Not ideal but...

With Carr out for an unknown amount of time, do we move Garrison to the 4 spot? I think he has the tools. If he has any nba potential in his future, that's where it'll come. Really missed Carr yesterday and against Bama, although he played as much as he could
Pope may have to try it, I just know except for O! driving the lane, we basically had no inside game, and we should have killed Vandy in the paint.
 
I rather drink bleach then have to watch garrison and Williams on the floor at the same time for extended periods of time
We got the lead and held onto it while Garrison/Williams were in the game....fwiw. We don't have great team quickness but we can go bigger than just about anyone with
Williams
Garrison
Almonor
Noah..Yeah, until Butler is ready...but we have Jax, Perry and Brea too. I was happy with how Noah played yesterday for the most part. He'll improve and is.
and Oweh

Of course we can change the pieces around, especially if Butler is 100% or close to it. I re-watched a bit of the game and Garrison played better than I first thought. Bottom line is, we are minus our PG(to a large degree), Our backup PG and now our 4. Both Carr and Butler are difference makers to the team when healthy. Pope played some different lineups yesterday and there is some potential in a couple of them, especially as Noah, Perry and Chandler get better. Chandler didn't look good at all to me yesterday but I still believe his ceiling is very high.

They can’t play together for extended periods,

A little but not much. Do you want Williams playing the whole game? No.
Also Garrison is too slow to guard most 4’s.

We need Garrison and Williams to split time at the 5, so why would we want to play them side by side? We only have two Centers.

Go small. Then you have Almonor spelling the 4. Garrison spelling the 5. Put the Freshmen in based on need at the 1-3.

G Butler/Perry
G Oweh/Chandler
G Robinson/Noah
G Brea/Almonor
F Williams/Garrison

Spread the floor and force a big to try to cover one of our 4 guards.

Defense will be a challenge, but we can’t guard anybody, anyway.
Can play almonor or Garrison at the 5 as well and do this…while packing a zone in and daring teams to out score you from deep.

Or…as much as it sickens me to say after watching awful Cal lineups in the name of “size” despite better statistical 3 guard lineups…. Due to our injury situation it may be worth trying the Williams, Garrison, AA, Owen, Butler. With Jax as the 6th man and Brea as the 7th. When bigs need a spell you steal minutes by playing small.
 
Better learn to play some defense or we’ll be lucky to win a game in the SEC & NCAA tournaments, & what happened to this run n gun type offense I thought we would see. We walk the ball up the floor more often than not anymore & Butler & Robinson are too loose with the dribble. Very careless type passes and not “tight” with the dribble. Anyone that pressures them has a chance at a steal the way they just play so nonchalant with the ball, I know he had a short time to put a team together & I can handle a loss when we’ve given the best effort we can. But when we still refuse to block out as evidenced by the one guy on the ft line at the end that almost got the rebound…..says alot about fight and will, no one seems upset when things aren’t going our way. We just accept it for some reason.
