Next years style of play

It’s probably going to look a lot like this year with different guys. Just a hunch.
Seams like a big difference could be more outside shots rather than dribble driving inside. Could be a lot more streaky. Also, rebounding could become far more important.
5 centers but Grinnell style shooting within 5 seconds of each possession.
Jacobsen, Conditt, and Solo have all played 5 for us and done well. I think we will go towards more of how Texas Tech played their bigs this year. They would start big with Owens and Odiase, but they wound up going small fairly early and not playing those two guys together much. When Prohm says they may play two bigs 10-15 minutes a game that’s pretty similar to what Tech did. They played big to start but went small most of the games.
Judging by what he said when Solo was a freshman, I think Prohm is much more comfortable playing young guards and maybe this team will surprise.
With the guards that we have, I think it's going to have to be an inside out game. The post players need to show enough offense to be able to collapse the defense and kick it out to the shooters. If we're just passing the ball around the perimeter looking for a hot it's going to be a long season.
Dump it down, let the 2 post players work until a double comes. If it does, get it to the open guy. This team has to run an offense, we don't have the skill sets for the guards to create shots.

I’m still not sure why some people are underselling Anderson. He fits what Prohm wants to do with an offense better than Solomon—and it’s not like Solo’s gonna sit.
And Leech is gonna play. A lot.
Prohm is comfortable with running at least a 3 guard offense. We will probably still see s lot of that.
And it is lose...not loose.
Which bigs will play is obvious, in the backcourt we really only know Tyrese and Nixon. That leaves 2 or 3 spots open for a guard/wing. With 3 open schollies its way too early to even try to guess. I don't think it'll end up this way but it could potentially be 6 freshman battling Lewis and Griffin for those open spots in the rotation.
If the light were to come on and Lewis can become a contributor I will be overjoyed for him but after two years I fail to see why some continue to assume it will. As of now I'd call him an emergency three at best.
As our roster currently stands I believe Jackson can be a solid backup for Nixon and Haliburton. However, if we can add another PG all the better to insulate us from injury.
Leech may or may not be full go this fall. Grill would be the perfect compliment at the three.
Griffin is a short big in Prohm's rotation. He, Anderson and Conditt give us three different types to go with Solo and Jacobson the more conventional bigs.
Tucker is the guy that gives us a chance to run with 4 guards again.

Haliburton and Leach both are at 43%. Nixon has had a year to improve that 33%. Jacobson sits at 33%. Anderson and Jackson i can't find stats.
