With Carms passion for defense, I doubt Sloan would ever get on the floor. Might be true against some teams but against King Rice's double team Pickett defense he would have been the perfect guy to send out there and prevent Monmouth from using the other 3 defenders to clog the paint. I've seen way too many missed open 3s this year off brilliant passes from Pickett to believe there wouldn't be a role for Seymour on this team. Sloan and Hopkins are both career 38% 3-point shooters. Hopkins is a much better rebounder, and assist man. Not sure what Sloan does better? We're fine without Sloan, and his 12 min a game for JC says a lot to that point.

Good points but it wouldn't hurt to have a 6-9 shooter on the team to take away the double Jalen defense.

We're fine without Sloan, and his 12 min a game for JC says a lot to that point. Good points but it wouldn't hurt to have a 6-9 shooter on the team to take away the double Jalen defense. Right, Hopkins defender can cheat towards the paint and still get out to contest a 3 pointer. Against a 6'9" Seymour who can shoot from anywhere in the halfcourt they would not have that luxury. For all of Seymour's faults you can't dispute that when he was out there he drew his defenders way outside the 3 point line. I'm just envisioning King Rice trying to double team Jalen with Carpenter or Hopkins on one wing and Seymour on the other and Camper and Young/Stormo down low. With a defender on Sloan that leaves you to kick it to the other wing where Carpenter/Hopkins either have a look from 3 or have a defender flying at them and can now pass to Camper or Young who have a 2 on 1 inside. If Sloan's defender somehow recovers to help on Camper and Young then Sloan is wide open from 3. Just no way you could ever double Jalen.

Well doubling jalen didn't exactly work now, did it.

FWIW - Sammy Friday had 20 pts and 10 rebs tonight in a losing effort vs 15-1 Belmont. Way to go Sammy!

Looks like Carey lost his starting spot, but is still the 6th man. Had 5 pts in 16 min tonight in the Hoys upset of #15 Creighton .

He absolutely could have helped the team this year, wish he had stayed. It was when Carey embraced the lockdown defender/3 point shooter that didn't force shots role that the winning streak happened last year. We miss that, King can't defend and Hopkins is basically the exact role Carey was in but much shorter so tougher to get off his shot.
