Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 75115, member: 716"] I mean this in all seriousness: I think they see a player who should be able to give them quality minutes, solid defense, five fouls, and ten points a game if he starts, with the option to bring in Instant Offense. They also see a player who would retreat into a shell and give them none of those things (other than the fouls) if he's benched in favor of Waiters. It's for the forum to argue the merits of that decision-making, but they do have more information than we do. There's more to putting the puzzle together than just swapping guys' minutes and expecting them to perform the same as before. Just like Boeheim thought that Triche should start over Scoop in 2010, even when Scoop outperformed him and Triche started shooting 30% for weeks at a time, Boeheim likes the arrangement now, despite the fact that Triche's reserve has (in one game) outperformed him. We'll see how long this holds. [/QUOTE]
