I hope so too. Plus there's always a chance that DD takes a big step forward this year. He showed flashes last season. Plus Hazzard has some talent too.Beachcat97 wrote:Still nothing official from BW, so I'm counting on him being part of our 2019-20 roster.
I just don't see how we would not have Hazzard, Smith and Doutrive chewing up all the minutes before we got there. I mean, I have said things about Smith and think Doutrive needs a jump, but I'd still trust them more than an out of position Gettings.YoDeFoe wrote:Yeah I half jokingly asked that same question a few days ago: "Can any of the bigs (Nnaji, Lee, or Gettings) play SF?"Spaceman Spiff wrote:Green should be fine on any wing on D. Asking Nnaji or Lee to cover a wing on D is the part of that lineup I don't like.billk78 wrote:Forgive me if this is a stupid question...I'm not as up to date on our recruits this year as I usually am. But if Bwill doesn't play is Green capable of playing the 2? And then go big? For example: Nico, Green, Nnaji, Ira, Chase? Or is that too big/slow? I think Hazzard could be productive for us as well.
Now that Im thinking about it, if we went with those 5 whoever is playing the 3 would have trouble defending in the man defense.
Green can play the two with ease - that's his preferred spot next to Nico. Zeke and Stone maybe have the skill to play on the perimeter as a SF on offense, though I doubt Nnaji has the ball handling we'd want there. Lee I think could maybe defend on the perimeter but he's also liable to pick up blocking fouls out there and his suspect shooting touch is tough to project to SF play.
Of all of the bigs, I think only Gettings has viable potential to play SF. He's got the passing ability, outside shooting, and enough ball handling to be a threat from the perimeter (I've seen some highlights of him blowing by defenders on pump fakes from the corner). Likely just a situational use (injury / foul / certain match-ups). Mark Tollefsen played a similar role on the 2016 team at similar size (albeit with more bounce and less strength).

14 months ago, Zeke Nnaji was the 250th ranked player in the class. Now he's a top 25 five-star.goslingswagg wrote:Zeke Nnaji bumped up to a 5-star and #22 overall in the Rivals 2019 class...apparently looked good in the USA U19 team practices and in Zona workouts. Can't wait to see him in action this year.
At this point, doubt there's any other guard out there that's worth pursuing if Williams can't play.ChooChooCat wrote:Here's a new grad transfer offer....

The fact we're adding a back up option at PG isn't likely a coincidence.
Yeah it's Puff or nothing.NYCat wrote:At this point, doubt there's any other guard out there that's worth pursuing if Williams can't play.ChooChooCat wrote:Here's a new grad transfer offer....

I would guess just take Puff and roll with Mannion/Hazzard, hoping Williams is healthy.

Probably hurts our chances at landing him a bit I would think. Still hopeful for him in the 2020 class though.az91 wrote:Puff is staying in the 2020 class and will not reclassify to the 2019 class.
I doubt Sumlin would let any of his players play a different sport.Chicat wrote:Can anyone on the football team hoop?
You already know the deal with Bwill, whether I tell you straight out or not. I believe Turner will be a part of the bball team, but i would never expect him to play outside of blowouts in Pac 12 play nor should you want him to play more than that.NickyBCats wrote:ChooChooCat wrote:Jaxen TurnerChicat wrote:Can anyone on the football team hoop?
Choo, you hearing anything on Bwill? Do you think he’ll play? Also Jaxen Turners twitter says DB/PG at UofA, is he gonna hoop?
Choo you think the Puff decision to stay in 2020 is bad for us? You think we add anyone else this offseason now? Or maybe try to give Bwill a medical redshirt year to see if his knee can get any better?ChooChooCat wrote:You already know the deal with Bwill, whether I tell you straight out or not.

From the standpoint of us ultimately landing him or for this year's team? Guy will very likely be playing his last year in Phx, I wouldn't be concerned either way. It would've been nice to have him on this year's roster though. I don't think that option is even remotely in the cards for Bwill. I have no idea if we try to add anybody else, but I'm sure we'll be open to options.goslingswagg wrote:Choo you think the Puff decision to stay in 2020 is bad for us?

Nothing official yet. Jesus.goslingswagg wrote:
Bwill situation is just so depressing. Fuckin A. We just can’t catch a break as a fan base.

Maybe, but that doesn't change the fact that B-Will is currently on our roster and has given zero indication that he won't be playing.terryarms wrote:You have to be pretty thick or just irrationally optimistic to not understand that bwill won't be playing this year.Beachcat97 wrote:Nothing official yet.

At this point, I don't know what the best case is for Arizona. I'm still one of the thickheaded idiots that thinks BWill might still play basketball. So I kind of hope that's the case and maybe we pick Puff up in 2020.Merkin wrote:Puff may still go 2019
