Elvis and Mali injuries and PT (Playing Time)
I don't believe we can win anything of substance with Mali and Elvis. We possibly could if we pick up some important pieces this off season. Mainly some 3 point shooters and a dribble drive Slasher.
.
This Cheeks guy from RMU is intriguing. Any new pg or guard pickup I believe needs to have some muscle or size imo. Someone 6 3" to 6 5" perhaps.
I think with both of their injuries Coach Grant has a PERFECTLY good reason to limit them both to 20 minutes a game , maybe 15 for Elvis even.
Mike now moves up the depth chart, without Blakeny here (and ((Amzil) . That still leaves room for 1 key guard to move in.
With Brea, his defense definitely improved but he'll need improve his shooting consistency and reliability, if he wants minutes.
We know, if they both stay, Camara and Holmes both deserve and will get 30 to 34 minutes a game. Where there's room and promises (to portalers and recruits) is 1, 2 and 3 position minutes. It should be fluid and AG NEEDS to commit to being open to more and better possibilities.
MS is limited with how far he can get us. A newer upgraded pg or pg by a committee of 2 (or 3 if Mike plays some point) plus solid upgrades at the 2 and 3 position could really create something legitimate.
But I'll believe it, when I see it.
