Shevon Thompson

[A.-Siegfried]

Dixon needs to redshirt and get on the Jalen Jenkins weight-gain plan. Jalen put on about 30 pounds during his redshirt season.

This is an excellent idea.

Yeah, I don't see why we should even play Dixon considering the number of front court players we have available. And if we just need a body, I would think it's Relvao, considering the dude is 6-9, 240.

Relvao is a partial qualifier and will red shirt this season.

Ah, my bad. I did see that and totally forgot. I still think we're fine with the four-man rotation we have, as long as DP can coach away some of the foul-tendencies a few of them have.

It's quite possible that some of the foul tendencies were exacerbated by the previous regime's defensive scheme.

I would put money on it.

Our bigs' propensity for fouling was directly related to the fact that Hewitt required his guards to apply constant ball pressure, only to get blown by repeatedly and force a big to come over to prevent a layup.

Paulsen's defensive scheme will help in that regard because, similar to the Pack-Line system that UVa runs, he coaches a more compact defensive structure that doesn't gamble for steals but stifles penetration and aims to force the opponent into taking a contested perimeter shot.

We have to fill 80 mpg at the 4 and 5 spots. Barring injury or foul trouble, Shevon is playing at least 30 mpg (probably more). I'm confident that Jalen, Marko and Julian can hold down the remaining 45-50 minutes.

If we get in a bind, we could always opt to burn Dixon's redshirt. But best-case scenario is to give him a year to put on weight.

   I see Shevon Thompson in the mold of Youssou Ndoye from St. Bonaventure last year. He will get training camp, D-league looks next year.

   Another NBA sleeper I see in the fold is from the bottom tier in Mason's Shevon Thompson. Can't teach 6'11 and that rebounding ability.

Shevon Thompson had 16 double-doubles last season. Picking up right where he left off. Heard he had one in scrimmage Sat. 4 days to tip off!

 

[By George.]

Thanks for the love Pablo! If Shevon goes to the league, I will order that jersey on draft night. I still don't understand how Mike Mo is not in the D-League but maybe he chooses not to be.


How many double doubles will Shevon have this season? I believe he will have 18 at least and get drafted in the first round!!

I think Shevon's numbers will remain rather consistent. I think he will get better but he won't have as many rebounds and put backs as last year. Overall, I could see an identical statistical season as last year.

As for the NBA, he'll definitely have eyes on him. He has to deliver in big games in order to secure any NBA(D) dreams.

Money isn't even close when comparing overseas leagues to D-league

According to DP, Shevon had 20 pts and 11 boards with 0 TOs vs Rutgers in their scrimmage

This is good news! BTW, I hope that the NCAA is not monitoring this board.

The NCAA now allows coaches/teams to release statistics for scrimmages after they are played.
