Williams has higher upside than Brown. Brown is a very good player. But unless Brown develops a three point shot he can use in games, Williams gives us much more if he can reach his potential. I feel as if Brown is nearing his potential already. There is a reason he wasn't heralded nearly as much as Williams coming out of high school.
That said, I've come around to the Brown, Williams, Copeland, Starling, Mintz lineup is probably our best.
If Taylor, Bell and McLeod are starting, they better do something productive quickly, or the reserves who are proving to be more effective should be coming in sooner.
We need the starters to play enough minutes, if only so the best lineup doesn't suffer overuse as the season goes on.
One thing we haven't mentioned is the psychological effects of having McLeod in there for a few minutes to start the game... After he blocks a few shots, does that get into the head of players as their driving, even after he's on the bench?
