I think this team needs to shake things up a bit. Yes, we were robbed at Duke, but it wasn't like we played a great game. Nor have we played well at all of late.
For some reason Jimmy has ignored my countless posts on seeing what Buss and/or Roberson might bring to the table if given some run. So, I will assume that more posts along those lines will not convince Jimmy to change his ways.
It seems to me that other than adding depth our biggest single need right now is an O spark off the bench.
So, my solution would be to start Silent G ahead of Trevor. This accomplishes a few things:
1. It will take some pressure off of Trevor who by and large hasn't played well in ACC action other than the ND game.
2. Trevor is a better scorer than G which increases the likelihood of giving us that spark off the bench.
3. It will balance our rotation better because right now G comes in w BMK, so we are putting two non-scorers on the floor simultaneously.
4. G delivers more assists and boards than does does Trevor as well as more length so he might meld better with the other four starters.
5. If Trevor doesn't start, maybe he will be less of a focal point for our opponents defenses which will in turn open up better looks for him.
6. G is gradually improving his scoring, maybe a starters job would put his confidence over the top.
