McKillop has no idea of how to use an elite shooter.

The reason he held offers from big-time programs is he's an elite shooter, I think we expect him to do more but that's his best attribute. Was also a good rebounder in high school but his competition was very poor.

Big guards also has helped our zone out and means we can continue switching defenses going forward, having guys with long arms at the top of the zone makes a huge difference

This will be the opening day lineup:

JAG
KG
MJ or Frampton
Uncle
My name is Luka

I think Nate or Dusan will start over Luka.

Brick sarsaparilla wager?

Bob is dancing in the streets right now. He doesn't do this and put a guy on the pine.

Ranked as one of the best shooters in the class, has decent athleticism, and is purported as a plus defender.

I bumped into Coach at the Brickhouse on Friday. I asked about Frampton and his progress. He responded with a twinkle in his eye, Frampton is the REAL deal.

Seems to me that all in the village has done a great job of keeping Luke's spirits high during his redshirt season.

You're on. I doubt that Luka will be ready defensively by opening day. Dusan and Nate will be.

A few weeks ago, I was listening in on a conversation Bob was having with the Wizards. One of them (Bagelcat, I think) asked Coach what the team would have been like if Frampton had been able to play this year. Bob said "He would be the best shooter on the team; he would have been number two in basketball IQ behind Peyton, and he would have been number one in sheer toughness."

I've watched several of Michael Jones' games this season, thanks to the fantastic internet HS games televised in Minnesota. There's no way he is only 6'4" -- I'd say at least 6'6" and with his long arms, he seems to play much taller than that. His game is very reminiscent of a young Peyton Aldridge.

Just have versatility - that's what depth provides. 4G small lineup is a match up issue for some teams; traditional 2 G lineup with dusan and luka and or nate against heavier teams or periods of a game when needed. all great teams have that optionality.
What is potentially good going forward is we can be very selective on recruits coming in to 2019 and 2020 - that fit scheme or are athletic optionality to develop. and good players get good players. Hopefully better and better talent are attracted to an increasingly talented Davidson. Hard to replace Peyton - that will be a challenge but if you keep getting athletes and good fits that can be additive to a young and maturing team you could have a good 3-4 yr run.
