Easiest no brainer way to make this suck less - play Betsey

[Millhouse]

He is shooting 44% from three

Why is he playing 17 min a game in conference

Anthony can't rebound, can't shoot, can't defend. When you're this terrible, it shouldn't be hard to get Betsey more minutes.

 

[CuseFan]

Betsey's defense is not very good either to be fair. Strangely, he tends to shoot well in the second half after starting 0 of whatever in the first half. But he has improved a lot since the beginning of the yera. He does rebound and seems to be trying.

Would require moving Kingz to shooting guard.

Would require moving Kingz to shooting guard.

Would love that, but it’s so late in the year that it is relatively pointless (shrink the rotation by one player and get more minutes for Betsey and S. White - might have been worth a try).

Next coach will use a more analytical approach.

Yes but compared to what?
Compared to players on his teams yes. Compared to anyone else eating his minutes?

Even better!!

Would require moving Kingz to shooting guard.

That's fine, IMO.

Playing Betsey more means somebody would have to sit.

Kyle? Hell no.
Freeman? Best overall potential on team, but maybe.
Kingz? Nah -- too important as a shooter / scorer.
JJ? Here you go.

JJ can still start, but I think his minutes go down to like 15 mpg. When he's out, Kingz shifts to the 2 and Betsey plays the 3.

That's the way to get more balanced shooting on the floor, and removing another ball stopper on offense.

Downside: the ball handling as a group goes way down.

Anthony and starling are really bad and kill them. George is too but what can you do. It would be addition by addition and addition by subtraction

Addition by subtrition? Addaction?

Lol appreciate the twist that you went to Kiyan as the thing plaguing us.

It would be like moving deck chairs on the Titanic. The ship is going down.

PS Betsey's defense is much too charitable.

if his name was vasquez he'd never play

 

[Nicknack]

Moving Kingz to shooting guard makes so much sense. I'd like to see more Betsey and Sadiq and a little less of Donnie (I hate to admit unless he's cooking).

Well it's not, and he does.

Entire season has been plague

 

[Marty McFly]

The issue has been NOT pulling players when they don't have it. Our dips this year have been fueled by players getting too long of a leash when they aren't performing. Some games the whole team is off, but most scoring runs by our opponents have been super charged by this big time.

Listen, our subs are pre-programmed for the first stoppage around the 13:00 mark.

If we deviated from that the players may start to struggle.

 

[jncuse]

At this point its probably best to give minutes to guys you want to keep / and reasonably think you can keep for next year.

Not sure if we can align it properly due to our coaching situation.

 

[LpoolNative]

Nobody will be back next year

Beyond horrible defender and rebounder

A HOLE TO HELL ITSELF WILL OPEN AT CENTER COURT AND PULL PLAYERS AND COACHES INTO ITS DEPTHS IF THOSE SUBS DO NOT COME IN, EN MASSE, AT THAT EXACT TIME

Thanks Tyler Betseys Uncle. Betsey is one of the two worst rated players on the team. He’s 6’8”, and stands outside chucking 3s all game. He does little else. Playing him more ain’t saving this team

Would require moving Kingz to shooting guard.

Kings can’t dribble well
Enough to play SG. I find it amazing the SG and SF on Cuse are like 50% from the FT line. Terrible team man
