[jedwar]

Starters
Wagner
Reeves
Thiero
Mitchell
Z

First off bench to give their spark and dynamic duo subbing
Reed
Rob

Relief Mins as needed
Bradshaw
Ugo

Spot Mins
Burks
Edwards

I enjoy these kinds of discussions, but they’re just so futile.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Justin Edwards is going to start every game this year. Same for Bradshaw. Barring injuries, it will continue to be:

DJ
Reeves
Edwards
Tre
AB

I know. I just using it as therapy. Cal drives me insane with it's so obvious.

Any lineup with Sheppard coming off the bench is wrong. Same thing with Dilly.

I'll play along.

I like your starting five, except I'd go with Ugonna in the middle. He's getting better every game. And we need that muscle down low. I'm old school. I'd prefer my 7-footers to get rebounds and block shots, not float around on the perimeter.

Plus, you gotta give Shep, Dilly and Z tons of time. And cut Edwards' and Bradshaw's minutes back.

Yeah, it’s obvious to everyone but some UK fans that:

1. DJ Wagner is not a PG and is not the same caliber player that Dilly and Reed are. He’s fallen down draft boards because 16 games at this level has exposed him.
2. Edwards was vastly overrated. If the dude showed up at NKU, and nothing were known about him, I’m not sure he’d win a starting job there. I’m serious.
3. Dilly is a sure fire pro. And if he’s not cooking, you can send him to the bench. No big deal.
4. Reed is one of the most efficient players in the country. No other player with this kind of efficiency, who has skyrocket up the draft boards, would be coming off the bench or playing less than 30mpg.

My lineup

Sheppard
Rob
Reeves
Mitchell
Z



Wagner plays for any of the 3 guards that’s playing the worst that game.
Bradshaw can try to push Mitchell for time
Theiro can push them both and Reeves at the 3.

Ugonna got lost so much, if you watch close, he’s terrible on the switch which cause guards to be late and open 3’s.

reed has also been playing poorly.He shouldn't get a free pass.

Agree 100%

 

[STL_Cat]

I mostly like it, but I’d have Rob in the starting lineup over DJ. I think the Rob and Reed coming in together isn’t as necessary as it’s made out to be. Rob’s a better player than DJ. Just is.

 

[gojvc]

Just my thoughts, which are worth exactly what you’re paying for them:

Let AB, Big Z, and Ugo split the 40 minutes at the five. Mitchell, of course, should get 25-30 minutes at the four. But when Mitchell isn’t in we should go small whether it’s four guards, three guards and Thiero, or three guards and Edwards. If fact, I wonder if playing the four wouldn’t help Edwards, at least offensively, by creating a mismatch for him.
