Minutes

Postby Kevin Reilly » Sat Jul 18, 2026 4:14 pm

I think Pozzato, Nwoken and Milicevic will start and all play around 20 -25 minutes, Doesn't leave a lot of time for Aligbe, Chitkousdis Borovivicanin and Dominquez. It's going to be hard to keep all these guys happy. Especially if Borovicanin gets over 20 minutes which i think he will. Is this really a 12-14 million dollar roster like Timeless said?

Dominquez will start. I can see Pozzzato coming off the bench. Dominquez is one of the best shooters in the country.

I agree Pozzato is going to need to really impress because Dominquez can ball
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Dominguez can shoot the three but offers very little in other aspects of the game. Last season he averaged 23 minutes a game with 10.2 points a game with 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists. He only shoot 40% from the field while also shooting 40% from the three. He seems like a player from last years team. Is Pozzato hurt again?

I am hearing Pozzato is athletically a slasher but falls in love with the three too much. I also hear Dominguez will be a major factor on the offense, so either Pozzato or Dominguez will be a plus. House might be the sleeper. Plays defense and looks capable of running the offense. Granted, he is a freshman and will make freshman mistakes.

My concern is the backup big men. Nwoko is fine and shows a lot of ability, and Aligbe is a good rim protector. I think the Potino magic will be how and where he plays the big men, and I include Elson.

My spies tell me the biggest concern might be Westry.

I think the D will be very good from the guards with Tru and House; overall, the D will still be a concern based on present looks.

The D will definitely be a concern with Dominguez and Milicevic on the court at the same time, so their offense has to make up for their deficiencies on D. This is much like the Bluiett-Macura era. Great offensive players, but they were exposed so much on D. No one did it better than Nova, when they would iso guys like Bridges on Blueitt and back him down every chance they had.

Happy to have Pozzato as a backup option, who I think will get near starter minutes anyway.

Supposedley House and Alston have also impressed, along with another guy no one has mentioned: Westphal. Pitino has a lot more options thisyear.
