JB should play all the young dudes more historically IMO.....and I think he's handled Buddy perfectly.

A good example, sitting him against Va. Tech.  He couldn't have handled that defensive pressure very well - at least I doubt it.  So, unless the right situation presents itself that game, let him sit.  Otherwise, you get him minutes because he has a skill we can use if he can acclimate himself to game pressure - that's in spite of the fact that he was shooting at sub-Ron Patterson, etc...RED LIGHT, called out in press conferences for being worthless-type shooting levels for most of the first half of the season.  It's the way I've always wanted him to get the young dudes into the rotation.

I think with Carey we missed some chances to get him more PT as we tried to get Frank back and healthy.  Frank though, wow, he's giving us crap.

However, chalk it up to whatever you want, Carey is a mess right now.  He sees a defender, blows by, and loses the ball.  It's almost every time.  I'm not sure you can keep dealing with that.....maybe just tell him to focus on doing nothing but handing the ball off to Tyus if you think his D is better than Frank's?  I just don't see it the easy answer on this one.

I mean, JB is in a rough spot at the PG position.  Who do you roll the dice on while trying to win enough to get into the tourney?  At least Frank has some history...   They're both sort of useless of late - but Frank doesn't turn the ball over at that rate - but maybe JC improves?   Honestly, usually I think JB effs up the young players a bit regarding their PT, but because of Frank's injury, I think this was a rough one to deal with, and I don't envy him.

The fact that Frank has been pretty awful has made it harder, not easier, IMO for JB regarding the rotation at the PG spot.

Honestly, OB might be a better PG than those two at the moment.  :)
