JT needs out of the lineup

[Cuse_NYC]

It’s enough. He can’t do anything on either end and seems to be lacking effort now. Let anyone else get minutes at this point. It’s glaringly obvious.

 

[HoustonCuse]

I agree. I thought he had potential last year, but he’s shown absolutely no ability to play at an ACC level. He’s basically Benny without the upside (and you’ll find no bigger critic of Benny than I am).

 

[Giants1973]

Time for Copeland in starting line up

Red might as well put Taylor and JJ on the bench, Start Copeland, and Carey, even if the kid gets beat up, he will bring energy.

 

[Eric15]

In our last six games against P5 opponents, Taylor is 5-27 from the field.

yeah but Copeland had 0 assists and 6 turnovers...hes not really ready for quad 1 teams, either, unfortunately

(i still take him over taylor, though, obviously)

 

[Grbac]

Taylor is Reds Girard. Except Girard could produce most of the time. You would almost have to try to be as useless as Taylor. It blows my mind.

none of the forwards are good...although bell actually played pretty well this game, imo...he is the one I keep.

JB kept Kadary on the bench for Girard/Buddy. big difference

who is Red keeping on the bench for taylor?

benny, q etc are brutal

Q had 6 turnovers, 0 assists vs UNC FYI...quadir has promise but still a long way to go.

during portal season, most posters were expecting some forwards to be brought in, none were.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Fine with me, but I don’t think it matters much. It’s not like Benny gives us much either. There’s not many moves to make to make us better.

 

[GardenOrange]

Not too much talent to go to otherwise, but Taylor is really struggling and today lacked effort on top of that. Recruiting is going to have to improve by leaps and bounds.

 

[23Zone]

Agree completely. He gave 26 minutes of nothing. And that is putting it nicely. He is not an ACC caliber player.

 

[23Zone]

Furthermore I'm starting to lose confidence in red. How can he justify playing him that much?

 

[tptcuse]

We clearly need to give Red time, but how he saw these forwards and thought everything would work out is beyond me.

 

[two3zone]

Id rather Taylor almost. At least he doesn’t do anything.

 

[PoppyHart]

He looks straight out of central casting, if you were filming a basketball movie. But something's not translating.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So I thought Taylor would be on the outside looking in for playing time.

But then we lost Westry.

And then Benny blew up, in the wrong way.

Maybe Taylor playing wasn't really in the plans.

 

[tbonezone]

lotta donuts in justins stat line for 26 minutes . and oddly on a day when bell goes 3-3 deep we get him just 5 shots.

Bulldog alluded to he was a big part of the plans.

Did he? I don't recall that.

Game thread today.

 

[sufan59]

We need him to knock down shots. I think maybe taking some responsibility off such as taking him out of the starting lineup, can hopefully help him regain his shot.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Game thread today.

Wait, I just checked the game thread. He said the complete opposite - said Taylor was given the talk at the end of last season and Taylor tried to work hard and stick it out.

I took it as Red asked him if he was ready and he said yes and that’s why he’s a part of the plans. If he wasn’t I doubt he would’ve been the first to start over Benny when he was out.

Well that’s embarrassing.

That was my thinking as well. I never saw JT being a major part of this team.
