This will be a very hard adjustment for him. When ever he would drive right to the basket he will now have to drive left to the basket.

Doesn’t matter the forward depth, nearly every team in the nation now runs the 2 forward, 3 guard lineup, as guards now are expected to contribute with rebounding the ball. Johnson, Graves, and Jordan should be starting.

How does this European League compare to others?

If Jordan doubles his FT% from a year ago I’d happily take that. We need to be able to trust he can nail foul shots bc he needs to be on the floor in end of game situations. And also when he drives to the rim he can’t be afraid to get fouled.

Giving players minutes because they're tall and we want to be like the high majors is a recipe for disaster. The Arizona game showed us we need to play to our style and make other teams matchup with us. Who knows what the starting lineup looks like but I'd be shocked if our closing lineup doesn't include Jordan, Graves and Johnson. They'll probably be our top 3 barring a surprise from somebody and should be on the floor together in winning time.

If what you are saying is true I think we might stretch the rotation to 10 players this year instead of our usual 9. Maybe Johnson follows in Perkins footsteps and comes off the bench even though he is one of the better players. Jordan/Segu Graves/Johnson Williams/Grant Nickelberry/Skogman Hardnett/Bertram This is assuming Mballa doesn’t get a waiver.

The Bulls were historically good for the MAC last year. Even if they come down a bit, they are still in strong contention for a top-4 seed in the MAC Conference Championship.. Maybe they don't win games by 20 points this year...maybe by 10 instead! I hope you are right and this isn't blue-colored glasses. I am happy that is seems Segu is developing defensively. That will be crucial. I am excited to see who will be the one (or more) players who, through their play, earn a lot of minutes this fall. There are a lot of minutes to replace. Go Bulls.

I disagree completely. Best site out there. Barttovik is just using an algorithm, and putting out projections based on very limited data in a lot of circumstances for some 300+ d1 programs and some thousands of d1 players for offseason fodder. But is probably one of the best sites for comparing said 300+ programs once the actual games and actual data is around to compare. Wanna win some money come March, visit this site.

I know this list is of current home winning streaks, but in the history of the school, BYU has never lost a single Sunday game. It is literally impossible to win there on a Sunday. Don’t even bother trying to schedule that matchup. Hard to beat that. As a handicapper, I give KU and Duke the biggest home court advantage. Cuse I give a nod to if a team hasn’t played there, tough shooting court being inside a football stadium, similar to our recent advantage of having the most experience shooting in Cleveland. Reason I didn’t bet our beloved Bulls first trip to SU and bet them big last year. love that a national tweeter audience gets to look at a list w/ UB at the top!

Brock worked a lot on his shooting and actually can hit 3s pretty consistently now as well. Not sure if he’ll have the green light to shoot them like Perkins did but it’s still encouraging. Not even just Brock though. Segu is showing more confidence and actually showing off his shiftiness (hesi move he’s known for) and is making acrobatic contested layups. Davonta looks more explosive and his shooting has improved remarkably. Graves is very quiet personality-wise (think Kawhi Leonard) like usual, but looks ready to lead and his shot looks as spot on as I’ve ever seen it. Savion looks like he was severely underrated because he plays at a freshman Graves level. Grant is being completely overlooked by the media because he has Jeremy Harris scoring potential and shows it on a daily basis. Johnson reminds a lot of Wes Clark. Like a LOT. Hits shots with guys all over him like it’s nothing and is a very athletic rebounder. Williams has improved in every aspect honestly. His shot is falling, and his long arms make him a really difficult matchup to guard. Very athletic dunking on people. Skogman is very talented and has a very smooth 3 point touch but is just a step slow on some plays so he just needs to work on his lateral quickness and he could easily be a frequent double digit scorer. Hardnett is extremely athletic and a very good rim protector as well as showing good slashing sense. Could see a lot of pick and roll alley-oops to him. My biggest surprise along with Brock shining is Mballa. Online, Texas Tech fans said he was a project and needs work but that’s not the case because he looks very impressive. He’s strong, plays excellent perimeter defense (he’s been stealing the ball and poking the ball out even on Jordan and Johnson), and he can hit 3s. Long post I know but all of these players are showing a lot of promise, this is coming from someone who was expecting a severe drop off from last season. Haven’t even seen Nickelberry yet but he figures to also be one of our best players.
