Go Shockers!!!

[1972Shocker]

I well researched and well-written report. The only comment that had me scratching my head a little was:

steady ball-handler Demetric Williams

[SubGod22]

He handles the ball fine. His biggest problem has come trying to do too much and forcing things in some situations.

Not a bad write up. From what I know now I agree with the starting five. A lot of options though - good problem to have.

Their starting line up is PG Joe Ragland, SG Toure’ Murry, SF Ben Smith, PF Carl Hall, C Garrett Stutz. I think the other real possibility is Ragland, Kyles, Murry, Hall and Stutz with Smith the 6th man.

[SubGod22]

Either Smith or Kyles could start. I'm still expecting Kyles to at the moment.

Based on what I know – I would not, as my first inclination, move Murry to the 3. And I like Smith at the 3 over Murry.

But I agree, your line-up is possible.

I like Kyles but unless he displaces Murry he is not starting.

P.S. Maybe he should?

[Shox21]

Kyles has a tendency to be streaky (even though I love watching him play). TM is one of the best (if not THE best) defender we have. I have very high hopes for Hall. Since we haven't seen some of these guys in games yet, it's a bit hard to know.

Any in game footage of Hall playing anywhere?

I agree as to Murry – and I am very partial to good defense. After watching him last year I just fear he has reached his ceiling. Kyles can offer much more than Murry (he could be a better defender) has showed (and it is not lack of effort on Murry’s part) – I just don’t know what to say but I am glad both man the 1 to 3 on this squad.

Check the recriuting forum. I don't think Hall will be an issue - he can man the 4 and more.

I've always believed the DK has greater potential. If he taps into that or not is the question. DK is a very good defender as well and much more athletic. I hope he has the season I believe he's capable of.

I agree. But Murry and his performace at MSG caused me to take a beat - Murry is a good player, Kyles, so far is hope. We will see but I tend to go with the kid who has "heart".

[Snapshot9]

I agree with the starting lineup of Ragland, Murry, Smith, Hall, and Stutz. After that I think it will be Williams/Mitchell, Kyles, Egharevba/Wessel, Anacreon/White, and Orukpe/Hall. (I think Cotton gets redshirted)

That was about the most in-depth report on the Shockers I have seen.
