I imagine that’s where you hope one of the 6’7” incoming HS recruits can make an impact by mid season, or get a quality transfer. Although I doubt any transfer wants to come in behind Curbelo, Miller or Frazier. And there are rumors of DMW coming back. I refuse to believe in the Hutch thing until I see him playing basketball for Illinois with my own two eyes.
As it stands now maybe looking at a rotation of AC-TF-AM-DMW-Grandison-Hawkins-Kofi and possibly one or both of the freshmen?
We would all love to see Kofi back as that makes us a Top 20 team easily, but just don't see a 22 year old guy who wants to get to NBA someday spending another year beating up on college players when he needs full time training against grown men.
I think DMW/Grandison starting makes sense if we had a Kofi back.
As we likely will not, we can't have 2 guys on the floor who can't score and are too small to guard 4's a lot. It hurt us on defense this year all year.
I am very curious about Hutcherson and cautiously optimistic he can play at this level and contribute at least as well as any of the freshmen we are bringing in or Grandison or DMW or Hawkins.
If those videos were of an alleged Top 100 HS incoming recruit people would be excited about a 6'7' shooter with 41" vertical and reasonable ball skills.
After being here at practice for a year- I think a starting job is his to lose unless he cant guard an empty chair or get his shot off which is possible. But both DMW and Grandison need a half hour to load up and take a three, and neither can shoot off the bounce at all.
