Basketball Roster Retention Ranking

I’d rather Gaines than Reid

1. Adam Miller
2. Brandon Murray

I understand all the talk around Adam Miller and being a leader. But the fact that we haven't actually seen him in p&g and that he will be coming off an acl injury has Murray #1 for me. Murray imo was better than expected this year and seems to have a well rounded game combined with a poise needed in a leader.

If Gaines could learn to play with some control/discipline the sure.

Apparently, according to a very reliable source, Gaines was already leaving before WW was fired. Whether or not he’ll change his mind now we have a new coach, who knows.
I don’t think it was due to WW. Gaines was very disengaged at the end of the season, despite WW having his back throughout.

I’m hoping Taz gets to stay, he’ll be invaluable to a coach with no LA ties or experience, and he relates really well to the young players.

That’s sad to hear because Wade ran off the only local BR area kid to keep forcing Gaines in.

Wish we had Cook

Reid is gone. Dude will be drafted.

Brandon Murray
Adam Miller
Eric Gaines
Mwani Wilkinson
Efton Reid
Alex Fudge
Justice Williams
Shareef O'Neal
Jerrel Colbert
Bradley Ezewiro

Reid struggled but he showed some decent potential down the stretch. He’s 10 feet tall and has the skill to shoot jumpers. There is something there. I hate to be mean but Mwani is one of the most stale offensive players I have seen for us, he doesn’t do anything but shoot wide open corner 3’s. Also Justice Williams was super disappointing, I would see him shoot a wide the eff open jumper and would know for a damn near fact that it wasn’t going in.

Pinson actually has a year, if he wants it.

Doubtful though

He doesn’t get the credit deserved to how he impacted on defense. He would commonly be switched on a guard and do fine. That’s impressive for a first year guy that size.

Reid does nothing for me. He’s more skilled offensively than he showed, I’ll give you that, but he’s soft and unathletic. When a guy is soft he typically stays soft, and he was someone the opponent consistently attacked either via the PnR or switching. Down the stretch he averaged 9.9 pts, 5.8 rbs, 1.5 blks, 1.8 turns, and 7.4 fouls per 40 minutes. He was really bad, and shouldn’t have even seen the floor as the season progressed, but there was really nobody else to turn too.

It’s more about Reid than Mwani for me, but I would also never turn down a guy with some size on the perimeter that can defend and knock down corner 3’s. I think that’s more valuable than the nothing burger Reid provided.
