I see massoud getting 15mpg for us, regardless if he starts or comes off the bench. He has the chance to be a solid role player and can steal a few more minutes if he's hitting his shots.
He doesn't need to be asked to do too much, which he was this season. Massoud getting 7 minutes a half isn't unrealistic, as our roster stands right now. Hopefully it's a moot point and we bring in 4 more stud transfers who bury massoud on the depth chart
Think I'm higher on Massoud than everyone else other than RJ.
Given the lack of size, WF had to play Ish out of position all year. He's not a 5, and he's only a 4, if WF had inside scoring threats at other spots. WF didn't have that. Also, after the Pitt game, ACC schools figured out that WF's best (only) chance to win was from behind the arc. So, everyone over-played from behind the arc, particularly Massoud; yes, Ish's shooting rate dropped, but he also almost never had an open look over the last month. With LaRavia, Ingraham, Hildreth, a stronger Whitt, Williamson, McCray, another year of Ody development, maybe another piece, WF should be more of a threat to score inside. That development opens up more outside scoring chances for Massoud. Also, with a normal off-season of strength and conditioning, Ish should get stronger (he's not going to gain 30 pounds of muscle, but 10 could help him when he takes the ball to the basket). Will always have a soft spot for a 6-8 player who can hit the 3. Understand why some here are have given up on Massoud, but still think he can help WF over the next few seasons.

I've got a feeling we will not be involved with Marcus Watson.
I want Massoud to stay also. My point is he only has his shot. He is not a post player yet he can't drive to the basket or create and he is a liability on defense. He needs to get stronger and improve to be a consistent contributor moving forward.
Just think of how much you'll be forgetting in about ten years.
Have you built the moat?
He's actually a good passer.
If we hadn't stopped driving and dishing, he and Antonio would have had better seasons. It's also very different to slash to the basket from the wing rather than trying to move from the baseline into waiting bigs.
Y'all think this decision was mutual?
