We shouldn’t read anything into it…but…if we are…Jones getting a less prominent pic than TWill?
Ok…it is just a random photo…nothing to see here…

Brandon Wade is in for a minutes boost based on this poster.

If Bufkin’s minutes are less than TWill’s, I think I would be surprised.

Why? Seems like TWill has every opportunity to make a big leap this year, no? And this is no slight on Kobe.

I think TWill gets boxed out by surplus of 4s and I worry he won’t shoot enough to play 8 min as a 3 and so for next year I don’t see lots of minutes for him. (I like him. He’s a cool player. This is just about roster fit, not about him or his value as a hooper!)
Meanwhile, Kobe has clear path to 8 min behind Eli, with upside to play behind Houston too, and maybe Eli and Kobe play together (I like that) …Kobe had a unique and useful skill set right now as one of maybe only two guys in the roster who can be described as competent shooter and ball handler simultaneously.
(Lotta projection on Kobe.)

I hear you. But I can also see a situation where Kobe just isn’t ready for the physicality of the college game, turns the ball over, and his defensive game keeps him off the floor. I obviously hope this isn’t the case. I definitely see TWill with the higher floor going into the season—who knows if that changes as the season progresses tho.

Look I think one thing is clear about this poster. Williams, Jones, and Houstan all have the ball in their pictures. Definitely looks like the point guard rotation to me.

Point TWill is a go

Johns looks to be about a foot and a half to two feet taller than Diabate as of right now. Will be interesting to see how that impacts the PF rotation.

What’s your best guess, about 8’6”?

TMW Big Ten preview: Big Ten 2021-22 Preview — Three-Man-Weave
Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/pq2n7p/three_man_weave_big_ten_202122_preview/
Obligatory snarky comment: It’s absolutely perfect that the clip pulled for “look what Alonzo Verge can do” is from a game ASU is losing by 21 points. And their big wing transfers are guys who couldn’t crack the rotation at Xavier and DePaul? Yikes.

Fatts Russell as a top 5 newcomer to the B10 is a uhhhh bad take.

Tiers look right to me
I’d also love to see the First Team All-B1G play the second team… All bigs vs all guards
I love 3MW but the Brad Davison third team appearance made me spit out my drink.

8. I think it’s more likely than not that the Big Ten winds up with multiple teams holding the best record in the league. It happened two of the past three seasons, and may well have happened last season were it not for Michigan not playing three conference games due to COVID. (FYI: The particulars surrounding Michigan’s handling of that three-week layoff still bother some in the conference.) Michigan, Illinois and Purdue will elbow it out for No. 1. Give me Matt Painter’s Boilermakers to be the best of the Big Ten in 2021-22. Dark horse: Michigan State.

“Basketball team took too much time off to quarantine in a pandemic,” will never stop being one of the dumbest and most immature opinions I can imagine.
I’m not still mad.
