This is where I am now.  Let BJ play awful defense down low, and see if his offense comes around a bit.  We saw him score 20+ in the operner, so it's not like he's some hopeless  that can't put a round ball in the basket.

Have G and Cooney up top, it's not like we lose much.  We get a pretty bad defensive BJ down low, in place of a bad defensive guard up top.  It's a wash, and honestly since ACC play started G hasn't been as effective on the boards anyway.  BJ seems to have a knack for that.

As someone that thought JB's quick hooks did little to help Rak early on, I'm okay in this "lost season" to force feed the kid some minutes.  If he flops - he flops.  But we're doing that for Joseph, so why not hand off some minutes for BJ and see if he rises to the challenge.  The quick hook just makes the kids press too much IMO - they end up looking like walk-ons, just chucking crap up because and playing scared they think they have to impress to stay on the court.  It just leads to rushing everything, and more mistakes...a snowball effect.

Let them settle in, and keep impressing upon them that the defensive effort keeps them on the court...
