If maker is capable of giving us close to what Vince gave us last year, not sure we need another pure 5. Prey will be improved there. Zuby plays 30+. Go get an athletic 4/5.
I still wouldn't count on Maker for much next year. Need a guy that can compete physically with other 5s even if it's a 4/5 hybrid. Need a guy that we can still win some games with if *knock on wood* Zuby has to miss a few gamesIf maker is capable of giving us close to what Vince gave us last year, not sure we need another pure 5.

I’m counting on Prey to be that guy, but if you can get a big man that can help you you do it. I don’t happen to think a true 5 is a must.I still wouldn't count on Maker for much next year.

Injuries? Foul trouble? Stuff happens? Etc.Yeah, but do you NEED 15 players?
No, you do not. And it will cause more headaches if you do.
Smart programs will probably stick at 10-12 with 8 or so rotation players and leave the extra spots for whatever.
I actually don't expect that much either.
8 rotation players. 3 depth players. That's two teams worth of guys plus a sub. What are you doing with #12 - #15?Injuries? Foul trouble? Stuff happens? Etc.
Leave Zach Brown out of this.“Tutugate”
I could see two Euros coming next year to add depth.PG -

Rick almost never played Prey without either Zuby or Vince on the floor with him this year, even against teams that didn't have powerful bigs. Maybe an offseason with our S&C coach may help, but don't think Rick or Prey himself wants him to be playing much 5I’m counting on Prey to be that guy, but if you can get a big man that can help you you do it.

Starting to think somebody hacked your account today. Or this is just a long drawn-out Marillac April Fool's gag and tomorrow you will return to your usual braggadocious self.I actually don't expect that much either.
Prey looked best in his limited time as a 5. He's been playing in the middle his entire life. I honestly think he was loaned with express condition that he play the 4. The only other explanation is that he couldn't communicate the switches like Pitino asks the 5 to do.Rick almost never played Prey without either Zuby or Vince on the floor with him this year, even against teams that didn't have powerful bigs.

BTW the tell was the use of "I" instead of Marillac. The real Marillac only talks in the third person.
Let us know if you need the hostage rescue team. Although I think these have already been coded help signals.
Might be right, and I have no problem with Prey playing the 5 when the opposing 5 is a guy like Ben Gold. But I don't think we can survive a 4 minute stretch of Prey vs Sorber and we'd be cooked if Zuby rolled an ankle and had to miss a couple weeksPrey looked best in his limited time as a 5.

One thing I'll say is that nobody pushed Prey around this year. Zuby was on skates often, but nobody did that to Prey. I have no fear that he will get overpowered.Might be right, and I have no problem with Prey playing the 5 when the opposing 5 is a guy like Ben Gold.

Good points and he didn’t play much at the 5 alone but that equation could change next to a great rebounding 4. And if Prey wants big minutes with Hopkins here he’s gonna need some time as the 5.Rick almost never played Prey without either Zuby or Vince on the floor with him this year, even against teams that didn't have powerful bigs.

My priorities:
1. Lead guard
2. Switchable athletic forward
3. Big man
