Zip Watcher Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I live 30 minutes away from Elida (McAdams town) and had the chance to see him play multiple times. He is not a replacement for Nik. He is more of a skilled player than a big power one. Last year, his junior year, he seemed to be a clone of Nitro, just a bit bigger. He is a ball handler, a shooter and a slasher. Granted I have only seen him playing against high schoolers. This year, he seems to be posting up a bit more and is looking more like Harney. I will try to take some pics and post them here next time i see him play. Great post. Thanks for the info. Somewhat consistent with what I've heard. My point wasn't that McAdams will take post minutes .. it was merely that he may push his way into the top 10 guys. KD's rotation isn't fixed to having a certain number of bigs play a certain number of minutes. It changes every year. There were years where he only had 1 or 2 serviceable bigs. One thing that is pretty evident on this year's club is that all 9 guys can put the ball in the hole. Most of them really really well. As the roster evolves from next year to this year, I don't expect necessarily that KD will have to absolutely have to have another big to specifically replace Nikola. We might see Harney slide down to be a 4, and Tree split time between the 4 and the 5. Frankly, Harney isn't really that much smaller (as he plays) than Nikola. Lighter, yes. I also think things will look different because Diggs likely will play less PG next year if Betancourt can contribute some quality backup minutes. Wild cards are also Ibitayo and Justice .. the team might just get a *little* shorter and be more explosive. No need to worry about next year. Next year is next year. This year is only about half over. B) B) Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalapeño Zippy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I've been curious and maybe we need to start a new thread for this conversation in terms of the team next year. With the growth of Q at PG this year and Betancourt coming in and Deji's talents still on the bench how many players are we going to redshirt next season? Betancourt, McAdams and Kretzner? Should we redshirt Deji to get some separation between Deji, Walsh and Gilliam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's never too early to talk about future Zips team lineups! I've started a new thread, and maybe one of the mods can move some posts from this thread into the new one for continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
