DNG, Point Guard and next year

Okay, so GC’s comments in one of his below posts got me off the ledge ;-). The DNG news surprised me because he seemed to have even more minutes coming his way next season. His offense definitely approved, but I saw holes in his defensive play. My amateur eyes saw him struggle with switching and help defense. We would have struggled against ACC bigs next year if our 4s and 5s were Big John, DNG, Kidd, and the frosh 7 footer. With 2 of the 4 gone, I hope Plan B (ie transfer portal) provides us some ACC caliber bigs. Do you all think Kidd has more potential than DNG? Didn’t get to see much of him to judge his game.

Next question - who is going to back-up Pedulla? Please don’t tell me Hunter because he is much more effective at the 2. Are we looking for PG help in the portal? I hope Pedulla can handle a ton of minutes without getting in foul trouble.

Final question - if Mutts leaves, and we get no additional portal players, what are your guesses for starting 5 and next 3 off the bench?

I'll bite on your worst case scenario. -- chagerma 04/29/2022 1:42PM

Here's my take.... -- vtbball80 04/29/2022 12:39PM

Kidd -- HokieInDenmark 04/30/2022 2:41PM

Yup ** -- VT ChemE 1986 04/29/2022 3:54PM

I like that line up. ** -- SCHokie1103 04/29/2022 2:51PM

Kidd: Didn't Realize He was a 4-Star Recruit for Clemson -- Hokdawg 04/29/2022 1:42PM

Lacks feel imo -- Rev.Zeke Vodka 04/29/2022 4:56PM

Lacks feel? Could you elaborate? ** -- YBYSAIAHokie 04/30/2022 1:21PM

No one at Clemson was disappointed he left. ** -- GreenvilleVT 04/29/2022 4:13PM

Yeah have been wondering about him myself. Thought he would play this past -- SCHokie1103 04/29/2022 2:52PM

Enrolled early…… -- RJHokie 04/29/2022 1:57PM

And 240 on him looks much different that 245 on Ojiako or 235 on Keve. ** -- chagerma 04/29/2022 4:19PM

Good stuff RJ. Thank you for that clarification. ** -- SCHokie1103 04/29/2022 2:52PM

I’d have to defer to others more knowledgeable… -- vtbball80 04/29/2022 1:52PM

Your assumption seems to be DNG choosing to leave VT involuntarily -- icelus 04/29/2022 1:24PM

There are limited, if any,.... -- 2hhoop3 04/29/2022 2:12PM

Thank you 2h. ** -- SCHokie1103 04/29/2022 2:54PM

I agree this move is more portal related for this year…. -- vtbball80 04/29/2022 1:44PM

Actually, not a bad lineup and agree more help is coming. ** -- BeachGobbler 04/29/2022 12:43PM

Some answers... -- GCHokie34 04/29/2022 12:21PM

Portal additions -- Midwestguy 04/29/2022 3:38PM

Thank you GC. Good info as always from someone who is knowledgeable. ** -- SCHokie1103 04/29/2022 2:55PM

Thank you - I forgot that Rice has nice ball-handling skills. ** -- BeachGobbler 04/29/2022 12:31PM
