I sure hope not. We don't have 7 guys who don't have major holes in their games.
To play a short rotation and not suck, you have to have guys who can do all three - score, rebound and defend. We don't have many of them.
That's why he should be playing more guys situationally.
For example:
- Our best center is not a rim protector. The one we do have doesn't play AT ALL.
- Our designated transfer PG is really bad at defense, and seems a bit scared of this level.
- Our best returning shooter appears to be a bit of a head case because he's started the season poorly, and threatens to implode. Oh, and he only occasionally plays defense. You can't rely on him, because if he's not making shots, he sulks.
- We have a couple promising young forwards - Petar and Donnie - and should play them together a bit more often. I feel like Petar's fundamentals and positioning help Donnie, and Donnie's athleticism helps Petar.
- Jyare Davis is a dog. I would love to see him take some of Chris Bell's time. Either Chris quits or he produces. We should have a "no prima donnas" policy going forward.
