It is. Extremely talented player. Scouts love his potential. I think some questions about how physically ready he'll be as a freshman, though.

 

[TurdFerguson]

Get that kid in the weight room and on a nutrition plan. Has potential to be very good.

 

[Meatloaf=Steak]

Interesting, you seem to have cared enough to respond....

Just to be clear I couldn't care less about your opinion

Is this a Top 25 starting lineup?

No idea. Seems like a lot of length, but not a lot of strength down low.

He’ll be 17 and a half by the time he enrolls for his freshman year. Young, but not super young. And he’s good enough to contribute right away.

Brad Daugherty was 16 when he enrolled at Carolina, barely 17 when the season started...

I think it should be with quality coaching. It requires some projection - in particular that Brown and Avdalas can be much more efficient, especially from outside, with more surrounding talent and lesser scoring burdens, and that Keita can hold up physically as an 18-year-old. But that is a lot of length and some fairly solid defensive raw materials to build an effective two way lineup.

Can it be a top-10 lineup? Less sure about that. If it is, we will have some good initial signs on Malone's ability to translate to college.

No.

We shall see who else can be added, but that is a .500 ACC team as currently constituted.

 

[Zoo_View]

Who is our PG?

 

[Heelsandeers]

A lot of question marks but the pieces make sense with easily projected roles

I think as long as expectations are in order it could be a pretty fun season

Would feel better if they had one more proven shooter/ball handler

Really a lot riding on Brown/Able unless Denis is ready to make a jump

Shooting and inside presence seem pretty problematic. Defense could be pretty good.

Count me as "skeptical", what that means I can be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Gmonet]

Sure. The list of possible players who are likely to meaningfully remedy either thing isn't long. Just saying, right now this feels not as good as the team this past year. Maybe a fair bit worse.
