I know folks will say it doesn't matter. Of course it matters. Give him the respect he has earned and put him in the starting 5. That's all

Why rock the boat? He is showing he is comfortable in his role. The other team is not ready for Reed and Dilly and it shows, they up the tempo as soon as they hit the floor. I want him to excel and he is doing it, I think he starts if DJ can't go. Other than that leave it like it is. jmoI know folks will say it doesn't matter. Of course it matters.

R&R best 6-7 guys in cbb. Plenty of PT and recognition! Don't rock the boat.I know folks will say it doesn't matter. Of course it matters. Give him the respect he has earned and put him with the big dogs. That's all
Devil's advocate here BUT also stating the obvious: You have a player performing GREAT, like nationally great and historically great, as he's coming off the bench. AND your team is winning games.I know folks will say it doesn't matter. Of course it matters. Give him the respect he has earned and put him with the big dogs. That's all
I’d like to see him starting, too. Or, playing 25+ minutes & closing games, if he continues coming off the bench. He has had a major impact on both ends, so far, & is still leading the nation in +/-. We are, undeniably, a better team when he’s on the floor.Agreed. Man, you’re about to get absolutely leveled ITT! 🤣
This a good point people should think about. Reed is going to play the way he plays no matter if he is starting or coming off the bench. I think its funny to see people try and attribute our success to Reed coming off the bench. You could make a much easier argument for our one loss being because he didn't start and/or get starter minuted vs Kansas. If Reed starts that game and plays 25 min(which he should play more) we win. A lot of folks on here are so scared of the truth. Reed should start because he has played at an ELITE level and earned it.My devil's advocate is Reed DID start the second half against Miami. Were you paying attention to what happened? Did it mess up some kind of magic juju that he didn't come off the bench in the second half? Or did we put our foot on their throat and go up nearly 30 in a matter of minutes? I understand both sides but thought it was worth bringing up
Some would rather cater to other players lmao can’t make this shit up! 🤦♂️My devil's advocate is Reed DID start the second half against Miami. Were you paying attention to what happened?

Let’s just agree to disagree here. Granted he has the talent and drive coaches look for in deciding a starting lineup….but….there is something electrical when Reed (and Dilly) come off the bench. It’s and instant boost of energy and a noticeable change in offense and defense.I know folks will say it doesn't matter. Of course it matters.

This. It doesn't matter. Only time starting really matters is in professional sports where there's usually a monetary bump.I disagree, Not that Reeds not capable or deserving, but what we are doing right now just works to good to mess with. Reeds perfectly happy as the sixth man
Reed probably started because DJ was unavailable. Either way, what we are doing is working. Don't "tweak" it.My devil's advocate is Reed DID start the second half against Miami.

I would say it's more about chemistry than respect. There isn't one person on that team or coaching staff that doesn't respect Sheppard. Sheppard is big enough to set aside the idea of starting to allow Wags to start as he works through his struggles. Wagner hitting on all cylinders only makes the team stronger down the stretch. I understand what you say but I just don't think it's important enough to potentially disrupt team chemistry to satisfy some pride issue, that, I'm sure, doesn't concern Sheppard.

I'm aware of why he started the second half but I fear you totally missed the point..Reed probably started because DJ was unavailable. Either way, what we are doing is working. Don't "tweak" it.
It's like in football. If they can't stop the run, KEEP RUNNING IT DOWN THEIR THROAT. At least until they show you they can stop it.
We need to leave this alone, Let Cal decide who starts.As much as most of us understand it doesn’t matter who starts, and don’t care really…
I bet Reed cares even less. He and Dilly play starter min and I think they actually like coming in together around the 16 min mark and unleashing fury on the opponent together.
I love the current rotations.
I don't think I have. Reed doesn't seem to care he isn't starting. Why mess with what is working? I personally don't care either way but Cal is sadly infamous for messing with lineups and screwing up chemistry.I'm aware of why he started the second half but I fear you totally missed the point..
ZzzzzzzzI know folks will say it doesn't matter. Of course it matters. Give him the respect he has earned and put him in the starting 5. That's all
