WFU Hoops: '23-'24 Roster Construction Thread: +Miller, Sallis, Reid, & Canka

Staff knows best, but Sallis is a horrid three point shooter: 24% last season and for his career. Also, for a team that scores ton of points, Sallis does not. In 68 college games, he has scored in double figures 6 times. Realize Gonzaga is loaded, and he was a 5 star, but scoring does not appear to be his thing.

He didn't shoot too many 3s. I'm not concerned about that. But agreed, that is a spot where he could improve.

Looks like he can handle the ball and score at the rim, and doesn't turn it over. Also looks to have pretty good defensive skills. With his length, I think he'd be a great piece for us.
 
Sallis meets Forbes' stated goal of getting bigger on the perimeter - assuming Boopie and Jao split time at the PG we need a bigger SG such as Sallis
 
In addition to that, if Ituka isn't ready for minutes at PG, Sallis gives us another guy who can bring the ball up the court.

That’s what he says publicly and it’s a nice thing to tell recruits. But he was planning on a greatly improved Bobi next year.

True but it's the one shot that may lure him back.

I think he's gone for the reasons I listed earlier.
 
well shit. wasn't expecting my vibes to be completely destroyed when i sat down to catch up on this thread. but it is on brand

Not for next year, but if you build a track record top 50 guys and other underrated targets will eventually take notice.

But teams don’t need top 50 talent to make the tournament.

Wierd counterpoint.

Forbes wants a championship. Better talent. More talent. Better development of that talent matters. More wins equals Better talent. Better talent equals more wins.

Every win on the court and in recruiting builds on itself.

But to your point... ok.

Personally I think we need to build more around defense. More like we saw in Game 2 vs Syracuse when Forbes figured out how to play them vs Game 1 when we had not a clue on either end. Plus figure out how to play with intensity. Last year in ACCT vs BC comes to mind when after struggling for 30 minutes, we finally get up 10 with six to play, then shit the bed. Or as LaRavia said “we lost focus.” What????

Guess you and Forbes can agree to disagree about goals.

Don't disagree that defense shouldn't be a priority. That doesn't have anything to do with my post about talent.

I disagree that not making the tournament with top 150 players is going to lead to winning championships with top 50 players.

I'm not going to be the guy arguing a silly point with you. My post was "better talent wins games and wining games gets better talent." You gotta work on both at the same time. But I'm OK that you find fault with that point.
