From your lips to G-d’s ears, I am just ready for the good times to begin because the bad has felt like an eternity.

Statistically speaking, Rideau is one of the worst offensive point guards in all of college basketball:

• 48% free throw shooter (haven't able to find what percentile he is in amongst guards but would expect it to be pretty low)
• 27% three point free thow shooter
• Commits the 34th most turnovers per game among all NCAA players (out of ~1,750 starters)

The 2.7 steals a game (6th nationally) and the 4.4 assists per game (just outside the Top 100 nationally) just aren't enoug to offset one of the primary reasons this offense is as bad as it is.

Jesus....

If there was a better option, we'd see him on the floor but we may see other options more and more soon

I don't think CBG is going to call it a "lost season" just yet if ever.    We need the freshman to come in ready to go next year.   Castaneda is a better free throw shooter than Q, but then again ... so am I

I'm thinking Anderson and Yetna need to be on the floor together more often than not.  Brown needs to go to the bench as well

Totally agree. This is the starting five I'd liked to see next year:

PG Casteneda (to start the season) and Murphy to end the season (unless he outplays Casteneda from the start)

SG Collins (Dawson back up but would like to see him ultimately push Collins to the 3)

SF Brown (Williams back up)

PF Yetna (Anderson back up)

C Durr (Okpomo back up)

 

That leaves Mack as our 11th man. This should be a very deep team next year.

If Mack doesn't transfer I'd rather have him backing up Durr. Mack will provide some offense. Okpomo is a rim runner who scores on put backs mostly when I watch Oak Hill Academy. Mack is more skilled. If he is with the team next year I expect Mack to be in even better shape than he is now.

Also, you left out Chapman and Akec.

Was thinking the same about Mack, but not thrilled with the several references to him transferring. Is something up?

They both play facing the basket so will be tough from a spacing perspective, but I can see them easing Yetna back in which shoud give Anderson plenty of minutes to integrate into the team.

CBG's job to figure it out

I think its just projecting where he lands from a minutes perspective with the projected roster for next year, with Yetna returning and Anderson and Okpomo added to the roster. Without Yetna out, Mack is only averaging 9 minutes a game so I could see his minutes falling even more next year.

While on one hand It'd be nice if Okpomo was that good as a true freshman to take minutes away from Mack with a year in the system and the weight room but for some reason I just feel a special kindred with the kid and hope he improves enough to become a factor next year.
