I'm stupid/Dimitri Batten

Postby BostonChillage on Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:18 pm

I missed most of the news on Dimitri Batten a couple of months back when he transferred. What is expected out of him? He seems like a pretty big get in regards to losing Rahon.

it'll be interesting to see who starts between Darryl Hicks and Dimitri Batten. my guess is Batten will play around 20-25 minutes per game at the wing.he was misused as a 3 at ODU, and depending on his handles he could spot Hanlan some minutes at the point.
I like BC basketball.

The current roster is poorly constructed in that we don't have a point guard/primary ball handler and Hanlan may be the only guy on the roster who can credibly fill that role, meaning he probably plays 38 minutes every game unless he gets in foul trouble. At the wing we have a ton of options: Jackson, Owens, Hicks, Heckmann, Batten, even Drago. The real question is do we play 2 big men at once or one at a time, in order to get more wings on the floor?

Predicting the starting lineup is pretty tough, after Hanlan.
Hanlan/Jackson/Heckmann/Odio/Clifford ???
Hanlan/Owens/Heckmann/Diallo/Clifford ???
Hanlan/Owens/Jackson/Heckmann/Magarity ???
Could Batten or Hicks break in?

I kind of imagine everyone other than Hanlan getting cycled in and out a lot. :screamyeagle :screamyeagle :screamyeagle

I think you are forgetting someone in the big man calculus.

Hanlan, Hicks, Heckmann, Diallo and Clifford should start.

Use Batten, Owens and I guess Odio off the bench.

If JC is serious about defense, I don't want to see anymore of Lonnie Jackson or Caudill or Magerity frankly. None of those players are particularly useful on offense either.

You could start Odio and use Diallo off the bench against smaller teams. The more zi look at that list of players the more I realize we aren't going to be any good this year.

First-year coaches are usually stuck with their predecessors' leftovers, so Christian deserves some tolerance for the upcoming season. At the same time, it should be enlightening to see how much performance he and his assistants can extract from such a motley crew - anything even close to .500 would be a pleasant (but unlikely) surprise.

Year 2 (2015-16) will feature a large number of Christian's own recruits, so at that point we should start to judge more rigorously (with due allowance for freshman inconsistency). Short of catastrophe, it's not easy to dump a coach less than four seasons in, so that should be our ordinary "up or out" number.

so we really can't judge flat top until "his" players have been on campus for 100 games?

just want to make sure the same low expectations are being set by the christian singles as were previously set by the beeker ballwashers

It turns out, taking TREness into account was the problem. I have to go delete my search history.

I have absolutely no faith in Caudill, but I do expect Jackson and Magerity to take a step forward in defense if only because defense will be taught and emphasized. I don't think they will be good defenders, but it is possible that they become much less of liabilities.
