I think we need cwrtain players to play at lease 15 minutes a game to avoid injury to players we can not lose.
King needs 15 minutes a game minimum
Hicks needs to log 15 a game
Mango shoukd be capped at 15 a game
Snider
Mitchell
Spalding
Anas
Adel should be capped at 30 mins per game.


I know someone is going to say beaz you are not the coach, shut up, but developing the depth will help us have an extended march.

Not developing depth will result in injury because we are overworking key players.

Now que someone who says i have no clue of what i am talking about in 5,4,3,2 ......

Mcmahon
Levitch
Matz
All need 5-10 minutes a game in my opinion.

 

[Guy Gadbois]

agree with you on all points. i would really like to see mcmahon get more time. and i've been asking for more king for a long time!

I think on thursday vs Clemson, Pitino will start Donovan as 1, King at 2, Adel at 3, then later in the game he will switch it up to Mcmahon and Levitch rotating the point. Unless the first 3 go really well then Levitch and Mcmahon will get less minutes. Hope that 3 works out though because we need it for saturday. At least this stretch of games besides FSU, which is a maybe depending on how well rotations work thursday and it's at FSU, that will be tough, not sure we will win that.....but we should and I say should win most of these games within the 2-3 weeks Snider is out. UNC isnt until 2/22.

Hicks will play aswell. When he comes in, he'll take the 1, Mitchell the 2, and either Adel or King at the 3 if I had to guess.

I've been out of town but I'd expect Hicks to start @ PG. Guess we'll see.

Levitch -yes.
McMahon -no.
Matz-HELL NO

The way you feel about Matz I feel about Mango. Lol

Will be interesting to see what Rick does for the good of the team.

This stretch will either make us stronger or be a quick end to this season

I wish he would have been getting time. We have needed him. Now we are starting at ground zero

I dont know why Rick hates hicks, but he is a good guard. Hopefully he can work his way out of the doghouse during this stretch.

Let's see...
FG% - 35%
3PT FG% - 21%
Asst. to TO ratio - .75-1
At 1 per every 7 minutes played - Hicks' TO committed per minute played is 3 times higher than either Q or DM

Pretty sure that Pitino doesn't hate the kid but in his position, when you're given opportunities you have to be successful - that's just the way that it works. He hasn't and in fact outside of the UVA game has routinely looked lost. He knows that and is compounding the problems by pressing when he is getting minutes - not unlike Jaylen Johnson since he lost his starting position.

He is a better defender than McMahon but that's it. If a redshirt freshman is as good as the grad transfer - then those minutes at this point need to go to the freshman

 

[BPGhost]

Levitch -yes.
McMahon -no.
Matz-HELL NO

Stockman should have been redshirted and then started getting Mathiang's minutes last year. His ceiling is considerable higher than Mathiang's - who at best is a defensive role player.

Oops, sorry Ghost. I misread your post. I thought you meant RS Matz this year.

Hindsight is 100% but I disagree with red shirting stockman. We didn't know Mango would rebound from his injury. Hell he still may not be 100%. Anas is one concussion away from possibly being shut down for a while. Hell, even Matz has had one. JJ is underperforming since being replaced in the lineup. You can never have too many big men IMHO. The concussion to Matz did set him back though. CRP just didn't know at the start of the season who of his front court was going to step up. I'm still not certain completely.

No - sorry if that wasn't clear. I meant that RP should have redshirted Stockman when he was a freshman - given that we already had Trez, Chinanu & Mathiang and, Anas played in 30 games. He played in 4 games as a freshman - that's just a complete waste of a year particularly for a 7' kid.
