OFFICAL Clemson Scouting Thread

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

What do they have ? 6'10 Senior Center who will match up against Myles.....assuming that Clemson big starts.

I just checked their roster, two freshmen bigs at 6'10.

They shoot 34% on threes. Leading scorer is Simms who averages 13ppg. He is 6'8 and 245.

Their leading 3 point shooter is Jersey guy Al Amir Dawes, 6'2 Guard. They also have Nick Honor.... remember him?

They had a good start to the season with wins over Purdue, Maryland, Alabama and Florida State.
Then had a poor streak. Sound familiar?
Ended up the 5 seed in the ACC tournie and lost to 13 seed Miami on Wednesday

Both teams are defensive minded.
Kenpom Defense: Rutgers is 18, Clemson is 20.
Kenpom Offense: Rutgers is 75, Clemson is 99.

I think Rutgers has more offensive weapons. Given Clemson is good on defense, Rutgers needs to take care of the ball and limit turnovers. Certainly a winnable game for us.

Clemson beat 8 seed UNC twice. Only had one quad 2 through 4 loss.

Clemson takes a ton of 3s but doesn't make them at an especially high clip. They rarely get to the FT line. Their defense is based on forcing turnovers

Do we even know how to do that ?

Nick Honor lit up Rutgers a couple of years ago when he was at Fordham

We'll have to introduce him to JY.

This is a wise post that I love.

Different team. We will be ready

Better learn by Friday.

If he is their starting PG, I feel good about having Jacob Young in his face all game on defense.

Guys, I'm just helping the scouting report

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

It look likes Simms, their 6'8, 245 low post player will be matched against 6'10 Myles Johnson. They do have three 6'10 guys (senior and 2 freshmen) but I don't think they are factors in the post.

 

[Freddy Stubbs]

They turned the ball over 12.7 times per game.
Our guys will get more than that. The question is, will we be able to limit our turnovers.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Biggest factor in this game.....NO B1G REFEREE CREWS !!!!!!!

Not even close. 44% of their FGAs are 3s, Rutgers is at 32%.
