Yeah I didn’t bother putting Shead / Mogbo / Chomche etc in the depth chart, because I focused on the main guys.
You have to think that someone like Nolan Traore will be ahead of Shead for development opportunities, although Shead might get more opportunities earlier in the season.
I just don't see us moving IQ unless it's in a deal for a better PG. We need his outside shooting.
I think the shooting concerns are overblown.
- Dick
- Ingram
- RJ
- Ochai
- Jakobe
- KCP
are all threats from downtown. You would have 2-3 of them on the floor at all times.
Then guys like Scottie & Black are more like 15 foot shooters. It’s not like they’re negatives. And they are super smart.
Even Poeltl, although he doesn’t shoot himself, he creates a lot of space by boxing out on offense via screen assists that don’t show up on the box score. One of the analysts wrote about his screen assists creating spacing this year.
Again- this is MASAI’s version of a roster build - prioritizing size, defense, playmaking, and intelligence. Then you add on shooting after (see Norm, Siakam, Fred, OG, Scottie)
The only pull-up 3pt shooter on that list is Dick, and that's mostly in theory. IQ is the only shooter on this team that can create his own shots.
