Haha good joke NJ was inconsistant last year and TJ has not shown that hes for real. No one dominated more than Jahii and Jermaine was constantly doubled last year. Your way better at the forward spots and you have a lot more depth your easily the better team but ASU has the better back court. Also ASU has Calaen Robinson off the bench who can ball.

What up Fork. I'm excited for this upcoming year in basketball... you should be too. Jahii will be one of the top PG's in the country.

I'm probably forgetting someone but oh well.

 

[CatsTopPac]

Nope, you pretty much have it sting.

I'm a little worried about the front court depth though, well, in relation to the back court depth. Beyond Ashley and Zeus, it doesn't look good. I think that AG will certainly help, but I just don't know much about how Korchek or Peters (when we get him in January) will perform.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Yeah, Korchek playing well will be key. We don't need him to score, he just needs to play hard nosed defense, hustle and rebound well. Blocking some shots wouldn't hurt either. We just need a guy that can step in and give Zeus a breather every once in a while. Hopefully Kaleb won't get in foul trouble as much this year. We need him to play about 33-35 mins a game.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Love how the 2014 recruiting class is shaping up (or how it will shape up)

Read something on PGU saying we are the clear favorites for Stanley Johnson and Craig Victor. Adding those two to PJC would be sweet.

 

[CatsTopPac]

I agree. I just think that Zeus had a ways to go on the two fronts of getting into foul trouble, and being ineffective (usually against smaller, quicker centers). He really needs to work on not only controlling his fouls, but also how to adjust to smaller centers. I agree though, we are really going to need him to jump in minutes, and effective minutes. And hopefully Korchek can pick up those other 5-7 minutes while Zeus sits. I think that the big men for AZ are going to be the key. We know that the back court will be fine. But with only really Korchek, and a little AG until Peters gets to play in January, it will be very important to combat any front court weakness this year.
