I have been making it a point to watch Milos carefully when he enters a game to see what kind of production he is having. It looks to me that his defense is not too bad..For the most part it is as good as anybody on the team. He seems to hustle, I have watched him get steals, and get some rebounds. If he is in any length of time he usually hits a three, and last night against Creighten he comes up with a nice, aggresive lay up. All things considered, he has been performing well during the little bits of time he gets in a game. My question is, why does he get so little playing time. He appears to have some potential, which will never be developed as he gets so little playing time, as opposed to some other players who get considerable more playing time that don't seem to have the same potential. For example, while I am a Jake Eastman supporter, I don't believe that Jake has near the potential that Milos has. Why is Milos not getting "player development" time??? Opinions, please...

No coach wants a recruiting mistake

IMO, you are preaching to the choir here as far as I am concerned. I have been posting for the last week that we need to give MK 6-8 minutes per game to see what we have and allow him to get game experience. Adjust those minutes depending on his contributions or lack thereof. Since it is beyond obvious that we aren't going anywhere this year, JL should be experimenting with lineups etc. Instead, we are limiting players like JP to 9 minutes last night and letting MK remain on the bench. smhBradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

Originally posted by Beninator View PostIMHO, we have been trying to win by sending to the floor a 4 guard lineup night after night and getting the same result. I like JL and hope that he succeeds. However, I honestly believe that JL is far too lenient with allocating minutes to guards at the expense of our taller players.

No good reason not to give him more minutes even though I believe he may be a little over his head in this league but then so are a few others, when the 4 guard system does not work then something needs to change, Prosser needs more minutes also and he needs to have at least one more big guy on the floor with him if you want more production from him as it is crazy to think he can be the only big guy on the floor with 4 guards.

I would like to try a slightly different lineup (not starting) and see what happens... --again adjust minutes based on performance--
