2 exhibitions, 4 halves of basketball. A different lineup to start each half. So who will it be vs. Elon???
Who Starts Monday NIght?
- Thread starter HoopsCoach42
- Start date
EC, RJ, JWash are the easy picks. Going to be hard not to start Seth at the 3. Is it Tyson, JWit, or Lubin at the 4, I will go with JWit.
Yup. That was made abundantly clear in the last exhibition. Those are our starters.
If Seth has in fact locked up a starter job, then yes.
We have the "big" option with Withers at the 4, but Cade is likely gonna start either way, given Hubert's affinity for fire-power.
That certainly wouldn't be surprising. Then again, we probably need to see our bigs play more ahead of the Kansas game. So maybe start 2 bigs?
The other bigs don't need to start to get more burn. But I do think it would be good to give them more burn.
Maybe JWash can handle Hunter for 25-30 minutes, but I don't want to have to depend on that. And even if he can, who handles the other 10-15 mins? I don't know enough about KU's roster. Will we need to start 2 bigs?
Lubin has been looking quietly efficient, and somewhat better than JWit, but still with a suspect motor. Is Claude just going to be a mop-up guy? He looked better than that to me, but on only a few minutes.
I don't mind the lineup as of now when no games have been played. But if it turns out that Cadeau and Seth are bad 3PT shooters again, I'm not sure the two of them can work together offensively. There's a lot of buzz about those 2 but they obviously have to prove it. I'm also not sure if it will work of those 2 guys turn down wide open 3s too. But have to see how good RJ/Tyson/Washington play together before anything definitive.
Claude is academically ineligible. That isn't going to change in the middle of fall semester. Absolute best case scenario is he becomes eligible for spring semester if his fall grades raise his GPA back above the minimum.
Kansas is just one of several front courts that are going to be bigger and stronger than us in our out of conference slate. We don't have the bigs to deal with them head to head. So we have to lean into our strengths. Most of our talent is perimeter players. So we play small and fast, and hopefully force the big teams to go small to match up with us.
I agree and really just going off of what they did in the few times we’ve seen them early. I don’t understand where the Seth is a poor deep shooter stuff comes from. He shot right at 42% last year. He hesitates and I hate it. I think just by his play in the two tune up games that he’s gained some confidence. EC is the one who has to improve from deep. I think he has but I want to see it in games as well.
