Still, I think we need more than 6 guys in the rotation to give the coach options when we get in foul trouble or somebody gets hurt, even if the players aren't fatigued. The question is: who can give us that 7th or 8th guy and what does that player give us?

We have two guards: Kaleb Joseph and Franklin Howard. Joseph looked good in the exhibitions but has faded badly. And you wodner what watching games on the bench for 36 of 40 minutes is doing to him. I think Howard is better and could give us a third productive freshman if he gets the chance. But how much help do we need in the back court at this point?  In any competitive game, (and we've got some more coming up immediately), JB is going to go with Gbinije and Cooney just as much as he can.

The other guy is Okoboh. Nobody knows if he has any upside beyond what we've seen. I sense that he does but may not be far enough along with the game and hasn't had the playing time to develop his game. Winning big confrontations and building up the resume is fine but we need some games against lesser opponents to see if we can develop Obokoh, (as well as Joseph or Howard) into another alternative.
