True. Maybe talent wasn't the right word. Top to bottom, I think next year's roster will be the most talented we have had. I used the wrong word.

We've got the guy to harness that and stay on this side of the edge. We'll take the "breathtaking" part and run with it.
It's also kind of a foregone conclusion that his shooting and shot selection will improve from working with Fred.
Having said that, Hoiberg lets players play through their difficulties. He showed that he isn't afraid to let Lucious go out and play his game, even if it results in bad shots and turnovers. As the season went on, he became much better as a team player without losing his personal edge. Amazing ability to coach players like this. I'm sure this really helped Lucious be glad to finish his career with Hoiberg rather than Izzo.
I also predict multiple threads saying bench this guy he's out of control and wishing we had KL back.
For me it has nothing to do with Kane. I wish we had KL back no matter what.
Not just ANY tournament. A third straight post-season tournament.

My fav is how it's all about the 25 win total and this automatic 7 win increase every year. As if almost every real tourney team wouldn't have added wins to their season if they got to play some bonus home games against Grassy Meadow University.
Agreed.
I think we all know who the top seven or eight will be in minutes played, but it may take Fred even longer this year to find the right lineup combinations. Once he does though I think we'll have enough depth to find a way to get back to the tournament. By the way, I can't believe I just typed that with all the talent we lost from last year.
Yeah, I guess I don't get the nay-sayers on some other sites and blogs that think he's a selfish, immature player. Maybe a couple years ago - but come on. He was being asked to shoulder the whole team himself, and yet he STILL averages 7.0 assists per game? Coupled with the comments he made about liking to get his teammates the ball and being good with playing the 1? I dunno. Sounds to me like we have a gem here and Fred will make him NBA worthy.
It's hard to compare stats without knowing a lot about the talent around him, who he played against, and the coach of Marshall.
I think he's a big PG, who can get to the hole and distribute. He won't have to be all world in our system from a scoring standpoint. If he can play D, stay in control with the ball, get to the hoop (and foul line), distribute to open shooters, he'll do very well.
I see him jump starting our offense by getting to the foul line when we're stagnant. I see us scoring less, but playing better D.
He will likely get Thomas, Bluford and SDW some very open 3's given his ability to get to the rack. Niang too.
