Naz is going to be the key to next season. He is a great kid, but he needs to grow up and put the team first. If he does that, his shots will fall again.

I have zero expectations of Burton. He's got a ways to go before he's a basketball player and not just an athlete. Cooke will be solid. I'm really excited about Williams but am not expecting a whole lot next year.

Why did Fred bring him in if he's not a basketball player?

We're after Naz's team play now?
The man isn't perfect, but I can't see how to single him out as a selfish player.

Exactly. Naz needs to put the team first and that is why the shots aren't falling? Sheesh. I bet he's the type who thinks every game in which Naz shoots well, he played like a team player. Just waiting for him to move on to Georges next.

If you look at advanced stats, Thomas and Long were pretty even after the non con schedule. I think Long took a lot of bad threes as the season went on where he really wasn't open.

I can see a possibility of both Long and Thomas to start next season. I don't think Nader starts because he is just a bad shooter and he took way too many threes this year.

Morris needs to get stronger and so does McKay especially his lower body

Potential. Hasn't Fred even said he could be a redshirt candidate or something of that sort?

He's a unique player so I'm excited to see what he can do in our system. I don't think he was freshman all conference because he could just dunk

I honestly think Naz is the most team-first guy we have on the team. He isn't taking bad shots, he's taking open shots, and he made 40% of those shots. Nothing selfish about Naz Long.
