Question:
I am hoping Bacon, Belin, Conley and Hill can rebound, defend and maybe score just enough inside....
Can we summarize the outside shooters we are targeting at the "3" spot?...as well as our chances to close the deal? I think only Hanson meets that description....is that correct?
If that is true and Hanson goes elsewhere, that leaves us with only Costner as a true "3".....and Jordan will have to shoot a lot better and avoid turning it over under defensive pressure to warrant floor time.
Ideally, we'll land a wing shooter.
I think we all hope about Belin , Conley and Hill and with some justification. I don't think that we have to hope about Ryan . I expected him to a player for us from the start but when we started getting him the ball down low around midseason he came thru with flying colors .
Based on the last half of the season , there is no big in the conference that I would rather have the next two years . As much as I like Rossiter's game for Siena , our Ryan could prove better big by a significant margin . The kid has shown that he can do just about it all for the MAAC level down low ; rebound , solid and improving low post moves , great passing ability . And as exemplified by his foul shooting improvement since I first saw him have dreadful nights at the RU summer league , he seems to be able to make major improvements to any part of his game . In those last six or seven games we began to see in addition to the low post stuff , some real potential to develop a little turn around jumper and an ability to put the ball on the floor from the high post and go to the basket . Every once in a while we paid the price as he learns what he didn't get a chance to do at St. Benedict's but I think the returns will be be huge for us the next two years , particularly if the other three upfront provide him more help next season .
