The one I've shown is with the two Freshman starting at both Forward spots. Or, I could move Wiggins to the bench, start Owens at Center and Bonzi at PF, bring Middleton back into the SF spot. That actually might be a more fun lineup. The other option is to move Owens to Center, bench Wiggins and start Royal at PF. Royal just hasn't lit up the stat board so I don't see the upside there. You know what, screw it I'm changing the starting lineup to all the young bucks.

I will probably also target Tyson Abrams as I still need a decent PG. PF Tyson Pearson is a JUCO (SO), so even though he looks good I won't get as many years out of him. I still need help at SF so will probably target one of those will my 3rd scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 SCHOOL OVERVIEW - YEAR 4 Team Prestige ** School Pride *** Conference Titles 3 National Titles 0 Facilities Weight Room 3 Practice Gym 0 Study Hall 0 Injuries Clinic 0 Fan Support School Band 4 Student Section 4 Crowd 4 Cheerleaders 4 So I'm not sure what School Pride does, but it went up to 3 stars. I was able to upgrade my weight room to level 3. All of the Fan Support stuff jumped from level 2 to level 4 across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) END OF REGULAR SEASON - YEAR 4 Final record was 19-11 (which is better than last year despite stepping up a conference), with a 11-5 in conference record. I finished 4th in the conference (out of 14) behind only Xavier, UMASS & Saint Joseph's. I finished with an RPI of 82, which honestly doesn't sound that bad. IN CONFERENCE STATS/RANKINGS PPG RPG APG SPG BPG Turnovers Fouls FG% 3PT% 75.1 - 9th 31.6 - 7th 16.6 - 7th 5.3 - 9th 7.9 - 3rd 425 - 11th 560 - 14th 47.9 - 5th 37.9 - 10th Yikes, these rankings don't exactly scream 4th place in the conference. Not sure how I won so many games. TOP STAT PERFORMERS - YEAR 4 PPG RPG APG SPG BPG PF C Owens - 20.9 C G Wiggins - 7.3 SG M Staley - 4.1 SG S Lawrence - 0.8 PF C Owens - 1.8 SG S Lawrence - 15.2 PF B Royal - 6.6 PG #2 - 4.1 SF #0 - 0.8 C G Wiggins - 1.5 PF B Royal - 10.3 PF C Owens - 6.4 SG S Lawrence - 3.9 PF C Owens - 0.7 PF B Royal - 1.3 I think I screwed up with my starting lineup decision. SF Middleton isn't anywhere on this stat sheet, he was invisible. My rebounding stats were atrocious, I should have gone with Wiggins starting at Center. Also, its obvious Lawrence shouldn't be playing PG. Edited June 29, 2020 by MKnight82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT - YEAR 4 I had a BYE in the first round. I beat Charlotte 92-74 in the Quarter Finals. But I lost to Massachusetts in the Semi Finals. Still haven't won a conference championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 NCAA TOURNAMENT The Final Four was #4 Clemson vs #8 Arkansas, and #3 Florida vs #7 Ohio State. Clemson beat Ohio State 83-79 in the National Title Game. Sounds like a Football NTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 OFFSEASON RECRUITING I don't have any scholarships available, which is a bummer because there was a 3 star PG and a 3 star SF interested in joining my school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 should develop into solid 3 point shooters, which my team really needs. Either Lowe or Abrams will have to start at PG this year out of necessity. Durham is not the best athlete.

THE DUKE Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 For as much size as you have inside, you'd think the rebounding numbers would have been a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya for some reason Owens size didn't translate to rebounds. That's why I'm moving him back to PF and starting Wiggins at Center this year.
