Lol tell me what?

I’d love for Sanon to come here and backup RJ on the wing. I think he’s much more that than a combo, and I always prefer having two guards who can play-make on the court. I doubt that’s how they’re getting a top30 freshmen to come here tho. So If they are bringing back RJ and grabbing Hopkins, then Sanon is most likely coming in as a guard. Which to me doesn’t replace the ball handling left by Kadary or Smith. No one thinks that’s the only guard we will bring in.

I mean, this is whole conversation even being semi-realistic sounds like an insane fever dream. But, wouldn't you feel x100 more secure about the roster if Trimble was the backup?

Now I’m lost lol. Backup for who? If Trimble was part of that group I listed I’d probably start him instead of Sanon and have him back up the wing.

Sanon is not a backup. Please.

Certainly he’s not a guy who can’t be outplayed. Theres no guards out there you think start over him?

I don’t think he’s coming here with thoughts of coming off the bench, but that’s why this portal is tricky.

Your posts make it sound like if we bring in two new guards you’re afraid we will lose Sim. Need 4 guards that can play ideally one that could play minutes at wing.

The thing I like about Hopkins is that he averaged 6.8 defensive rebounds per game his last full season with Providence. That's important with Zuby. Aaron averaged just 2.4 and often times wouldn't even touch guys as they went by him for the rebound. After you try and control for pace, personnel, role, etc., Hopkins still has around twice the defensive rebounds.

Aaron is a much better defender I think, but Hopkins might be able to be better on 5's with his strength. It's not close on offense obviously.

I don't know if Hopkings and Watkins is getting too greedy, but I'd like that pairing.

If we could only get one, who would your preference be between Hopkins and Watkins?
 
My dream would be Watkins/Hopkins at F, Sanon at SG, and Dent at PG to add to Zuby and RJ. That starting 5 would be absolutely electric!

Obviously Rick will need more ball handlers and another SG is Sim decides to leave but he’s shown he can find some potential studs (like he did with RJ and Zuby) that you can grow in a year or 2 to fill out the roster.
