Roster

[RUChet]

We have 15 guys on the roster all getting paid and/or a schollie which is money. Yet at best we end up with an 8-9 man rotation which most good teams settle on

playing more guys often means we don’t have enough good guys standing out

them the guys that don’t play most likely leave

15 feels like a lot - guess we ga e to see how it goes

You realize that a couple of these guys were either end of bench types or developmental (Wooten, int'l guys) and not expected to play much?

But it cost money between NIL and a scholie so is it better to spread your money over 13 or 15?

Plus it drives me nuts to pay all this for a euro guy to be #15 and prob never play. Can’t we find some NJ kid to give it to? We are The State U of NJ. Just don’t get the economics.

I don't know if they would have upgraded much by having two fewer players since we don't have access to what each player's contract calls for. A couple of these guys probably have performance type clauses based on how much they play and their output.

The Euro big that came in late, he's 17, I could be wrong, but it will take a year or two before he's likely ready serious minutes. He's going to make a lot more in future years than this year.

The “euro guy” can’t get NIL or any $s from the $20.5M (visa regs).

Size, shape and general athleticism Miteo is the most likely guy on the team to be the 13th man on an NBA bench. Buca is second and no one else gets a sniff. That doesn't make them great or good college ballers.

Buca barely played last year. He’s no Mara despite being the same size. He will be lucky to average 5-7 mpg. NBA? Come on?

Is Miteo another Cliff/obole? One could jump out of the building. One could put muscle a mile. Neither were had hoops IQ like a Myles Johnson

Revised PT projections (conservative assumption Sydnor does not recover to contribute):

At 1 => Lino 30, J Mike 10
At 2 => Tariq 30, Jones 10
At 3 => Smith 15, Jones 15, Powers/Diego 10
At 4 => Buchanan 25, Smith 15
At 5 => Gurdak 30, Miteo/Ware/Buca 10

Lino / Tariq / Smith / Gurdak ~ 30
Buchanan / Jones ~ 25
Back up PG / center / wings ~ 10

obviously it’s early and very much subject to change. Sydnor fighting back from injury. Chris and Diego will get their chances against cupcakes to carve a role. Powers has a lot of work to do IMO to justify PT.
