The top is FF good, the bottom is National Champion good
Good grief.
How do you not understand that this “FF good” lineup is weaker than what we just had?
Wheeler has been figured out. Teams will continue to sag off of him and he will again be a liability in the half court.
Frederick has averaged 8.9ppg over two seasons and saw a reduction in minutes and points from his first year to his second. While his percentage from deep looks great, his career average of made threes per game is 1.6. He’s never averaged over two made threes per game in a season.
Livingston is completely unproven and not a shooter.
I like Toppin, but he certainly has his limitations and will likely have to share minutes with lesser players like Ware and Collins.
Oscar will do what he did last year, but even when he puts up monster numbers, we can still be beat (even by St Peters).
Your “FF good” starting lineup has ONE three-point shooter. And I’m not sure this dude even starts! There’s actually a decent chance that Cal trots out a lineup without a single deep threat.
