tail and it’s appreciated. Unfortunately this is a results oriented business. Thus far, Trimbles improvements read like this:

Last year: .358 fg%, 1.2 rb, .4 ast, 3.1 ppg.

This year: .329 fg%, 1.3 rb, .4 ast, 2.4 ppg.

Maybe it’s not fair to put Trimbles development on the staff cause not every player will improve, but who can we say have shown improvement so far under this staff?

Have you ever seen these guys play?

I think we’ll see this starting line up

Mack - PG
Caraher - SG
Figueroa - SF
Simon - PF
Steere/Manual - C

Alternatively I’d like to see them use Simon as a 6th man. We’ll be zoned to death with two guys who can’t hit threes in our starting line up.

I’d like to see what the staff has planned for Roberts, Williams and Earlington this summer. They all showed flashes of being BE players, but mostly they showed how raw they were.

I agree for the most part.
2 questions
Whose fault is it that Trimble is the 1st off the bench?
Are any of the HS guys recruited big east players?

PG - Cameron Mack (no back up unless Simon and Wright can but definitely biggest need)

SF - LG Figueroa (no back up unless Caraher is developed or God's Gift delivers Precious) (second biggest need)

Then follow another team dude ... let us dream

Half of our roster is SFs. Not sure why you think there is no backup. Caraher is a SF as well. He might be able to defend the four due to his size but he’s a SF that can shoot.
