Clayton has to get better, we all agree.
Backcourt can be fixed and a few options, Brooks goes back to point, Ty played point, we have freshmen point coming in, maybe Clayton/Strauss get developed and the portal
NU get killed on the board currently. They sat Hunger against Illinois case the game was to physical. How is NU going to compete with bigs in the league next year.
As bad as Clayton is, when Ty picked up two fouls, he went in the game. When MN needed a break, they went to Preston.
For me I want to see how Hunger plays against Rutgers, they pound the boards. Will Collins go to him?
I don't really see Hunger as somehow not being physical enough. He's a really solid, big guy. He does alright on the boards.
I think what Collins probably meant was "Luke's not good at switching, he's not the post defender that Nicholson is and we're concerned that Illinois will carve us up if he is out there at the 5."
Of course, if we want to take a look at Hunger playing the 4... oh never mind.
