True, right now, ( a healthy) Akok's in line for both Josh and TP's minutes ( if he can shoot it like he did @ Xavier in his only extended play this year) with Whaley sliding into the 5 when he's out there with Akok. But a shooting / break down off the dribble scorer ( from the portal ?) is a huge need.Yeah, I can see Akok, Whaley and Sanogo getting most of the minutes at the 4&5. You know kids like the idea/title of starting.
Lets hope at least one of the frosh guards are ready to start by January.
The best thing about Whaley returning is the defensive versatility he gives the team. Last year there were games in which Sanogo could not be played due to small ball teams playing jump shooting 5s. Sanogo was helpless when chasing these small perimeter shooting 5s outside on the perimeter. Having Whaley around is important for those games. Whaley also showed signs of being able to stick open 3s himself, so when he is out there the opposing 5 can't leave him wide open either.Whaley sliding into the 5 when he's out there with Akok.
Recent Borges article on TP that you guys have probably seen. I would also add that Hawkins has a sweet looking stroke from 3 and he'll seem to be a shorter (reportedly 6-6 by himself) more athletic, and similiar skinny looking version of TP when he was a FR. So the roster will take on an interesting look depending on what Tyler does.True, right now, ( a healthy) Akok's in line for both Josh and TP's minutes ( if he can shoot it like he did @ Xavier in his only extended play this year) with Whaley sliding into the 5 when he's out there with Akok.
