Who wants to see the future of Shocker Basketball?

Former Oregon PG Malcolm Armstead should also be ready to explode next season at Wichita State. WIll be by far best PG in MVC.

Armstead is extremely polished and moves the ball crisply. He seems to do exactly what the coach wants him to do. I believe he will be our starting point guard based on his confidence, his defense, and his decision making. He is ready to take over. DWill and FVV will be backup.

By the way, the coach was allowed to work with the players today... ... ..... :angel:

Armstead is a starter. I think the only question about who starts depends on Orukpe.

I would wager that the starters are either:

Orukpe, Hall, Early, Williams and Armstead

-or -

Hall, Early, Wiggins, Williams, and Armstead

I just can't get real pumped up about who will start games. Actually, I am more interested in who will be our finishers.

In a number of games it'll be Randall Vautravers, Joe Mitchell, Evan Wessel and two others. The two others could depend on who redshirts or shows up...

The ultimate closer is a walk on. I bet we are 100% in games that a walk on was one of the finishers :) The more often we can see Vautravers on the floor, the happier I will be! He is obviously the key to victory.

Finishers, when ahead in close games:

Hall, Early, Wiggins, Williams, Armstead

Finishers when behind in close games:

Leave it the same. I wanted to put Baker into this group, but I can't figure out who he replaces - maybe Armstead??

If it's gonna take a 3 ball you gotta go small and have to consider throwing Baker and FVV in the mix. The early season is going to be very, very interesting around here.

Whoever has the hot hand would be my answer.

The grouping of players and game conditions is a very good idea.

In a close game, free throws become all important. Given this notion, maybe another player in lieu of Carl. Maybe White.

[SubGod22]

My bet is Baker would probably be on the court. I'm guessing he'll be a top FT shooter this year. But time will tell for sure.

[1972Shocker]

No doubt having Randy Vautravers in to finish the game is a good sign. Of course, if we have too many games where Randy is getting minutes might be an indication of a weak schedule which would not bode well for the old RPI.

Of course, what we are really talking about in finishing is which players will be making the plays that put the games away whether that is late in the game or early enough to pave the way for Randy to get some minutes.

No doubt game situations can have an impact on who is in at the end.

Hall seems to play better at the 5 than 4 since he has no game outside of 5 feet. Maybe that's changed, but I see Hall/EO playing the 5 with Early and Lufile at the 4 and Wiggins/Early at the 3.

Rothstein has certainly jumped on the Shocker bandwagon for next year. That's at least his 2nd pro-WSU tweet in the last week.
