No stupid “start 5 big men or start 5 point guards”suggestions have been made til you brought it up.
Starting the best 5 players was mentioned more than once.
Last season when Mahki was injured, it was important to have at least one of Mahkel or Walker on the court which meant playing a smaller line-up when one was out.
I have no idea whether el amin is better than Carey or how long it will take for injured players to return to form. You need to be most competitive for a 40 minute game. There is too much potential in Carey to give up on him as long as the effort is there to improve.
A head coach on thin ice will have trouble recruiting. Your negativity is a prescription for failure. So RI. GO RHODY!!!!
Playing the best 5 is of course playing the best 5 within the confines of positioning.
Dowtin never should have been moved to off guard his Jr and Sr seasons. One of the best PGs we have ever had and we moved him
Toppin should have played 10 more minutes per game than he did. One of main reasons he left was playing time which made the Kentucky Blue Grass much greener
Walker should have played 5-10 more minutes per game
Harris should have played fewer
Russell should have played fewer minutes considering his multiple injuries - plus we had guard depth but didn’t utilize the depth as we could have. His green light to shoot and shoot some more was absurd
Leggett should have been in the starting line up sooner
Carey should have not started to begin the season. Turnover prone at Syracuse and at URI. Not a good passer, shooter or ball handler.
Only 1 transfer in and we are staying with last years 10-15 line up. Time will tell but could be players should have moved in to make room for more transfer talent.
