We will see a different look this year for sure having both Sidney and Moultrie.
Over the past several years we have trended towards one big, 4 guys floating on the perimeter for our offensive sets. This frees up space for someone to either work the ball down low to our big guy or make an individual move to the basket within the last few seconds of the shot clock, hence bailing out our lack of plays, movement without the ball,etc. Jamont was the king of this. Stansbury appeared to give up on attempting to run plays on the offensive end because Jamont wouldn't do it for whatever reason. Several players left because of this it appears. The past is the past.
This year two of our best players are big guys: Moultrie and Sidney. Lewis appears to be ready to give solid minutes at the 5 as well. We should have two big players in the game at most times, but if they just stand around under the basket calling for the ball with the other three passing around the perimeter, opposing teams will crowd the lane, stuff our offense and we will be scratching our heads wondering how we just lost to : insert name of marginal school here. Now Sidney might be good enough to plow through a double team and go right over the top of players like vs Fla Tech last week. He was a bad dude the first three minutes of the second half, but he immediately subbed out at 17:00 min and wasn't back in for a while. *see prior posts about Sidney not being good for much more than a 5 min burst here and there. I saw nothing last Sat. to convince me otherwise. Maybe he will improve as the season goes on, but even if he doesn't Lewis and Moultrie are going to have to do a good job moving without the ball, and passing to one another.
S. Smith is not a player. Hearing Stans talk about how he is the most improved reminds me of Stans talking in prior years about how Benock could hit 20 3 pointers in a row, worthless babble. Bryant looked good last week, but he is a little streaky for my taste with his flat shot and awkward shooting style. I am reminded of Ravern going 6-7 from three one night, then going 1-8 the next game when we play a team with an athletic 3 who extends the D on him.
In my opinion, Stansbury needs to figure out how to divide the minutes up among twogroups(Deville, Dee and Steele), then (Sidney, Moutlrie and Lewis). Hood looks like he will get a lot of minutes at the 3 from what I can tell.
Those are7 talented, quality players and with them we can go far. Bryant will get more minutes than I think he should, but then he looked really great last week so I could bewrong. However, when Bryant goes 1-7 and we lose to a scrub team,remember this post and know that we have better scoring options on this team.
In answer to your question about post players. The worst thing Stans could do this season is play Sidney at the 5for the first 3-4 min of the half, then sub in some little guy like Shaun Smith, slide Moultrie down to the 5 leaving W. Lewis on the bench. If this happens, I will cry. It wouldn't surprise me though, especially if our offense stagnates with two bigs down low. Other teams can make it work, some even use it to their advantage?
