Hopefully we use the transfer market to our advantage, or
continue our Juco pipeline. Not looking at the stats rn but I
think Mo averaged more minutes than Jeff despite coming off the
bench?

are other teams in the AE experiencing this?
i personally would rather have chef on the floor much more-
considering that gueye nor policelli (i dont think) is really a
"big" in the normal sense.
otherwise it's really small ball- all the time. who's gonna get
all those boards? from all those record breaking three point
attempts we take???
if you add ola back in, then we lose two players who had
somewhat limited minutes. still hurts.

Well, Bing just lost their franchise guy. UA went through this
2 years ago (Cremo, Nicholls). As Checkmate pointed out,
Calixta and Myers with Maine recently. Welcome to the world of
free agency - I personally hate it; kids are basically a rental
for a year or 2 max these days.
Huge oppty for Chef, as now we have a bit of a big deficiency,
esp since Mo is foul prone. I think Christie has incentive to
work hard in the off-season, as he becomes an insurance policy
of sorts. Losing Jeff certainly hurts, even if it was for only
17 MPG.
I know some of you guys think Latimer is a big loss, but with
TSM, TPP, and Policelli in the mix, I don't think we skip a bit
at the 2.
Every time I see VC come up on my Twitter feed, I hold my
breath..........

Here's a comparison of Otchere's and Latimer's statistics over
their 2 years:
Latimer Stats:
GP
2019-20 32
2018-19 33
Otchere Stats:
GP MIN
2019-20 33
2018-19 33
Sorry if this doesn't render right on phones; couldn't upload

I’m just playing armchair psychologist here, but maybe Jeff
didn’t like sharing the spotlight with Mo. his Individual stats
did go down even though the team stats went up. He went from
DPOY, 78 blocks to 49 while Mo led the team.

a role.

Christie playing a role?? We're definitely scraping the bottom
now if that's the case. Ford is clearly doing something wrong
here. We had tons of talent on this team this past year, but
lost way more games than we should have. Now the whole roster is
falling apart. I have no idea how all of this will shake out,
but the way things are looking, we'll be lucky to finish in the
top half of the AE next year. Which is a ridiculous fall.
Looks like the people warning us about Ford were right!!

We've had offers out for some time now for what seem to be
really good PGs and CGs, but have received no commitments.
Other teams have seemed to gobble up some pretty good
candidates, even what I would consider less significantly less
attractive programs. Coach F. and Coach W. better get on the
stick fast--before all the choice pickins dry up!!

Sorry, but I think Geno did a good job keeping the team
together, especially after losing his best player (Yeboah), and
then losing his best remaining player (Elijah) during the
season. With the emergence of Mo, Jeff’s inability to stay on
the court and his inability to score, can anyone blame him for
playing Mo more than Jeff? Jeff’s mentor and biggest
cheerleader on this board had Jeff going to the NBA, and filling
the kid’s head with those unrealistic dreams. When Mo blew him
out of the water in most categories, you can’t fault Geno for
decreasing his mins. Jeff thinks he’s getting a raw deal, and he
transfers, end of story.
Latimer’s #’s we’re down across the board, and imo, his shot
selection got worse. TSM earned and stole some of his minutes,
and deservedly so. Geno still gave him 27 mpg, but Latimer
obviously didn’t like coming off bench, even though he still
played major minutes. Is it Geno’s fault that Latimer thinks he
deserves 35 mins per game? I don’t think so.
Give Geno some credit for winning 20 games, and getting to semis
with his gimpy star. Hartford went out and got some exceptional
transfers; as much as I hate this new world of transfer thing,
maybe we need to do the same.
