    We need to move off the media day thread, and on to how we are underestimating this team and how Meyers and McCollum will lead us to the WCF

    I think he will. My gut says the 15 man roster will be:

    1. Dame
    2. CJ
    3. Meyers
    4. Aminu
    5. Plumlee
    6. Davis
    7. Crabbe
    8. Henderson
    9. Harkless
    10. Vonleh
    11. Kaman
    12. Connaughton
    13. Alexander
    14. Montero
    15. Pressey

    I don't see Frazier getting cut since he's Dame's boy.

    FTFY, looking forward to the first National reporter to acknowledge this and the solid re-tooling Neil has done despite the offseason destruction.

    They've got this covered. They're going to get Frazier a job working at the Oaks Park roller skating rink.

    Kinda expected that, no?

    Our best shooters are Meyers, CJ, and Dame. Everyone else really is a question mark. Not sure who Jaynes is considering a "shooter."

    Yeah, he may be looking at some of the big men. The only "shooter's" I'm curious about in training camp are Harkless and Aminu. I'm not worried about Dame, CJ, MyLe, Vonleh or Crabbe.

    One interesting comment from Dame was talking about how hard it is to score at the rim and to make interior passes. He talked about all the length in the middle and the long arms disrupting the lanes--more so than he ever saw in the past. Hopefully that is a good sign for the defense over the next year.
