Copeland or White are not playing the 2. White has a good handle for a Forward but a guard he is not. Whittington's athleticism was the exception to the rule. Guard's will be Campbell 1, Peak 2/3 (needs to improve handle) & Johnson 2/3 (??? handle) unless a late addition is added.

Shoot over? Maybe not but any decent 2 guard is going to go right around them. Let alone the lack of ballhandling GTown would have on the floor. Not a knock on Copeland or White, but there is no way they are playing the 2.

Yeah 5th year transfers could be big.

Have got to think after this year, the NCAA is going to look to close off this loophole quickly. It's getting pretty ridiculous.

haha. so i see ppl don't like the idea of copeland playing the 2. I know it's a reach and i only suggested because gtown may not have a choice. and when i see copeland play he seems to spend awful lot of time behind 3pt arc. has nice shot and is athletic enough to stay in front of some guards. i'm thinking they play zone and force opponents to shoot over you. that's some serious length.

There was talk by analysts during the NCAA tourney of Reynolds going pro. But haven't heard any rumors since then.

I think objectively it might be a good idea for him to go pro actually. He's old for his class He's 22 and will turn 23 this year (Same age as DSR). He still can claim the potential label though, next year he won't. He'll have to really improve his game over the off season since his game is more power than anything and that won't be enough at the next level. That being said he could also graduate if he comes back so that would be a pretty big draw to come back for me.

and Sir Dominic Pointer who got drafted #53 by Cleveland. I suspect next year, there will be a few potential first rounders in Dunn, Copeland and Ellenson.

ESPN was doing a preview of the 2016 draft and they had Ellensen as 1 of 8 freshmen that will make the lottery.

And yes, Dunn/Copeland in the depleted as they called it sophomore/junior classes players who could leave early..

Those 3 the only players that ESPN mentioned from the Big East.

The one to watch will be Brunson at Nova I think. One thing in the article they mentioned is a lack of point guards. If Brunson has a good season for Nova, he could easily wind up as a 1 and done.
