Having McRae, Richardson, and McBee will do that to a team.

Honestly I don't think anyone on the team is a very good passer. Stokes and Maymon need to learn to pass out of a double team.

A point guard that can penetrate and dish would do wonders for this team next season. Golden is great at penetrating to the basket with one thought in mind, SHOOT. If he can develop a game where he also dishes the ball to Stokes and Maymon, he could double his assists next year. We need his scoring too, but not as much as we need him to get the ball inside.

What's sad is the 2 star recruit is about the only one that can change or tries to change angles on passes to the post. Noone undertands angles and how to get it down low in a way that leads to post to his move based off of where he has position.

As a post player, nothing was more annoying than posting up, and getting a pass in an area you didn't call for the ball.

Stokes and Maymon will be quite the duo next year. I also agree Stokes needs to work on his free throw shooting. Also his post defense could use some work as well, but it's pretty incredible what he did this year as a HS senior in college.

Sounds like Stokes has his head on his shoulders square. Really hope Martin can put a point guard tha can effectively pass the ball and a good shooter or two on the floor with Stokes and Maymon. If so, we could be very good next year.

20 years too late. Whipped Lang Wiseman's tail when we played him in HS, but he gets a full ride. I went for 22 and held him to 8.

Still pissed. Obviously.
