Playing minutes Friday

[real fan]

I missed the last 20 minutes of the show, this is good news as I believe Will could give us some good minutes if he is in shape, just don"t shoot the 3 and look to score your points inside as you have the ability and the size to be a tough matchup inside.

Maybe next year...
No offense to Will's potential down the road, but he really hasn't given us many quality minutes thus far this year, so I doubt he will be seeing meaningful minutes in the tourney.
And while he has good size, he hasn't shown much of a desire to post anyone up and play with his back to the basket this year...and it takes much more than just size to be a "tough matchup inside".
Les and Egolf need to sit down at the end of the year and figure out what they are going to try and develop him as in his BU career...right now, he is kinda stuck as a tweener as I see him. I really like his combination of size and athleticism, but it needs to be established whether he is going to be developed as a true big guy/post player or a "Euro" big guy that plays out on the perimeter.
If he is going to play out on the floor as a "Euro big", he really, really needs to spend the offseason developing some consistency with his shot and developing a little more quickness to help him defend quicker wing players and to help him beat people off the dribble.
If he is going to be developed as a post player, he needs to continue to bulk up and he really needs to develop some post skills and some additional toughness that he will need to win those battles in the post and on the boards.

(I'm going to be an optimist) Without AW in the lineup it would be great to see a big lead in the second half on Friday so we can rest our guys .... every minute helps. At least we're not playing the late game on Friday..... the winner of that one always has a very tough turnaround on Saturday.

I wonder if you don't give DC a couple of 1st half minutes to keep the fouls down on the bigs and keep them fresher for another game?

I agree as I really don't see much difference in Egolf and Collins as far as giving us "quality" minutes. I see no reason to play either of those two now.
