A big issue is inconsistency, so who plays best from game to game will vary.

However, it does appear that our best lineup is now Ty, Buddy, Oshae, Elijah, and Marek.

I believe out of respect to seniors that Frank and Chuk will continue to start, but that they will get relatively quick hooks unless they appear to be playing well.

Ty at PG is interesting. he appears to be more comfortable than he was earlier this season, which makes sense as he spends more time in the role. He did have seven assists against the ville, but all were perimeter assists. That shows he is not forcing things and getting the ball out of his hands quickly when he doesn't have an opening. However, he has not yet shown an ability to break down a D, the way a true great PG does.

Really nice to see Buddy developing ahead of schedule and earning his minutes.

Oshae coming on lately.

Hopefully Elijah has broken his slump.

Marek needs to build on yesterday's performance. Still not aggressive enough on O - he only took three shots.

All in all, I think we could play with anybody when all cylinders click, but we are taking treys and that has become a big part of our O and shooting can easily come and go from game to game.
 
Who is this "Ty" of whom you speak?
 
Agreed that the team is now playing its best ball when these five are on the court. Neither Buddy nor Marek get much in terms of style points but they make plays on both sides of the court and the ball moves notably better when they are out there
 
Our "best" lineup will vary from game to game, depending on who is playing well, the score/game situation, and how well we match-up with the opposing team. For exmple, there have been games where Chukwu has been effective offensively, games where his defensive presense and rebounding have been a big factor, and other games he has hardly played.
 
Battle, Brissett, Boeheim, and Dolezaj should be in there. Then whomever is hot from the other three guys. Even if that means dropping Battle to F on D.
