Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

[Calheel]

This team, on paper anyway, is much bigger, more balanced, and better shooting.

With less playmaking.

That said, it seems way more balanced than any recent team, with way more experience. Hopefully, the pieces all fit together like they should.

But, perhaps, better team passing.

Just hope we have a floor leader or two. Be a really good year for Trimble to do that. Unfortunately, I don't think he's quite suited to be that guy.

 

[stankeylegjones]

Isn’t he the same as Cormac Ryan, who was a very successful 3 in Hubert’s offense?

They have completely different skill-sets. CR's a much more natural 3 in HD's offense. Height alone is not a good indicator of a player's position. Luka's skill-set would make him a small 3 in HD's offense, given the responsibilities and role as a 3 in HD's offense.

 

[stankeylegjones]

He is 6’6.

Haven't seen him listed as 6'6. His game is definitely not a 3.

 

[stankeylegjones]

I've read a lot of it today, and prettty much everybody has him starting at the 3.

He's been playing pro for 4 years in a good league...dude can ball.

In the thread discussing the latest pod from Sean and Sherrell it's mentioned that the pod (so either Sean or Sherrell) commented that they thought would be a sub. I haven't listened to the pod yet, so I'm assuming it's because they don't see Seth coming off the bench next year. Although, I do think he'd be a better option than Seth, given his offensive skill-set, having Seth come in off the bench.

Luka is not coming off the bench. No way. I mean, maybe at first just like any freshman, just to get acclimated, but he's going to be starting by game 5 if healthy.

Perimeter lineup is going to be Seth, new PG from out west, and Luka, with Powell and whomever else off the bench.

Someone sort of misquoted what Sean had said there, and Ben stepped in to emphasize that a couple of times...I think everyone is under the assumption he'll be starting

 

[4thgenheel]

i'd put money on the starting lineup being this:

evans
trimble
bagovac
one of wilson or stevenson
veesaar

 

[Bigs23]

This looks the most like a team Hubert talked about wanting when he took the job.

I see, thanks. Hopefully at the 2.

 

[TarSpiel]

I see, thanks. Hopefully at the 2.

I think 4thgen's lineup is the most likely,

Evans
Trimble
Bogavac
Wilson/Stevenson
Veesar

Who would you start at the 3 in place of Bogavac?

The only other realistic option is Powell.
