Our best players in order

[Johnny_Jeepers]

1. Momcilovic - still our go-to

2. Mason Williams - just flatout the best basketball player on the team. he is so overlooked.

3. N'Diaye - just too unique of a combination of... things. highest ceiling.

4. Wilkins - so raw and junkey at times, but the flashes are hot

5. Kepnang - i'm sorry but i just think this guy is our best center. malachi just looks so unthreatening on boards and d.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

As of right now, probably. Wait till we get our injured players back and we'll have to reevaluate

 

[RunninRichie]

Zoom is gonna blow this team apart

 

[HolySmokes]

Mason Williams is the most important player this season. Also maybe the best player. Mom is a good shooter. Needs to be a rebounder.

 

[ORCAT102521]

Mason Williams starts.
Mom needs sets run for him.
Disappointed that we are not getting him more shots.

 

[WallMash]

Disagree with OP on Moreno, he deserves more minutes that Kepang for sure.

 

[TFCat11]

Man, Mason Williams (and his Dad) were a get! Dude is going to have to get paid next season! Some heavy hitters will come after both!

 

[UK_Kelly]

Moreno better than Kepper but agree with the rest

 

[HolySmokes]

Zoom is gonna blow this team apart

He dont care.he touched money already.

Hes a cry baby. Take that weak shitt back to Washington. Drop Pope off in Utah on the way.

 

[UKCowboys]

1 Momcilovic
2 Williams
3 Wilkins
4 Moreno
5 N'Diaye
6 Kam

Hot take… I’d take M. Williams over any other freshman guard in the country… Yes, over Rippey and Smith Jr!

 

[chattanooga_wildcat]

I agree with the OP. He nailed it.

He's pretty cool too. I wish I could be like a close friend of his.

He is tough and savvy. I think he only gets better and better as the season goes on

Zoom is gonna blow this team apart

I thought zoom was fine. The most important thing I see is the same issue we have every year. Nobody freaking moves on offense. Where there's pressure on the pg he has nobody to pass the ball to because they are standing watching. It's the main reason Iowa St ran us out of the gym last year and people throw that on the pg when it's not on him at all. I like zoom and time will tell
Mason and Wilkins are going to be fun to watch.
Milan is the best shooter I've ever seen, but he gives you nothing else. He can't move and to be completely honest he looks uninterested and maybe even out of place on this team

That's on him too. If you are a good player you move around and find ways to get shots

Lost me at kepnang

 

[rivercatinfl]

I thought we played reasonably well. Potato clean up but nothing earth shaking.
we will face lots of penetrating quick guards so we need to clean up the opponents guards driving to the basket. TT’s guards got by us too often and finished.
I’m happy with the W. We will continue to improve.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Mason is a starter.
Mom is phenomenal.
Disappointed in Zoom.
Need consistency out of N'dyai.
Anxious to see how Kam fits in when healthy.

 

[kyjeff1]

Wait, we have good players now? I thought we had guys nobody wanted?

I didn’t watch the game, but if this is true, that’s ******* crazy.

I missed the 2nd half, I need to watch it again and the comment you quoted is the reason why.

5. False
If dude wasn't huge he be stocking shelves
2. Is the truth.
4. Noooo! YES!
1. Let's get up some shots.
3. Agreed. High ceiling. Big and fast are good things.

FAAAAAR POPE!

I wonder how some of you come to the conclusions you do. Your take on Milan was just exactly opposite of what I saw. I thought he competed his butt off on defense and has great timing and awareness. You mentioned he is the best shooter you have ever seen which im not sure thats true but if it is wouldn't you think that alone would be enough of a reason to need to have him out there?

 

[Bernie4blue]

Williams definitely the better guard, coming off the bench. Having said that, I recall Zoom's highlight reel. He didn't forget how to play ball, I think it's just Pope's effect on his game thus far. Soft and timid around the basket. Just a hunch.

Williams is a very pleasant surprise but he has trouble on defensive end. Let's hope he learns fast.

 

[Anon1739778738]

Zoom dribbles too much without purpose and is a turnover machine.He fails to penetrate because of this and his passing is not worthy of a starting point guard in the sec.He is vastly overrated and would not start on any other SEC team as a point guard.Any one that watches basketball in the league and around the country could easily see this if not drunk on the blue Kool Aid.Williams checks all the boxes and will be starting by the time regular season rolls around.

Zoom's +/- of -7 begs to differ.
TTU's biggest runs in the first and second half was with Zoom on the floor.
He's not the answer at PG.

 

[MichaelGray]

I said on here before the season started that Mason Williams was going to play & that no way he wasn't, quite a few people disagreed. My thoughts were because there's no way his dad wouldn't have him ready to play considering his NBA career & watching some videos of Williams. I saw that he could really handle the ball in those videos.

 

[Wildcatmenace]

He’s a relentless worker so I think it’ll come.

You had me until the Moreno EVAL that's just asinine absolutely asinine

 

[warrior-cat]

Zoom is just that on the floor...Zoom, with no control or vision. Seems to be more about trying to get his.

You are wrong about Milan. He passes very well and hos defense and rebounding much better than expected. Plus add the intangible of hos calm confidence.

 

[SenseMaker_Cats]

Honest question Jeff. You were happy with how Moreno rebounded and went after balls within his reach?

Go to the replay of the game and fast forward to around 18 or so seconds to go. I know it didn’t matter but it’s a microcosm of how he rebounds. A 6’1” guy kept him from getting the rebound.

Edited to say he’s still better than big Franck. Yes, that comment is asinine but I just now realized who the OP was.

# 5 is way off in my opinion.

 

[Ednunn]

Agree, but Moreno better develop some toughness and mean if expects to play Nba.

 

[jeffky]

Ndiaye has my attention 7 ft can shoot it anywhere on the court shot blacker jammer and can out run guards and does not seem to mind contact .
