Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4478801, member: 40"] Really, the elephant in the living room is the lack of productivity from the starting forward tandem, relative to the reserves. And I'm not trying to throw Benny / Bell under the bus -- but they are inconsistent, at best. Benny is a five-star recruit. It makes sense that he [as a non-frosh] is being given the opportunity to start, but if he doesn't produce any given game, then it should just be a token start. Set aside the HS rankings -- if players like Brown and Taylor are playing at a higher level, then they should get the bulk of the minutes. And I extrapolate that to JBA. Lowest rated guy on the roster. But unless I'm mistaken, this is his fourth year in the program, and he's clearly a guy that JB trusts. Plus, he isn't playing badly. So that explains why he's getting minutes -- JB plays guys that he trusts. At the end of the day, we need to play the guys who deliver. Doesn't matter who they are. [/QUOTE]
