PTL Stats for Sunday, July 9

Doesn't look like Nunge's game is going to be beyond the arc as much as originally thought.
 
Going to be interesting to see how the minutes play out for our 4s and 5s this year. Kriener is really putting up some good numbers.
 
Kriener looks like a machine every game. Got to love it. Keep draining those 3pt shots!

Nunge isn't looking too shabby either. He needs to find his 3pt shot. But by all accounts he can stroke the ball. So hopefully he finds it soon..
Anyone know his 3pt shooting percentage from HS??

Wagner is working on his wing play. Those assists are looking good...as long as there are not too many TOs .

Dailey needs to learn to feed for the score . He looks to have great ball movement, which is much needed, but we need those assists... Missing Garza probably didn't help.

First of all I think he will be part of the rotation.

I'll play devils advocate though. He's listed at 6'9/247, which is the roughy the same as Cook and Pemsl, who he was clearly behind last year. Is Kriener's position a 5 or a 4? Can he defend 5s?

If he can't defend 5s better than Garza, Cook, Pemsl, Nunge?, then he will be competing for minutes at the 4 with Cook, Pemsl, Wagner, Nunge, Uhl, and Baer?, that's where it could be tricky for him.

Remember this is only PTL and he's playing alongside the best PG in the league. The outside shooting numbers are certainly impressive.

Those are all legit questions. We do have to remember that he missed the PTL last year and that helped Pemsl get a jump on him. I think this year he may be doing that to Pemsl. He has the body to bang down low. There was just a few times he was out of position when he was on the floor last year. If he keeps working on his footwork and his positioning, he could be one heck of a pick and pop 4 for us.

Good point about Kriener missing PTL last year. Pemsl does have the advantage of getting to play in the overseas trip to get caught back up.

My hope is that Kriener, who is slightly less fleet of foot, will be able to defend 5s, allowing Cook and Pemsl to play their more natural 4 spot.

Agree. I know some have suggested not to worry so much about position but it's hard not to when you try to figure out how guys are going to fit into the mix.

Here's how I'm seeing things...

5- Kriener/Garza
4 - Cook, Pemsl, Nunge
3- Baer, Wagner, Uhl
2- Moss, Ellingson, Dailey
1- JBo, Williams
 
Lots of options. Kreiner is going to play alot. He was coming on last year then kind of hit a wall. He's got offensive skills. Like I said when he showed up against Purdue in that home game...he reminded me of Frank the Tank. He can hit the three, pulling a big out...and he has some handles...not as good as Kaminski, but Frank didn't hit his stride really until his junior year...Kreiner is on track IMO.

Isn't it nuts that we have 13 guys truly competing for playing time. And that doesn't count Connor that we thought was going to be in the mix.
 
I wonder if Fran ever discussed the possibility of a redshirt with Garza or Nunge and if so were they receptive of the idea. Kriener looks poised to break out this year and I'd hate to see a season wasted much like Dailey last year.

Good point. Does anyone see a redshirt for anyone this year?
 
Kriener having a big year would be a great story...

He isn't afraid to shoot, and has confidence in his shot...

I'm almost thinking Fran has the recruiting rolling to where the talent levels are being upped each year so keeping them flowing through may be best option.

I feel like in order to get these good players to commit Fran may have to promise them no redshirt. I could be way off here but guys are so quick to transfer now and fail to see the positives of a redshirt year.
