Kuba
Posted: October 11th, 2019, 7:16 am
Is it just me, or is anyone else really excited for him? I think he'll replace Queta well next year. I don't think we've ever had a guy his size that moves as well as he does.
I think I know what you mean, but I would say that Queta moves better than Kuba by far. So the question is.....are you talking about players 7-2 or taller?flying_scotsman2.0 wrote: ↑October 11th, 2019, 7:16 amIs it just me, or is anyone else really excited for him?

I think I will eat my words. Just saw the slam dunk contest. He can move extremely well. A WAY better get than I originally thought.mcaggie1 wrote: ↑October 11th, 2019, 1:46 pmI think I know what you mean, but I would say that Queta moves better than Kuba by far.

They could run a 3-2 zone with those two under the hoop and Bairstow or Brito at the top and the Other on a wing with Merrill on the other wIng just to throw a different look sometimes.TrueAggieman wrote: ↑October 11th, 2019, 11:41 pmMy one wish in life is to see him play next to Queta. I’m sure they’ll probably not play side to side often, but imagine the rebounds and blocks
Couldn't having two dudes like Kuba and Queta down low close out on a corner three much quicker that a six-foot something guard?dyedblue wrote: ↑October 12th, 2019, 5:59 amA 3-2 with those two would get us killed against a team with good guards - like Nevada last year. College is such a guard driven game we’d have to be careful when to use this defense.
The party would absolutely be shut down, but a 3-2 defense can’t cover the corner threes well and any it is also vulnerable to driving and kicking the ball. When a quick guard drives the top of the zone collapses and the post defender come up leaving half the court wide open.

I see your point with a quick cut once one of the bigs tried to close out as well. If one of the bigs had to close out on the corner the backside big would have to slide over to cut off a potential cutter. There are so many scenarios and what-ifs they could probably be endless.dyedblue wrote: ↑October 12th, 2019, 10:28 amI don’t think they would be quick enough to get there. I haven’t seen Kuba, and while Quetão has great length it’s tough for him to close out that far. If you extended the zone out a bit it could help, but if they close out in the corner then quick cuts from wings would find a wide open lane. It would be interesting to see if those two could play together defensively though, I’m just guessing on Kuba here and you might be right’22

Yeah man, that's basically why I posted this. He should be a very adequate replacement for Queta next year. Also, if he is willing to work and get coached up, I think he has all the natural, physical tools to get to the NBA.mcaggie1 wrote: ↑October 11th, 2019, 5:36 pmI think I will eat my words.

To be fair, if we have 14 possible players (Anthony the only required redshirt) there's 8568 possible roster lineups. So not quite endless.aggies22 wrote:I see your point with a quick cut once one of the bigs tried to close out as well.

I would love to see all 8568 possibilities. Would you mind putting together a list?lcrasmus wrote: ↑October 12th, 2019, 2:27 pmTo be fair, if we have 14 possible players (Anthony the only required redshirt) there's 8568 possible roster lineups.
