who will be the new starting 5?

[Dubl R 1]

With Ray Brown as the sixth man.

As for me, I'll go with:
Lavin
Robertson
Phillips
Goertzen and...?

Maybe, we havn't seen this yet, who knows what they can do.

Goertzen
Warren

Not to take this in a different direction, but if the Wilkins family had all of their ducks in line, shouldn't they have had high HS information ready to hand over? Maybe they did, and the NCAA wants more, who knows. Regardless, it doesn't sound like JW is going to be playing basketball anywhere anytime soon.

It said they had to go through the Belgian govt.....YIKES...no burecracy there huh.

I really don't see much of a difference who starts. If we don't play more fundamentally sound than we are now the results will be the same......

Only problem I have w/ this is that we will need Norris at some point and I feel Sammy and Dodie will both produce better if they're not playing so many minutes...especially Sammy...

That and I think before the end of the year, Darian will win us some games w/ his shooting...I still feel as though he is the best pure shooter from 3 that we have...he just needs to get a few minutes in and get on a roll so to speak.

I know what your saying my friend, I like Darian too and think he is a real deal. I just feel we need to tighten up the rotation. I feel that as of today SM, DD and EM have shown to be the three best guards. I also think moving TW out to the 3 will help these guards with their D. I also like the idea of AT working into the line up at the 4 next to SS. That will give us a better inside game while giving AT a chance to play more and get a feel for D-1 play without just throwing him to the wolfs. He is really skinny and the 4 is the best spot for him right now, also SS is playing pretty good and this would help his game to. With TB and CR coming in off the bench will give us a big lift at the 3 & 4 and maybe TB at the 5 at times against smaller line ups or for short runs.
As you know SLB22 so far this team has shown it is not a good 3 point shooting team and we haven't been able to establish a inside game. My opinion is by improving the inside game with AT, SS, and TW will lead to better looks and more time for the 3 point shot. I know how you feel about DC, as I am frustrated with his play but maybe, just maybe he can come off the bench at some point like he did last year in the CBI and help the team.
Thats my spell how I see us turning this thing around and competing for the MVC title. I still think with the way the valley is this year, we have as much chance as any one to win it. Just got to do a 180 and get back on top of our game.

Excellent way of putting it and I can't disagree w/ you there.

Also, am I the only one that feels maybe Sammy should be our 6th man? After watching him play last year, I feel like maybe he would serve us better being that spark off the bench to come in and knock down some shots once the game has gotten going a little bit...

Also, I feel this would be better for him as it would limit his minutes...and you can still have him in there at the end of the game when it matters most..

I just have felt that Jim has him playing too many minutes and he'll wear down from his bumps, bruises, and just simply from playing too much....


Jim really needs to get closer to evening up the minutes for Edge, Sammy, and then still give some to Darian...I'm counting on D-Norris to knock down some big shots before the end of the season for us.


Thoughts?

NO! I'm with you and I'll take it one step further. We need to put SM in a position to succeed. I'd like to use him as the 2 guard and add him in as an instant scorer for us. We need to start the games going hard to the rim and when teams adjust then send SM in to start shooting wide open shots.

[BU_EMT128]

I agree with leaving SM as our sixth man. It will keep him much fresher, and enable him to utilize his strengths.
