BasketVols will be elite this year

[Vols till I fall]

I know our offense looks really bad now, but we definitely have the pieces in place.

JP is emerging very early on as our star and you can tell Mashack is developing into a lethal slasher, he just needs a jumper to be all around a dangerous threat, like Josh Richardson

If we can get ZZ to create open looks for Santi, look out!

Lots of ppl speak poorly of Nkahmoua, but I like him. Yeah, he plays soft sometimes but last year before his injury, he was showing out. He will be a main contributer for this squad, also Uros, he just needs to DUNK the ball.

Hoping for a big W tonight against Kansas!!!

I agree with your thesis. We are certainly still finding our way, but the future looks very bright.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I know it's for different reasons, but this squad really does remind me of the typical UK teams that take a couple months to really figure it out. We could have a really good team by tournament time.

 

[VolBricks]

I just cannot get past how bad the offense looks. I know every team improves as the year goes on but man it is hard to see right now.
Go Vol's beat the Rock Chalk Jayhawk.

 

[BelieveTheHeup93]

If the backcourt puts it together we could be lethal in March

Elite as in Elite 8 ?

 

[vols 30]

All the offense needs is Key, JJJ or SV to hit some shots from deep.

Phillips is obviously a special playerand he will take care of midrange and inside with some help from ON, and even Uros in spots.

Loved watching ZZ drive last night. Need more of that

I loved the huge spark we got when Zeigler, Aidoo, and Mashack came off the bench yesterday. I always expect it from Zeigler but if we get that production from Aidoo and Mashack rest of the year and other guys play to their potential we could be very good.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Can you imagine if we still have Chandler running the point? I really can't wait to see Phillips and JJJ on the floor together. Think ORN at the 5 and giving JJJ a rest with Aidoo and Uros as backup 5's make most sense. More Mashack would be good too. I like how athletic the 5 of Zeigler, Mashack, JP, JJJ, and Aidoo is. Scovi needs to find his shot but defense is relentless. We also need to clean up ball handling by our bigs and Zeig if we wanna make a run in March. Most deep team I've seen in a while. Gotta find the right rotations.

Best part of the game was Uros getting the ball 12 feet from the rim and taking 1 giant step and flushing the ball. I'd like to see more of that

Pieces are there fo sho. Offensively, we look very indecisive. But that happens when thinking instead of playing vs a zone defense. Get JJJ back and create freedom in the heads of Key/SV to SHOOT when open. Then UNLIKE 1st 1/2 of Butler game, play inside out with our good bigs ... we will make some waves by tourney time. Another deep team by Barnes.

 

[vavolfan6]

We have depth, but not sure if we have an elite starting 5. Very solid group with the potential of being elite if guys maximize their talent. But right now we still need to find the best cohesive unit.

Vescovi, ZZZ and JJJ shooting 3’s at the same clip as last season and we’re a tough out! These guys didn’t forget how to shoot

 

[CampbellCountyVolFan10]

I believe I saw something in yesterday's game. It looked to me like a different team playing compared to the first four games.

wouldn't hurt if vescovi took a step in. Some of his shots this year have been well past NBA range.

The defense was terrific. A lot of help defense going on there. If we can get the offense going like the defense, then wow. Phillips looks like the guy that can start unlocking that offense.

 

[cardvolfan]

We’re underachieving in 3-pt percentage. It will get better. I think we’re good.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Would help if we had bigs that played their size. They are so weak.

ANOTHER TO…

Stole my thunder, Thunder.

We have beat Kansas two years in a row now!!!!

Bad boy mower Paradise Island champs!!

Barnes can't win the big ones l, right?!?!

@KUHoops, mind if we drain another 3 in your face???

 

[LivinginthePast]

I really like Aidoo

 

[JohnWardForever]
