In response to Bruno
My starting lineup would be Friday, Cowan, Choh, Gainey, and Meren. That may be the Bears best offensive lineup and they should be decent defensively. And as someone else mentioned, Choh may handle the ball as he did this year, and distribute along with Friday. But they may have trouble keeping pace with quicker guards. Mitchell and DeWolf are the only others who played significant minutes. Mitchell may be first off the bench and bring an element of D. DeWolf seemed to regress a bit last year and has never exhibited much offense. Out of a core 10 players, I expect the top three freshmen to challenge for big minutes. Taylor will add an element of speed to the backcourt, while Moses may offer more offense than DeWolf.
The freshmen I think will make the most impact is Ndur. I was impressed when I saw him at a prep tourney at Rhode Island College in early Feb. He displayed good versatility by hitting a couple of threes and also going inside for a couple of nice jump hooks in the lane. He even got ahead of the pack and threw down a nice jam. There were four guard type players on his team who controlled the ball most of the time. But he was very efficient when he had opportunities and showed the maturity to let the play and flow of the game come to him and did not force his offense. He was offered by David Cox at URI, which says a lot. Cox has done an excellent job bringing talent to Kingston after taking over from Danny Hurley. He just has trouble keeping them at URI lately. I also recall reading that Ndur has only focused solely on basketball the last three years. So he has a great upside potential. He is an active big body who is vocal on D, shows a decent shooting touch and footwork on O. I’m looking forward to watching him develop the next few years.
