Always a good day when we get to watch the Cyclones at Hilton!
I'll be watching the post player splits. Conditt really looked good Saturday and I am of the opinion he'll be starting eventually. Doubt it is tonight as Prohm hasn't made quick lineup changes especially for upperclassmen. I will be watching the minute split though. Having a split of Conditt/Jacobson and Young/Griffin would give the Post Defense and have some PF stretch scoring. I am a bit concerned the current MJ/SY doesn't offer that and hurts driving lanes.
Tre was playing good on ball defense Saturday, hopefully he get some shots to fall to support his confidence and get comfortable in Hilton and solidify the 6th man role. Bolton looked good on offense but struggled on defense, could have been a step slow due to his hamstring injury. I'd like to see him improve there.
Finally, Hali being aggressive from the jump. Get the team started of hot and build a lead so we can get the deeper depth players especially Grill some run.

I like your take on the SY/MJ split. a small forward like Zion griffen might give more options while solo is in the game. And yeah I’m interested to see grill in real action.
Is Zion a better stretch than Jacobson?
I’d like to see more Jacobson/Conditt, simply because Conditt needs more time.
He’s more athletic and is a heck of a lot more likely to create his own shot than Jacobson.
I think Zion is a better stretch 4 just due to his ability to guard quicker 4's on defense. He doesn't need an eraser like Conditt behind him.
Which would make Jacobson play a lot more freely guarding perimeter players as well.
He’s more athletic, which should help on defense, but are we watching the same Zion on offense? He’s got a ways to go before he’s a heck of a lot better than Jacobson at anything on offense imo. Even his advantage on defense is theoretical right now.
I would expect the Jacobson conditt duo to look a lot like the Jacobson solo duo. Ball will stick because a G or Wing isn’t going to get burned By MJ
Came here to post about German and how we should all expect him to be that guy on the opposing team that seemingly can't miss. Dude is a bucket getter, and has been doing it consistently for years.
His defense isn’t that much better imo. Hopefully it improves.
He’s a good role player off the bench imo. Conditt on the other hand needs more equitable playing time as the starters.
I would agree with that. I think he has more potential to be able to guard quicker 4's, but you are right he isn't quite there yet. Also for as much love as he has gotten for offensive rebounds I think Jacobson is still better at that as well.
Does that change with a 6’6” forward that can’t yet dribble like a wing and hasn’t proven to be a better shooter? Zion’s more ready value is on defense, but he’s still learning. If a guard is on Jacobson, we shouldn’t be having him outside anyways.
My good buddies dad was born in DeKalb as well (go barbs!) and he dated Cindy Crawford in HS...
They broke up. He went on to play QB at Arizona and marry a cheerleader and has college level and beyond athletes for children, it's all very annoying.
