I dont agree with Travis subbing, for Richards, but I agree with you on the starting lineup. I do see Quickly maybe taking the starting position by end of the season.It will be:
Richards
PJ
Johnston
Green
Hero
Just like in the Bahamas, Cal will sub Travis for Richards and Travis will get more playing time. Green has the experience so he is not coming off the bench in the beginning of the season.
I'd think EJ would sub for Richards and Travis will sub for PJ.It will be:
Richards
PJ
Johnston
Green
Hero
Just like in the Bahamas, Cal will sub Travis for Richards and Travis will get more playing time. Green has the experience so he is not coming off the bench in the beginning of the season.
Platoon 1: Quade, Quickley, Johnson, Washington and Richards.
Platoon 2: Hagans, Baker, Herro, Montgomery, Travis.
I think we at least platoon most of the first half for the first few games. I think as the flow of the game goes along, Cal may adjust to the successful individual match ups game to game for the 2nd half. As the season progresses that could change, but to start, I think you have to utilize the insane depth and high level of talent across the board. We can gas almost any team we play within the first 20, and then utilize the best match ups to further inflict our will and demoralize teams the 2nd half.
Oh sigh!! I never answered your reply in the 1st place..It was the OP I answered, so you are/were "butting in",,SighSigh, the question wasn't, "Who do you think should start?"
You literally quoted me, lol. If you weren’t replying to me might not wanna do that.Oh sigh!! I never answered your reply in the 1st place..It was the OP I answered, so you are/were "butting in",,Sigh
It's possible, but I have noticed that no matter how Cal starts the season he always reverts back to a familiar style by the end. I think he has a way, and a rotation that he feels comfortable with, and when the games start to get important he goes back to what he likes.Don't want to start a whole new thread, but does Cal change how he coaches this team as opposed to some others? Will we see a difference in pace of play,1/2 court offense or anything that jumps out as in "hey we haven't seen this before" type stuff?
Is that Jamal Johnston?Johnston
Oh yeah, I forgot about Montgomery. I suspect he's going to get some clock too.I thought Green might play the SG position, but we have so much perimeter shooting that I'm not sure now. Cal may decide to play with 2 PGs.
Green
Quickley
Johnson
Washington
Richards
That leaves Hagans, Herro, and Travis coming off the bench and getting serious minutes.
But, who knows what Cal will decide to do. We have a stacked team this year.
Quickley, the guy who posted an 8:1assist to TO ratio and shot better than 50% from 3 in the Bahamas doesn't look ready to start at PG?Quickly just doesn't look ready, to be our starting pg imo. I like the combination of Herro and Green who seem to get better penetration, pass better and shoot the 3 very well.
Is that Jamal Johnston?
I'm kidding. Hey... Calipari has one helluva a good problem deciding who his starting 5 will be. He's doing a great job this season and hasn't played one official game yet.
No way Travis doesn't start. Dude would have been arguably the preseason Pac-12 POTY.
Quickley, the guy who posted an 8:1assist to TO ratio and shot better than 50% from 3 in the Bahamas doesn't look ready to start at PG?
Reid is not coming off the bench. Love how Richards has developed, but Travis is better, experienced, and tested.Zero chance he doesnt start his 3 sophomores. After that its 2 spots. Keldon gets 1/2. He’ll view Herro the same way he did Booker, a spark of scoring off the bench. It’ll be Quickley, Quade, Keldon, PJ, Nick. Anyone who thinks Reid starts over Nick is crazy. He started Nick all last year when he was basically just a moving afro. Our best 5 was the blue team last night.
Which is crazy to think knowing we have Herro, Hagans, Travis, EJ and even Baker off the bench.
If your going to google stats like your the super stat man, at least post the correct stats (stat man) lol.Quickley, the guy who posted an 8:1assist to TO ratio and shot better than 50% from 3 in the Bahamas doesn't look ready to start at PG?
Posted this on August 10th and am sticking with it:
