yeah thats true
i mean Garcia & Battle will both be pushing that mid 30's minutes.
But Fox? i dont think he gets 30 minutes a game....or whomever is the other front court starter
I would guess our priority PG we are after will get that 30 point range.
The other wing spot? i dont think that spot gets 30 mintues a game either
but maybe thats me more wishful thinking in that i truly believe that Henley/Payne/Carrington will all be able to provide us with at least something as true freshman
and maybe some of it is wishful thinking in the idea that i dont want to watch 5-6 guys getting all the minutes every game like we did last year and then clearly just running out of gas both as the season went on and as each game went on
Both Fox and Ihnen are wild cards. Fox certainly performed at a high level in D2. My concern, is how did he do it. Did he simply bully his way with his superior leaping ability and score on a lot of dunks?
He shot 50% on his free throws and shot very few threes. While his FG percentage was very high at about 64% , we don't know how that will translate at the Big Ten level.
With Ihnen, he has the length and the athleticism and a good looking shot, the question is whether he can add the dribble drive and more muscle to what we saw a couple years ago. And.....can Ben find the right role for him. I personally, like him better on the inside than on the perimeter because he defaulted so quickly to the outside shot and almost never drove to the basket. In the paint, he is able to block shots and keep rebounds alive with his length. I hope we see a much improved and more confident Ihnen this fall.
Perhaps there will be matchups where one or the other fits better but I agree that neither appear to be 30 minute guys.
