AT Starting Next Year?

rick.....a 2 has to be able to dribble the ball in high traffic.....TW can not do this.....at best he is a 3! No predicting here just facts from watching all the games!

My main problem with the team this year was ball-handling........if another team pressed the Braves only DR-JC-AW or SM had the ability to handle it......no other player on the team has ball-handling skills......hopefully next year we will be adding some ball handlers with the new class!

A lot of people are making comments about getting more size on the court. I think it's just a year or two away. I think Les' goal is to recruit 4's that have size and shooting ability (Sommerville, Egolf) so we can stretch the floor. Then he wants to put a quality 5 in the middle to draw doubles and kick it out to shooters, or make teams pay for playing him 1-on-1. Both the 4 and the 5 need to be quick and agile so as to not slow down our uptempo offense.

On paper I think that Egolf and AT fit those goals really well...it's just a matter of development and how they actually perform.

I am with you on this rotation, this way will we always have two bigs on the floor and two big guards. And if everyone you mentioned plays we will have fresh legs left for the end of year push Hope we still get a chance for an end of year push this year, I think we will

Why do people keep refering to TW as a BIG. He is 6'5 and should play the 3. And this is why! He can shoot the 3, he can handle the ball, he can go to the basket, he can run the court and he could help two bigs rebound. He played out of position this year. (6'5 jumping center and playing power foward) Give me a break!!! We just got our ************ kicked on the boards this year!!!!!!!!!
Play the guy where he should and where he can help the most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People keep referring to Theron as a big because that's where he played this year. No one is going to disagree with you that he is an ideal three guard. This year we just didin't have the option of playing him there because of a soft and shallow front court. He will get his shot next year and should blow up as a fulltime 3.

By the way he can't actually handle the ball. He can get to the rack from 20 feet but that's much different than "handling the ball". I think that's the one major area of improvement for him in the summer as long as his free throw shooting at the end of the year holds up.

I was at Haussler this afternoon playing basketball with a bunch of people and on the court next to us, BU was practicing. So when I could I took a glance over to see what they were doing. I watched AT for a little while and I can tell you that I liked what I saw. He looked really smooth around the basket and was able to hold is ground well when they did a drill with someone pushing him from behind. I gotta say that seeing that today made me excited to watch him play.
