It just appears that our losses are a result of just seven players being delegated to carry the load, over the course of games, which has resulted in getting behind on the scoreboard especially towards the end of games and....has resulted in a three game losing streak. What I am saying is, midway through the second half, our starting big's are either all tuckered out or in foul trouble.
Interesting. I'm not sure I agree with you. I don't think either guy has proven they deserve minutes in a close game.
And remember, Gene didn't always go very deep. A lot of times, he kept it pretty tight at 7-8 except in rare instances.
Andersons style allows you to play more guys. But I'm not convinced its "better" just because we had some good seasons.
I think Rob is going to be reluctant to use either unless foul trouble necessitates. (In close games)
I think our top 3 are a lot better than the next 2.
And, without foul trouble, you can go 33,30 and 17 minutes.(80 total)
Foul trouble is a reality though.
Despite Gueyes two 3 pointers in one game, I'm not convinced he makes us better at the 3 or the 4.
He has lots of upside so he was a great signee. And we will absolutely need him this year.
Smallwood, I'm just not sure. Seems to be a great kid with a great attitude but I have not seen even a hint of Allen Ogg in him.
