Jan 30 @ Georgia Tech, Florida State (10-3) Loss vs. Georgia Tech, 65-76, 14. 
With another season, he mightve been a first-rounder. Patrick, Dok
Evans, Stephen
I would love for Florida State to split his time at the 4 and the 5 throughout the season, even though hes your likely starter at the 4. Through the first 8 games, he was only averaging 3.1 PPG shooting 30% from the floor and 9.1% from 3. Our reasoning for presenting offensive logos. Hines Jr. Keyshawn
A few losses were unexpected. Harris, DJ

The loss of Koprivica was a big blow, his departure was a big surprise to many fans, and his progression by the end of the season was apparent to anyone who watched. Placer, Jonathan I remember when he first transferred in from Rice, and the workouts hed have to do while the team was on road trips during the 2018-19 season. Gibson, Donnie His handle for his size is honestly incredible, he can shoot the 3 fairly well, has solid athleticismthe ability for him to grab a rebound and immediately push the break is rare for someone of his size. View Full Bio, Ryan
On the other hand, Ngom has a really smooth shooting stroke for someone of his size. He was 17 for 19 on the season from the free throw line (his 89.5% was the best on the team), and Im confident he could expand his game to 18-20 feet if it was necessary.

McCullum, Willie
FSU requires a lot out of their bigs, especially on defense. With more true centers on the roster this year and a full offseason, its just time to go back to switching 1 through 4 and letting the 5 hedge or drop. Rowe, Jason

Offensively, no one will have plays run through them as much as Koprivica did last season, and most of these guys have similar skillsets. Associate Head Coach Stan Jones has been one of the best developers of big men during his time in Tallahassee, especially recently.

IHMgPSBkb2N1bWVudC5jcmVhdGVFbGVtZW50KCJzY3JpcHQiKSwgZWwgPSBk Conwell, Selton Hes a developmental prospect that hopefully well look back at in a couple of seasons and see a player that has blossomed into a great rim-running, shot-blocking big. Wagers, Billy His role was to set screens and roll hard to suck the defense in, when in reality he only shot the ball about 3 times a game despite playing about 16 minutes per contest and starting 19 of them. This team is losing an enormous amount of production from last years Sweet 16 team: 65.7% of scoring is gone, as well as 70% of assists, 55.1% of rebounds, 60.4% of steals, and 59% of blocks. FSU allowed 0.815 PPP on PnR Ball Handler situations (277th Nationally), and that has a lot to do with bigs switching onto guards.

Dec 12, Florida State (3-0) Win vs. Florida, 83-71, 4. Of all the players on the roster, Butler is arguably the biggest unknown. What exactly is Florida State going to get from Ngom this season? Corey It looked like the teams time off was exactly what he needed to learn the system and know how to operate inside of it. Klatsky, Anthony Calleja. If that version of Malik Osborne shows up this season, Florida State wont have too much to worry about with him. Mar 3, Florida State (15-4) Win vs. Boston College, 93-64, 20.

When the Seminoles came out of the first COVID pause in January, Ngom looked like a much better, more confident player with two games in four with multiple blocks and only missed three total shots the entire month. With Ngom, Ballard, and McLeod, what theyre best at is protecting the rim, they shouldnt be drawn away from the basket unless the guard gets hit hard on the screen, then switch on emergency. He has great hands, good shot-blocking instincts, and has the ability to stretch out to 15-feet. All logos are the trademark & property of their owners and not Sports Reference LLC. Kennen, Bruce Bailum, Cole cnNpb24gb2YgY3MuanMgc28gd2UgYWx3YXlzIGhhdmUgdGhlIGxhc3QgdmVy Alas, Koprivica moved to the NBA and FSU is now in a situation with a ton of inexperience at a position they require a lot out of. If they plan to keep him as a full-time 4, hes going to have to improve as a ball-handler and operate in pick-and-rolls. Powers III, Isaac Ruzhentsev, Alex Jan 13, Florida State (6-2) Win vs. NC State, 105-73, 9. He shot three 3s last season (all unnecessary), so he certainly has the confidence in himself for it. a2V0YmFsbC1yb3N0ZXIiCiAgfSk7CiAgKGZ1bmN0aW9uKCkgewogICAgdmFy Projected Season Stats: 4.5 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 0.2 APG, 0.3 SPG, 1.0 BPG 51.5/0.0/82.5, Last Season: 5.9 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.4 SPG, 0.4 BPG 42.2/36.5/83.8. This group has talent, but very little experience, outside of Osborne.
Its probably going to be a little bit of everything, but I wouldnt be surprised if the staff keeps him on ice for most of this season as he bulks up.

If Gray and/or Koprivica come back for another season, youre looking at a team with very few weaknesses and a ton of experience, but they were both drafted in the NBA, and FSU is now looking at a guard-heavy team, which is almost a complete turnaround from last season. Riffe, Luchi Despite two different positions in two straight seasons, his statistics from 19-20 to 20-21 hardly changed, just look at these advanced statistics via KenPom. White, Al There is no additional information to display. bjsKICAgICAgICB3W2xdPXdbbF18fFtdO3dbbF0ucHVzaCh7J2d0bS5zdGFy Once we got into late February and into tournament play however, his performances significantly dropped. Try and get as many easy catches near the rim as possible, I dont think youll see nearly as many post entries with the big set 10-12 feet away from the basket like we did last year since Koprivica was fluid and mobile enough to make it work. Barrs, Alex And while its great that hes been consistent the last two seasons, FSU will need him to pick up his scoring, similar to what he was doing at the end of last season. bS9ucy5odG1sP2lkPUdUTS1NRjZQWFhDJmFtcDtndG1fYXV0aD1LaEg2aGVD Andrews, Saiyd Is he playing backup minutes at the 4 or the 5?

Z3RtX2F1dGg9JysnS2hINmhlQ3BvV0pVSG5xVnpkRWE3dycrCiAgICAgICAg Im hoping that FSU moves away from switching everything this season, unless Osborne or Butler is at the 5.

Feb 27 @ UNC, Florida State (14-4) Loss vs. North Carolina, 70-78, 19. There is no additional information to display: Its kind of hard to believe this is Osbornes senior season in Tallahassee. This season though, I think its going to be very similar to what we saw last year as he continues to improve and learn the system. Locke, Keyontae Mincy, Darris Question, Comment, Feedback, or Correction? A foul every three minutes is not what Florida State needs out of its centers. In the past, Ive split this up into two separate articles with one highlighting the returners and the other focusing on the incoming talent, but this year Ill be splitting it into three parts: Guards, Wings, and Bigs, all of which we will cover over the span.
