Good grief. Withers is grossly overrated. I have no confidence that he is going to be anything more than average. I wish I did because we desperately need him to be.

I think Marvin Williams was the best 6th Man, ever!

Danny Green was also a killer off the bench. When he was hot he could shoot the 3 as well as anyone.

I can see a combo of Seth and JWit being one of our best bench combos. Marv and DG are definitely up there though! I think JWit will start but if not, I expect he will see a significant amount of time at 4! Who starts if JWit doesn't? Seth could be one of our best 6th men by himself!

I didn't include Danny since he started his senior year.

That makes sense. For some reason I always remember him as the sixth man coming off the bench. And as the guy who would get the arena fired up during Jump Around

Same here, but he started that year only because Marcus missed the season. Danny was a really good sixth man as a freshman. Such a solid all-around player.

Danny was 7th in minutes per game as a freshman.

Sixth man meaning bench player for clarification.

Always the antagonist. Removed. No personal attacks.

If I had to bet $100, I’d bet AJ agrees, he just can’t say so.

Overrated in the conversation as best reserve ever at UNC yes, but Withers is a special athlete.

I think of it this way, what do we look like without Withers? Ummm.. IDK

I always thought 6th man meant specifically the top bench player. Like Kukoc for the '96-'98 Bulls championships. Or Marvin Williams in '05.

 

[DaveChapelle]

Personally I think Trimble will be the top player off the bench this season, and we'll play a lot of small ball.

It does but it doesn’t have to be in minutes played. Most minutes off the bench sometimes is for the guys who always fouls and people you are protecting. And in his freshman year he was better than the “6th” man in minutes, which was Ginyard.

The piece is about top reserves, sixth man can be a generalization in this discussion. If I was handing out an award, then I'd be a stickler to it, but I'm not.

JWit to me is an enigma, kid has raw talent literally dripping off of him, his problem is between his ears. His jump shooting form is not awful, would seem to defy the fact that he was not an efficient shooter. He began last season and it looked to me that he was really more focused to proving he deserved to be a starter, rather than meshing his game into the teams. He forced things that just were not there, Caleb, he rushed everything rather than take his time, again Caleb?

Example, I watched Ingram last season jump shooting, he was flirting at 50% from 3 for a large part of the season. But Ingram's jump shot was a modified set shot, started out low, low release point, and slow release on it, he took his time with it, didn't rush. Withers to me had much better shooting form but Ingram specialized in taking good shots, open jumpers from distance, nothing rushed and Withers seemed to rush everything. Withers did seem to slow down as the season progressed and his play was noticeable better but you could still count on a couple of real bone headed decisions a game and that they were going to hurt us when they happened. So I lost a lot of trust in him and that is still my view.
