He couldn't defend anybody last year. If that hasn't changed his minutes will be limited.I'm surprised to see speculation of Treyton Thompson starting. I hope he does, but Ben seemed very reluctant to use him last year.
I listened to Ben speak recently. Two things he said stood out:Tony tries hard and provides some information but...
The quote in the intro are his words not from a coach or player or anybody else.
He has Henley in the 9th slot forecasting little playing time. Just Ben's comments, literally 5 seconds of a team video clip and I'm betting Henley is a significant contributor.
It would be great if Thompson can contribute but if he starts as Tony hints, something has gone wrong.
I'm hoping that Samuels is good. He had some good games last year.I assume that is Payne and Carrington....of course he didn't say that. I just don't see Samuels starting much or Thompson.
Agree that is deceptive.The quote in the intro are his words not from a coach or player or anybody else.
Agreed that he struggled defending last year, and he also didn't rebound for his size, showed no skill at scoring inside, had poor ball security, and wasn't able to put the ball on the floor and drive. Bigs like Thompson will take longer to develop, but if he's starting this year either we're in big trouble or the the Gopher staff develops players better than anyone in history.He couldn't defend anybody last year. If that hasn't changed his minutes will be limited.
Agreed. I know the Ihnen and Fox injuries changed some things but Carrington/Henley will start over Samuels. TT has more to do with Payne just being that good but I could see him get a token start are two. I just don’t see that happening with Samuels and will be surprised if he plays more than 15 mpg.I'd be SHOCKED if TT starts this season.
Would be nearly as surprised if Samuels started.
It'll be Cooper/Carrington/Battle/Garcia/Payne.
Holy smokes!!....Dude looks ripped. Good for him!
Is this TT????? Looks like some body transformation
Impressive! He's put in the work.Holy smokes!!....Dude looks ripped. Good for him!
And a combination of me and Shaq would be a hall of famer!A "combination of TT and Payne" would be a great player, a one and done.
Looks like 30# of muscle was added.
