opponents to think we are deeper than we are. Rice becoming available to make it a "10-man rotation" as the game article suggested might be too optimistic. I think, as we get into the season against tougher teams, including the ACC schedule, there are going to be players who are not reliable, who need more time, who get in foul trouble or can't defend, or who turn the ball over. It happens in football when people are awarded the Heisman trophy after a team's first game against LA-Monroe (equivalent) and it happens in early season basketball creampuff games when someone goes off. I agree that we are going to suffer defensively in the lane, especially when we hedge or double up top. Right now, our weakside rotation to cover underneath is slow or lacking and people are getting easy scores or potential looks. Poteat seems like he will get into foul trouble. Camden won't necessarily have the bulk to guard some of the players, but i will love to see how he improves. Kidd hopefully will be like N'Guessan. Last year, players like Pedula, Maddox, and N'Guessan did not get a lot of time once games got serious until they improved over time. I can see Rice, Collins, and some others ALSO be slow to get time in games that matter until they develop. ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 11/12/2022, 9:35:20 AM
