Anything above 5 points a game I'll be surprised!! I actually think if they don't redshirt romine....vint will be about the same in the rotation as last year
I really hope so if he even gets 12 or 10 a game maybe I'm pushing it but you never know plus he's been around along time I see it as a 50/550. Let's hope it's on the he plus side....It will have to be
I hope you're right. I don't know what would change so drastically in the span of a season tho. Without fellow bigs, Lang and or Willms, Vint is gonna have to assume duties of banging with the big boys. Not exactly his strength, historically speaking. Also, he's gonna have to bring that career 27% FT average up a bit cuz he'll be at the line just a bit more. If his minutes do indeed increase significantly, personally I'd be pleased with 8 and 5, and 60% from the stripe. Anything more would be gravy imo.

Nothing wrong with having a 3pt shooting center as long as he can score inside as well.... Actually would rather have a center that has 3pt range than not because it will make the opposing teams center come out to guard him and take away a rim protector
Definitely Vint's strongest attribute. Can't imagine it won't be used a bit, and as you mentioned, even if just to clear the paint a little for some other guys to penetrate the lane. Would love for Hoop to surprise me.
I hear ya. Huge jump and perhaps I'm hoping for too much. I'm just hopeful that the percentage is skewed by the small sample size. He's only taken 60 FTs his entire collegiate career. Most of those attempts were during mop up duty, too. He has a nice soft touch from outside. I'm hopeful that Vint becomes more comfortable on the court his final year, and the shooter's touch translates to the stripe as well.
Not a string bean at all VA Miner about 230-240 going into this year, lean but strong saw him last week
Its a bad sign if he is shooting 27% from the line in only mop up duty. If he makes 1 out of every 4 free throws during no pressure mop up time, I don't even want to imagine what is going to happen during a competitive game.
