Not a lot of room for debate on this one
1. Johnson
3. Williams
6.. Mvouika
12. Sima
Johnson is big, he can shoot, he's the toughest guy on the roster, he can guard, and he is proven and experienced at a high level under a coach that stresses defense. People keep pointing to the 8.8 points he averaged two years ago, but he averaged 13 ppg through two exhibitions last year before being suspended, and he was expected to contribute at least that much through the season. I think hell give us 14-15 ppg and bring it on offense, defense, and on the glass.
I love the Williams addition. I have no idea about his defensive ability or his handle, but offensively he is fundamentally sound and can score any way imaginable. As a JUCO it might take him a year to get going fully, but I expect him to be solid from day one.
Mvouika has too many moving parts for my liking. Seems a little rushed. But, he has good looking release to his shot and above average handle from what I can see on him. No idea about his defense, but Missouri State is a very solid program from a very solid conference. He backs up two key positions and was raised as a PG...plus he can shoot the ball effectively and we need that. Impressive addition by the staff.
Sima has great potential. I'm not sure what we can expect out of a 6'11 freshman center. I hope posters are willing to give him some time to develop before writing his career's obituary. AA might have to start off as our backup center (and PF), but it's nice to have a kid that big and with that kind of promise waiting in the wings.
