Great article my friend. Would be interested to see how Roach’s freshman numbers stack up against, say Bobby Hurley, Tommy Amaker, Tre Jones, Chris Duhon or Greg Paulus.
It can’t be understated enough that he didn’t have an off-season last year to come in and get acclimated. So we give him one this year, another year of good health, and let’s be honest, a much more talented roster. We don’t need Jeremy to do more than he’s asked this year. Protect the ball, get into the lane and throw lobs, and knock down open shots at a consistent rate. I think we see a really confident and mature Roach this year. Starting tomorrow night.
