Thirty Minute Men

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Looking back over the last 10 years we had 10 players who averaged 30 minutes or more per game in at least 1 season.

Reggie Bullock
JM McAdoo
Marcus Paige*
Joel Berry
Justin Jackson
Luke Maye
Kenny Williams
Cole Anthony
Garrison Brooks
Brandon Robinson

Several more just barely missed the 30 mpg cutoff.

JP Tokoto (29.1)
Theo Pinson (29.7)
Cam Johnson (29.9)
Leaky Black (29.7)

I'd like to have a true center, but I think even I could probably coach that team. I'd just use the Ted Lasso approach.

Who starts????

[* Marcus is the only player on this list who averaged over 30 mpg for his UNC career (32.4). Foot problems and all.]

JB, MP, JJ, JMM, GB!

JB, MP, JJ, JMM, GB!

I was thinking along those lines, but would put Luke in at PF. We get them at their best, and Luke as a junior was pretty darn good. Plus JMM works well coming off the bench to back up either front liner. Reggie is my backup wing. The question is whether to slide Marcus to PG when Berry needs a rest or to bring in Cole Anthony.

I struggled with Bird and Bullock! I skew toward size and if JB is PG you can't sit Marcus! I think bringing in Bird after the opposing 4 has banged and chased the athletic JMM will be a great change of pace! I can see it working really well the other way too though! Think about how tough JB at point and Cole at 2 would be to deal with, lol! (Cole and MP are also a problem!)

I'm playing small ball and the defense has to cover the entire floor.
