I agree with this although Knell could slide in for Wade or Johnson

It also is dependent on Baxter and George developing three point shots. I hope coaches are willing to mix it up. Against really guard oriented teams Baxter at C and George at PF will do well IMO. Against huge teams Baxter can play 4 and George 3. Etc etc

So our guards are Barcello, Harding, Knell, Wade, George, Johnson, and Erickson.

I'm not sure George is really a guard

Indy Coug

He’s definitely not a guard from what I have seen

With Haarms, Hardward, Lowell, and Lee, how much PT is really available for

ldssdl

5/27/20 2:27pm

He'll play the 3, but probably never the 2.

No touching

5/27/20 2:29pm

Perhaps I should have said perimeter player or wing instead of guard then.

ldssdl

5/27/20 2:31pm

Some suggest to think of it as 3 positions: ball handlers, wings, rim protectors

5/27/20 2:45pm

Not necessarily. In interviews with both him and his coach they talked about

5/27/20 6:42pm

Only one of those is potentially playing his spot. Non factor

5/27/20 6:44pm

I'd like a ball-handling PG. Liked Barcello much more at the 2 last year.

Barcello thrived in his off-ball role, but if you want a great defense, it's

I strongly disagree

Baxter averaged about one made 3 a game his Jr/Sr years of HS. Don't know what

He definitely needs training (that he may already have had enough of)

You are free to disagree

5/27/20 3:59pm

I don’t think anybody expects him to shoot a ton of threes, just wide open ones

puntersarepeople

5/27/20 4:23pm

yep, if the bigs want more playing time they will need to be able to hit the 3..

yeah, people are quick to write Knell off but I think he'll surprise some...

5/27/20 7:02pm

4 certain starters, IMO: Harward, Barcello, Harding, Haarms. Lots of candidates

roseyscenario

5/27/20 3:07pm

How is he going to play with Haarms? Can he move well enough to do that?

puntersarepeople

5/27/20 3:31pm

Harward is strictly a low post banger. Haarms would fill the 4 if paired with..

My thoughts exactly

5/27/20 8:13pm

With 40 minutes at the center position, if they each play 25, that's only 10

runnincoug

5/29/20 11:52am

It would only be 5 minutes. Each gets 20 at C. Then play together for 5

No you’re doing your math wrong

Here's hoping that Baxter develops as hoped into that 5th starter. PG still a

I don’t see it

5 to 8 minutes per game off the bench would be about right.

Pope and staff have their work cut out for them with lack of a true PG. BYU has

Forzaitalia

5/29/20 11:45am

"True PGs" seem to be dying anyway so it's not a big deal

5/29/20 2:42pm

Erickson will contribute at the 2. He is a versatile scorer, and plus defender

ayfan

5/27/20 2:41pm

I'm not so sure we'll see Harding running the point. Connor reminds me...

Basketball walk ons rarely do anything. It's not like football. Just saying.

5/27/20 6:45pm

Johnson is not a sleeper for the 8-man rotation

WesternCoug

5/27/20 6:51pm

Let's not pretend there are any guarantees about anything.

5/27/20 7:03pm

The only thing near guarantee level is Barcello will play a lot

You'll hear a loud collective groan from Cougar Nation if (Heaven forbid)...

Harding was all state QB and led his team to football State title.
