Top 3 Buffs?

[Buffnik]

This morning, I was thinking about who the Buffs best 3 players are this year. Not just a "who is your top 3?" type of thing, but based on the major skill sets.

So, who do you think our top 3 are for each of the following:

Scoring (jump shots):

Scoring (in the paint):

Rebounding:

Passing:

Ball Handling:

Defense (on ball):

Defense (help):

I need to think a bit about this, but I'm thinking that Carlon is going to show up in more Top 3s than any of our other guys.

​Some of these are close calls. Here's my first run at it:

Scoring (jump shots):
1. Carlon
2. Mayor
3. Ski

Scoring (in the paint):
1. Austin
2. Carlon
3. Dre

Rebounding:
1. Dre
2. Carlon
3. Mayor

Passing:
1. Mayor
2. Carlon
3. Nate

Ball Handling:
1. Nate
2. Ski
3. Mayor

Defense (on ball):
1. Carlon
2. Chen
3. Adams

Defense (help):
1. Dre
2. Carlon
3. Austin

Curious as to your ball handling pick. Is it who handles the ball the most?

The way I think of it is who do I feel most comfortable with dribbling the ball if the other team is trapping/pressing or who I think is most capable of taking someone off the dribble through traffic without getting his pocket picked.

I thought about Chen and even Dre for that. Austin is also damn good for his position.

and you chose Nate as your #1? Are you trying to piss me off?

 

[Black&Yella]

Ive had a lot of debate with people over the top 3 on the team and i think its definitly Dinwiddie, Carlon and Dre, the only other argument i think could maybe be made for Ski or Dufault but thats it really

Bench:
1. Ski
2. Chen
3. Adams

Am I missing anyone here.

Cain has the potential to go to the top of that list considering how much we need a big to spell Austin and Dre.

I'm back on the Nate bandwagon. **** it. I'm gonna drive the thing.

Next home game, I'm gonna be in your ear with, "AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE, OI, OI, OI!" for 2 hours.

i gotta agree w/ you... pretty tough, you just listed 6 very good players w/ handles...

you got it, but these are all guards and TB is gonna put in a big either after ski or before ski like the other game when 2 minutes into the game dufault had 2 turnovers....

And I left off Carlon because of his early season struggles. If I could forget that and just focus on the past 5 or 6 games, he'd be way up there.

 

[DBT]

**** if I know.

 

[FLounder]

Mayor?

 

[Ruckus]

Mayor?

Spencer.

 

[NashBuff]

It's simple...we got two scorers in Brown & Dinwiddle plus a rebounding machine in Roberson. That should be enough although I would love to see one more rebounder emerge besides Roberson.

Agree, would expect SHT to get more minutes - my three were off my perceived impact so far. I hope to see Cain continue to improve as well.

Top three

Scoring Outside
1 Carlon
2 Mayor
3 Dufault but he never shoots for some reason

Scoring Inside
1. Dufault developed a post game
2. Dinwiddie think of all his drives in transition where he either lays it in or gets to the line
3. Flydre on O boards and dump off passes alone

Rebounding
1 Flydre
2. No one
3. No one

Ball handling
1. Ski on pure talent he is our best
2. Mayor never turns it over
3. Nate u see him **** his pants when Wroten took one step towards him in the second half

Passing
1. Ski lethal when driving
2. Nate
3. Mayor

On Ball D
1. Adams
2. Nate
3. Chen

Carlon gives up way too many points to be considered a good defender

Help D
1. Flydre
2. Nate
3. I guess dufault

Carlon over helps letting his man get many uncontested threes

Although it ay seem as tho i am being harsh on carlon i do believe he is our best player because there is no one in the pac 12 that can guard him
