Message: [QUOTE="Waltdods, post: 932297, member: 2932"] I have literally no idea whether Obokoh can contribute, but if he can I think there's no question you burn the redshirt here. RF's point on this isn't promising, and if he can't contribute, then you don't play him. (Although "can't" has to be measured against the alternatives, which in a Keita-less world aren't great.) But saving the redshirt is not a reason. Hell, if he was able to contribute, it's a near-certainty he'd end up with more minutes than Patterson or Johnson, so it is hard to even describe it as a "burn." That said, Boeheim's tendency has always been to use the guys he trusts, even if that means some weird positional choices or kids playing a gazillion minutes. So while I think many coaches might reach for Obokoh (again if Keita's out), it doesn't quite strike me as Boeheim's MO. [/QUOTE]
