@justanotherfan said:> If Perry Ellis is the third or fourth best player on this team, they could have a very deep run into the NCAA tournament. If Perry Ellis is the best or second best player on this team, I don’t think they can make a deep run.
I like your thought-- and I would offer a twist. If Perry Ellis is as good as the other top three players and they are for the most part indistinguishable from each other – we will have a great year.
That is- If Ellis, Alexander, Selden and Traylor all average between 10-14 points a game, we’ll have the balance that we need from the core. From the guards, we need Mason and Frankamp averaging around 15 pts between them (assuming they split the PG).
We need the bench to contribute about 8-10 points a game (Greene, Oubre, Lucas, Mick and Myck)
That balanced offensive combination would be adequate to make a run at the NC… IF the shooting defense percent comes back to where it was the last few years.
