Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 170300, member: 906"] It has become obvious that Fair and Dion are so much better with Melo on the floor. But neither have the offense capabilities rolling without Melo to help form a triangle underneath the basket. Teams now have us scouted when Melo isn't in the game they didn't before. When Melo gets back [B]Offensively I think our best lineups are now upper and lower class. While that sounds like some strange attempt at wisdom its more just coincidence. I hope the coaches feel the say way that we are scouted out and exposed much more without Melo and try to get a 4th solid scorer in the lineup(going to have to be Southerland) to help Triche, KJO and Scoop(who have been awesome lately).[/B] upperclass lineup. 1.Triche, 2. Scoop, 3. KJo. 4. Southerland [B]My message to southerland. "Step it up your only as good as your weakest link."[/B] Southerland gives us a 4th spot up scorer [B]and gets better looks the Fair and Dion have been getting with the absence of Melo[/B]. Hence we get four scorers on the floor. Lowerclass lineup of. 1.Melo 2. Dion 3. Fair. 4. one of our guards. 5. one of our forwards as a 5th scorer or Rak for toughness on D. Where Rak fits in is yet to be seen as a freshmen. Maybe he will get it done as a PF. Needs to work hard on his conditioning to get up to the speed of the game if he want's more minute at PF in march. Hes a workmanlike type like Triche this year not a flashy freshmen. Time to buckle down! With Melo on the floor we go to 5 solid scorers from the 3-1/2 we have had in KJO, Triche, Scoop and Southerland. Southerland thets make that lineup 4!! Coaches need to get on Southerland big time and have him shoot to billion jumpers. He needs to shoot alot the next few weeks. One or two more losses won't mean much. But, building his confidence he can't shoot himself out of games and that we need him (100% not somebody else) to be a go to guy. That will make him all the better. I never thought I would see the day where seniority starting means nothing. We are truly blessed. Thets Go Cuse!! [/QUOTE]
