Red Don 2,179 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 The statistic I'm most interested in is Wins and Losses! Twenty (or more), to make 'The Dance;' and (at least) one more thereafter. Norm Peterson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're shooting low on Jordy's productivity estimate. In the last 11 games of this past season, Jordy averaged 17 minutes, 7+ points and 6 rebounds. That was with sharing time with Ed and Michael, who aren't around any more. If you add 30% more minutes to Jordy's line, his numbers will probably look more like 10 and 8. Probably even better, because I expect he'll come back a bigger, quicker, stronger and more skilled version of the Jordy was saw last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My question is who is he taking minutes from then? It would have to be either Thomas Allen or ET. If he has truly bounced back from his injury then you are probably right and im off. Personally, im just skeptical about his recovery until i see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When i first made my stats i had Jordy at 10 and 8 but after adding the #s we were way over in what i expect from ppg and rpg average so i had to trim some #s to get us at more realistic averages. He was one of the ppl i took a little away from. He will definitely be good though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Busch Light 76 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I think Nana is a sleeper. He could be really, really good. I don't think he's going to see a lot of time though, at least this year anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he's healthy, and that probably doesn't mean back to where he was before he got hurt the first time, but if he's as healthy as he can be, he is good depth. So, it wouldn't be any one player, he'd take a minute or two from several guys and help reduce the wear and load on some of those guys, especially the young ones. It's fair to be skeptical, though. khoock 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If everyone pans out, don't see mcveigh getting 19mpg. That's a guy who hill can take minutes from. He won't play the 3 but palmer can Quote Link to post Share on other sites

khoock 1,464 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thats why i added "for now". You never can be sure if there will be a late transfer or addition. However, transfer wise i think we are good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling Miles will play him quite a bit. I just hope the 3 balls come with it, more so than the past. I think he has a roll on this team. With his length, he can occasionally play the stretch 4 as we'll need the bodies (especially in lieu of Copeland's uncertainty) but not sure 19 minutes per game will be justified. If it is, it means he has either improved a lot, or probably more realistically, someone else is hurt or not living up to expectations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you can't rule anything out with Nebrasketball but if I remember right...didn't AWIII move back home over the summer and was essentially non existent? Glynn was probably the biggest worry left and it appears he is going thru summer workouts/practicing with the team. I'd say that's a good sign. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khoock 1,464 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think we all had a good feeling AW3 might be leaving. The wording of his statement when he pulled out of the draft stuck with me up until the moment he left. Norm Peterson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

khoock 1,464 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 After doing some thinking and running some hypotheticals through my head i've updated my prediction for minutes. The following is what rotation i think Miles will settle on and how the minutes will be dispersed: STARTERS Glynn Watson 32 min James Palmer 25 min Isaiah Roby 27 min Isaac Copeland 27 min Jordy Tshimanga 23 min BENCH Jack McVeigh 21 min Thomas Allen 18 min Duby Okeke 13 min Evan Taylor/ Nana Akenten 13 min Ive been sticking with the same starting 5 for a while now. Thomas Allen plays point when Glynn isnt on the floor but plays with him for majority of his minutes. Who ever wins out between Taylor and Nana will get a handful of minutes at the 2 and 3. Jack backs up both Roby and Copeland but most of his minutses come at the 4. I took a cautious approach with Jordy and Duby as im skeptical, for different reasons, that they will be able to man down the 5 for a whole game. I think Zay is our best option to play short spurts at the 5 when needed. This is not to say Gill, Thor, Tanner or who ever comes up short between Taylor/Nana wont play. Bc they will, especially early. This is just what i see Miles settling on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huskerpapa 4,612 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Mello averaged 32.1 minutes per game last year for Maryland, so it can certainly be done. I would hope though that Glynn doesn't have to average that many minutes. I believe if he plays that many minutes, by the end of the season, he will not be as productive.

khoock 1,464 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Glynn averaged 31.6 minutes last year. With his small frame i definetly get your point about him wearing out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
