Off-season Development Wishlist:
Leslie - Jump shot. If you had an outside game, you'd be a match-up nightmare for any team. Brown - Tempo. You run the floor so well, but if you play too fast, the team gets out of sync. Wood - Add something else to your game. Catch-and-shoot fadeaways are only fun to watch if they are going in. Howell - Touch fouls on defense. When you aren't in foul trouble, like vs. SDSU, you can take over. Painter - Post-up game. Vandy - Everything really but I'd like to see you be a defensive presence. TDT - Watch Howell and model your game after his. Harris - Hit the weight room. Raymond - Didn't see a lot so I don't know what to critique. Find a way to work into the guard rotation.
Freshmen Lewis - Keep winning. 40ish wins last seasons and zeros losses. Purvis - I've seen tons of highlights of you slashing, I just hope you can hit your jumper, too. Warren - Follow Howell's fitness routine because you'll probably be seeing some minutes in the post. 3/25/2012 5:44:21 AM |

Yeh, those idiots who don't recognize a random internet article from 5 years ago that has been slightly changed to include today's players but still mostly fits the situation and then posted here to troll people are stupid, don't know how to use the Internet, and are bad fans. They should all STFU and GTFO.

You don't 'learn' to play the two guard. He'd have to get faster, quicker, more agile and better on D.
So, in the Sun Belt, maybe. In the ACC? No way 3/25/2012 1:21:59 PM |

Elwood All American 4085 Posts user info edit post |
need to improve the D! which will let us run! also need to figure out ways to play taller/bigger teams. which requires better jump shooters and we are bringing in some great shooter in this Fr class.
i think the team took a huge mental step! am talking huge like the sun. we had a 7 min drought and only lost by 3. normally we lose by 10+ when that happens.
you can really tell they believe Gott's system works.

Quote : | "What they're losing: The Pack's three seniors, Alex Johnson, C.J. Williams and Kendall Smith, will be missed as they quickly bought into Mark Gottfried's system and played big roles in changing the basketball team's culture. If sophomore C.J. Leslie decides to throw his name into the NBA draft, the Pack would also be losing their leading scorer and second-leading rebounder.
What they're adding: Gottfried wasted no time in displaying his recruiting abilities to the NC State faithful by attracting one of the best recruiting classes in school history. Shooting guard Rodney Purvis (Raleigh, N.C./Upper Room Christian), small forward T.J. Warren (Durham, N.C./Brewster Academy) and point guard Tyler Lewis (Statesville, N.C./Oak Hill Academy) will each have a major impact on future NC State teams.
What it equals: NC State will have a group of young, talented perimeter players to continue to grow this program around, and signing three McDonald's All-Americans sends a strong signal to the rest of the ACC that the Pack plans to compete for ACC and national championships. " |

We're stacked next year no question if Leslie comes back.
If he doesn't we're still a good team, just not stacked.
The problem seasons are 2013-2014 and beyond.
It's not Gottfried's fault, in fact he improved the situation by redshirting tha Verg Pipe this year. Also, I feel like Tyler Harrow could become a stretch 4 type player. He rebounds like a 4 and can defend any position. So I think at the very least he can be a 3, but might be a 4. As far as Thomas d'ONT T'SHOOT is concerned I'm not sure he is salvageable.
We got the guards, we need bigs. 3/25/2012 11:26:10 PM |

i predict Tyler Harrow will be the best combo PG/PF in the history of the ACC i predict 3 straight ACC and NCAA, MVPs, and an Olympic gold medal. 3/25/2012 11:35:39 PM |

If Tyler Harrow eats enough spinach his right arm might flare up and have a little anchor on the interior of his bicep.
And then we might come of age.
Until then i will gladly pay you $2 tomorrow for a $1 hamburger today 3/26/2012 12:01:12 AM |

Vandy, Harris and Warren in 2013-14 will be a serviceable frontcourt. But yes, we need to recruit a real PF, preferably a spring signing in this year's class. It's 2 years off, I'm not that worried about it.
If Leslie comes back, we should be top-25 and competing for the ACC title next year. 3/26/2012 9:54:43 AM |

I'm hoping that TDT will be serviceable by 2013-2014 too. But yes, we could really use a stud PF. 3/26/2012 10:13:40 AM |

After seeing:
Zeller/Henson Withey/Robinson Davis/Jones
I WANT a true center AND a true PF.
Imagine if we just let Leslie play the 3.
Also the offseason wishlist, i want leslie to shoot 500 3's/day. He's got all the other moves downlow and on the break, but if he could consistently shoot 3's it would be such a weapon and open up the other guys. I also want Vandenburg to come back and someone try and piss him off everyday until he develops a killer mean streak. 3/26/2012 10:24:30 AM |
