I think Omoruyi and Edey played to a top 25 level last year? But other than that, you’re probably right.
Weren’t there rumblings that Kris was upset w his minutes? He was maybe their 2nd best dude and couldn’t crack 50% of minutes?
As Dylan pointed out, 2.3 fouls in 17 mins is pretty prodigious.
But also seems weird to have Rebraca get more burn
It’s just how Fran plays, he plays lots of guys. Rebraca was the only real big guy they had and the league was loaded with bigs. It makes sense that situationally they’d fit different spots.
It’s just always how Fran operates except for his main guys. He loves to ride an alpha scorer and consistently plays one of the deepest benches in the league.
Kris should be the alpha scorer this year and we know how that works out generally.
Real interesting when you compare sophomore Kris to freshman Keegan:
He likes a deep bench to keep legs fresh for their intense pressure defense
Can’t have a Kris Murray breakout year if he plays 30 minutes as a freshman. Couldn’t have a Keegan Murray breakout year unless he played 18 minutes as a freshman to Connor McCaffery’s 22.
Murray is projected as a 1st round pick at the moment so I’m not sure why you think he’s too high.
Cause he hasn’t done much to warrant that ranking.
Who would you rank ahead of him?
No clear options. That’s what I meant when I said it’s a testament to the lack of top end talent.
Did I miss Chase Audige?
Right yeah I think the issue is Fran hence Kris being annoyed. I can imagine they had a sit down where they agreed he’d be the guy this year and that worked for both sides.

Palpable Buzz

DECs, buddy. Gotta have 'em.
known friends and trusted confidants
Remember on the pod where Dylan said there was negative buzz to keep good players humble and positive buzz to keep fringy players confident
Wasn’t there the same buzz around Terrance last season?
