JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Spencer was a true freshman. His offensive skills got better as the year went on, and his foul trouble should improve as he matures. He plays hard and I am optimistic about his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,093 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 My updated guess based on what I've heard FWIW Guard- Ronnie Johnson Wing- Mustapha Heron Wing- TJ Dunnans Stretch 4-Danjel Purifoy Big- Horace Spencer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Add Laron to that list E and were going to the tourney... Were still not the deepest team, but if we can stay healthy we can get in... I'm really really excited about BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I guessed at the line up the way I did. I thought the same as you before I heard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 A key player from last year seems to have been left out when we are talking about next year. Bryce Brown he has an extremely sweet stroke as we saw in the Tennessee game. With all the new talent coming in we all myself included seem to have forgotten what a pure shooter he is. Because of our not having a true point guard last year he was forced out of his comfort zone last year. He is a pure spot up shooter who with the right PG will blossom. I also think having more competition during the summer and fall will force him to work on other parts of his game. If he can improve his ball handling skills and with that create the ability to setup his own shot we will see him blossom in his second year at Auburn. He may not be a starter but I think you will see him playing quality minutes giving Auburn depth and a scoring punch at SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be a very valuable contributer off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of depth will let Pearl play the type of hectic up tempo D and O that he prefers as he can sub players as they get tired. If we can avoid the injury bug we will have the deepest team I will have seen at Auburn in many years. I think we have a very good shot at NIT and a legit but not great shot at the NCAA. So many new players learning the system is why I think NCAA is still a bit of a reach but I would not be surprised if they make the NCAA. By the end of the season they will no longer be a young team so if they make NCAA they might win a game or 2 or 3. Year after watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,825 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 We're going to have quite a bit of wings on this roster, but after last year's injury avalanche I'm not mad at it. With Purifoy, Heron, Dunans, New Williams, Lang, and Brown it will be interesting to see how the playing time is divided up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Purifoy, Heron, Dunans, New Williams, Lang, and Brown it will be interesting to see how the playing time is divided up. Some players who should be SF will play out of position. I expect to see Purifoy and Lang playing some stretch 4 on D it will hurt us some but should be a match up problem for other team on D also forcing their Power Forward to come outside to defend these players. It will be a fun year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a fun year. We're going to have to do a lot of the small ball I think. We will be fun to watch on offense hopefully, especially with more weapons than last year. But as you said it might hurt us defensively and rebounding since we don't really have another big to play with or really behind Horace, unless I'm just having a major brain fart right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
