Guys who didn’t do (all that) much in the morning but were better in the afternoon included Notre Dame’s Eric Atkins, Minnesota’s Andre Hollins, Stanford’s Josh Huestis, Iowa’s Devyn Marble, Indiana’s Will Sheehey and Baylor’s Cory Jefferson (who had a dunk on the break that appeared to include a Euro step. Crazy.).
After an early-morning session on Wednesday, the staff will make final decisions on team a bit after 9:30 a.m. MDT, but the official release of the team probably won’t happen until closer to lunchtime. If you’re really eager to know, checking the players’ Twitter feeds may not be a bad option. Someone may squawk. If I were putting the team together, I’d probably start with the following guys (in alphabetical order): Spencer Dinwiddie, Yogi Ferrell, Luke Hancock, Tyler Haws, Rodney Hood, Sean Kilpatrick, Alex Kirk, Doug McDermott, Adreian Payne and Chasson Randle.
That would give you two small guards, two bigger guards, two wing shooters, an athletic wing/smallball power forward, a scoring power forward, another athletic big and an inside/outside big man. With the two remaining spots, you probably need another rebounder (Cory Jefferson?) and maybe another ballhandler/leader (could Kendall Williams sneak in) or shooter (pick someone). We’ll see if tomorrow’s workout makes any difference and how close this is to the actual roster. Should be interesting.
