    Come Tournament time, we'll be close to unstoppable.

    Kingston is going to be a top 5 pick.

    Is there any way Ferntits can pay that kid enough to get him to stay four years?

    yeah definitely missing Robert’s more than I would’ve expected with Cenac coming in. When the game got grindy, he had a surprisingly reliable post/back to the basket bag. Cenac is obviously more physically gifted, but his offense isn’t as advanced as I thought it might be - would love to see him on the team another year but he’ll probably be a first round pick regardless.

    I like Cenac's Tim Duncan haircut. Now if only he could develop TD's game... That high-release bank shot was unstoppable.

    Don't think it is a matter of advanced. I think it is more of a difference in style of play. Jwan was comfortable and liked to play with his back to the basket whereas Cenac plays almost 100% of the time facing the basket. I think the most physical we will see Cenac play will be follow up dunks, alley oops, and properly threaded passes like KF set him up with a couple of times last night.

    I would love for him to develop an inside game similar to Jwan's where he backs his defender down but it does not appear to be something he is comfortable doing. He has the size and I would think the coaching staff has tried to work with him on it. Adding an inside game to his mid range jumpers would make him and the team better. Hope he can figure it out but I think like KF he is gone after this year.

    Damn, I can never find this thread!

    Great game last night. Got some revenge on TT on national TV and did it in the Phi Slama Jama unis. They should make those the full time unis IMO.

    This would be a muh HASSIVE get



    And if not, this would be another muh HASSIVE get ... his teammate at Prolific Prep (Jalen Green's alma mater)



    Getting both could cause structural issues at UH. lol.

    This was more of our classic game with suffocating defense and questionable scoring, but the difference was The nba talent to reliably close. If we can keep up the D, the offense should come around and make us as difficult to beat like last year. Not there yet, but looking better.
