Guys, looking for a great game.
I'm curious , could you give me an idea of your team this year? Especially pg and bigs.
Thanks
Bigs are deep with this team. Onuaku, Mathiang and Spalding are all 6'10. All three are shot blockers. Onuaku, a sophomore is strong and is our best post player. Mathiang, a junior, is quicker and can run the court, rebound and block shots. He had a double double last game against St. Louis. Spalding is a freshman but he glides across the court and looks to be a star in the making. He had 18 and 12 a few games ago against North Florida.
Then there's sophomore Jaylon Johnson who is 6'9. He backed up Montrezl Harrell last year and was playing his best ball at the end of the season. He's a good rebounder with a nice touch from mid range. He's kinda been lost in the shuffle due to others good play. And finally, there's the 7'0 sophomore from Egypt Anas Mahmoud who is only 210 pounds. He has perimeter skills and has made great strides this season. He blocks shots but can be pushed around inside. Many Cards fans are hoping he's another Frank Kaminski who was a bench warmer his first two seasons at Wisconsin. Anas has similar attributes and supposedly makes 3 pointers in practice. He hasn't shot one so far this season. And for good measure, we have another 7 footer in Matz Stockman. A big burly sophomore who has seen little action.
The Cards are deeper in the front court than any team I can remember. There's no lottery pick but all are young and are learning while playing.
The PG is a combo of 5th year graduate Trey Lewis, at 6'2 and 6'1 sophomore Quintin Snider. Lewis played at Cleveland State last season and shot 42 percent from 3 pt range. He's a great leader and had 22 points against St. Louis. Snider is a local kid who took over last season after Chris Jones was dismissed. He has an improved 3 pt shot and is our 3rd leading scorer at 10 points a game and assist leader at a little over 4 a game. He has 24 assists and only 9 TO's.
This Cardinal team has shown great chemistry early in the season. Although not against a great schedule, you can see the teamwork and great team play we often didn't see in last years team. A team as you know was a game away from the final 4. Our leading scorer is 6'6 graduate transfer Damion Lee who is a player all fans would love to have on their team. Not only can he play, he's a great leader on the court and a team player all the way. Our best freshman is 6'3 guard Donovan Mitchell who looks like he's about to break out any game now. Very much like Terry Rozier as a freshman but a little stronger. And we also have another top freshman in 6'7 Deng Adel who will miss the MSU game with a knee injury. A lot was expected from him and he should be back by ACC play.
This is as a complete team Louisville has had since the 2013 championship team. We're going to take some lumps as all teams do, but once March starts watch out for Louisville. I like our chances against you guys. I know Kansas is your big win but I believe Louisville will be the most talented team the Spartans will have faced so far.
