Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Still early, but I'd expect Oregon to sneak into the top 25 on many of the polls.

This season is going to be really interesting with only three true guards on the team. Our defense should be insane. Offense is going to be another story. The real question is who is going to be able to score consistently outside of Pritchard and King?

Bol?

Also, funny that you're in North Beach. I'm in SOMA!

We return 4 of our top 7 scorers. Throw Bol Bol and King in there and we will be about the same as we were this year.

If we can get a grad transfer who can shoot 3s and put up 10-11 ppg, we will be fine.

I spent most of my life there, but I live in Sacramento now....closer to skiing

Okoro will jump us up higher if he reclassifies. That's the real game changer for us.

We don't play with a system that requires multiple guards. We play with a primary ball handler, a post, and three players that rotate around the perimeter. Bol, Kigab, White, King, and probably Norris will all probably function just like Bailey and Richardson, with Pritchard doing the ball handling and Okoro and Wooten rotating in the post. I would really like to see Altman add another PG to spell Pritchard, but I'm not sure it's a necessity. If we do that I'd like to see the PG be a lock down defender.

18 is going to seem really high when we first see this team, but about right by mid season.

Just due to rotation, minimum 4 guards is a must unless you trust you fowards at the SG
