Kowal would help on defense (height makes people adjust their shots near the hoops), Rucker would be playing in the right spot, and our rotation would be better....but only if he played like he wanted to be here.
I like what I have seen from Christian the past two games but I don't think his game is more suited for SG. Would not mind seeing more of him, less of Nixon in the next few games. I would agree he is a shooting guard more than point guard, but so are all the others who back up Hall. I think for a few minutes at a time Christian, Silas, Patton, Landers, and committee can spell Hall more than they do and we can survive offensively. Hall pushes the ball really well and fast. But it isn't like he is creating a ton of opportunities for others to score and maybe a little more rest would be beneficial.
Nixon was in a walking boot the other night and didn't play, and I'm guessing he won't play the next game or two at least either. So I guess you will get to see a lot more Christian than Nixon no matter how he plays!

We really seem to draw these type of guys, guys that are best suited in between positions, and have trouble locking into an identity.

The game today is absolutely gigantic. If NIU can somehow find a way to win this one, things could get interesting.
