A six man rotation in todays basketball, plus it hurts recruiting. If we're gonna lose lets do it trying to develop the center postion. l love Buddy but you can't play him 35 minutes if he's not bringing offense to the floor. Coach is doing everything he can to get him to the next level and it's hurting the team .
 
We have a PF, maybe even a SF (Marek) playing center. No other viable options. We have 3 players who are clueless on defense (BB, JG, and AG). We have one player who can go 1-on-1 (Griffin) and be effective. Our top recruit, Richmond, can't or won't shoot. 1-6. I could go on but the point is this team has too many holes in it to be a competitive in this league. Maybe if Sidibe did not go down in the first 4 minutes of the season.
 
You can win with a 7 man rotation.
If the rotation are a balanced team.

You don’t just play 7 to play 7 though.

Yeah, this is the one I find strange all the time, "but 'Nova does it."

Well, we can do it too. When we have G at PG, or MCW, or people playing various positions that rebound/pass/dribble/defend - it can work out well. It's fine to go with a short bench at those times. It's less fine, likely more dangerous to go short bench, when you have players that have big holes in their game.
 
Honestly with Sidibe we would probably be 3-1 in the acc and far better than last years team, even without Hughes. Frustrating. The college game has evolved into miss one position and not be in the top 50. Take virginia losing as a 1 seed for an example.

It’s not one position, and even if true it’s an issue if the difference between 3-1 and 1-3 is Bourama Sidibe.
