Brothers, can LSU piecemeal the 5 spot this season until Craig Victor is cleared

Crack double digits? Darcy scoring 4 points in a game was a minor miracle.

I think from Australia trip, LSU will be ok for non conf play with what they have. They might run a little more but Simmons, Epps, Malone should be able to handle the load. They will definitely need Victor for SEC play or foul trouble will doom this team. I think the 3 point shooting will be much better this year which will take some pressure off this team offensively. Rebounding will be key particularly offensive to get second chances. With focus on Simmons that should free other guys up to make plays and Simmons touches in the post will be good with his excellent ball skisls

I doubt it brother

Malone is the smallest 7 footer. He can't rebound against slightly smaller more athletic guys in the paint.

This is my solution to the problem. I think the upside of Epps is so high he has to participate early and often.

I thought Victor was a 4?

Victor can start playing in December... He won't be sitting out for long.

brother, i wonder if darcy malone also uses a flip phone...

i think elbert proves himself this year. in the non conf. schedule we can prob get away with epps playing some 5

I think LSU will be ok until Victor can play and I agree it will not matter much early. It would be great if Darcy and or Elbert could help the team.

Frankly, even when Victor can play, a good big man will dominate the Tigers. Thankfully only a very few will the Tigers play against if that many.

And who do you think we're playing OOC? Duke, UNC, UCLA, Ohio State and Kansas?

He has little to no experience. And whenever he did play last year, he was playing wing on offense and not guarding any post threats on defense. He is a 220lb thin bodied tweener forward. He certainly will have to play post with Ben Simmons this year, dont get me wrong..

All I'm saying is that whenever you have an actual Center presence that can post up and score inside, we will struggle if Epps is guarding him. Doesn't matter if it's Duke or Marquette that we play early in the year. Our biggest weakness will be interior defense and I don't see much of an argument about that.
