LSU Basketball is only missing one element on its roster...

...and that's a rim protector.

McMahon might even have that if Jalen Reed can fill the role, and he seems to have the wingspan and the hops - though the book on him seems to be he's not all that accomplished a defender.

If they can close with the kid from St. Bonaventure or, what sounds a little more likely, get Shawn Phillips, this will be the most complete roster heading into a basketball season since Brady's Final Four team (and maybe more than that, because the 2006 team had zero depth).

Considering that there was a period after McMahon took the job where he had literally zero scholarship players in the fold and two months later he's one piece away from having all of the pieces, wow.

I was a Wade guy, but I'll be a McMahon guy. I assume he can coach since that was the book on him at Murray State and his record suggests it isn't wrong. He's definitely going to have the material to work with based on the work he's done assembling this roster.

Projected lineup:

1 - Juice Hill
2 - Adam Miller
3 - Mwani Wilkinson
4 - KJ Williams
5 - Shawn Phillips

Bench (main rotation):

6 - Tyrell Ward
7 - Jalen Reed
8 - Cam Hayes
9 - Trae Hannibal
10 - Kendall Coleman

With Justice Williams, Fountain and Corneilous Williams fighting to get garbage minutes. That is a DEEP roster.
