Roster Construction Doomed This Team

Carey has got to learn to shoot free throws. It is limiting his minutes and his effectiveness. He would be a double double machine if could shoot 70% from the line.

We would have won 4 more games this year if he shot 70%

Good example of a Barnes diamond in the rough.

Diamonds in the rough aren’t #1 player in the state, top 15 in the country at their position, mcds AA candidates and top 100 players in US.

What a player did in HS doesn't mean a thing once they step on the court in college. Brown is raw and even Barnes has indicated that. That's no knock on him, he's full of potential. But his development needs to be rapid because the Vols have to get better production down low next season (and everywhere else too). Based on what we saw this year, I'd be searching the portal for a major contributor in the post and let Brown continue to develop off the bench next year. He's just not ready to be "the guy" in my opinion. Estrella is the starter at 5 but we really need a 4 that is prime time ready.

They tried to get another quality shooting guard, but it fell through. They had the McNeeky kid but UT didn’t offer the classes he needed. They tried to get the shooting guard from Maryland that went to Rice ( wouldn’t be surprised to see him here next year. Burg was a stop gap shot in the dark.

Well you said diamond in the rough out of HS and that’s not what Brown was.

The shooting guard from Maryland was NAMED Rice (Rodney), he didn’t go there. He went to USC for a bigger bag, played six games and then was out for the year after hurting his shoulder.

Ament is slow, does not handle the ball well and is an inconsistent outside shooter. I believe he will struggle in the NBA.

Exactly. If ever there was a guy that could really use some college development, its Ament. Anyway... enjoy the D league buddy.
