McGusty and McNease should be starting

[cyberthoth]

A number of us have been saying this all season but I really think today's game showed why this needs to happen.

McGusty is rounding into form and he gives us 4 three point shooters right out of the gate.

McNease does everything Lattin does with the added benefit of a little more physicality that the starters need and a little more scoring.

The all hustle second unit with Lattin and Odomes could really add something too.

Odomes is our 2 best defender. No way he goes to the bench

Yep. We're not lacking for scoring options. We need the defense.

I like them coming off the bench even though they may play starters minutes.

They both provide a spark when they come in.

I like it the way it is. Need guys who can provide sparks from the bench and both of them can. Also hope Doolittle gets back to last year’s form quickly.

I know something is different, Lattin only had 3 fouls but McNeace finished the game. Shepard only had 2 minutes while Lazenby had 6, was he ill?

I wondered that too, surprised Lazenby played.

Lazenby's been playing every game. Fans keep dismissing him, but Coach Kruger keeps giving him his minutes.

McGusty needs to be on the floor when Young rests.

 

[Eielson]

Trae Young should start, and then the other 8 should play rock-paper-scissors during warmups for the other 4 spots.

 

[Stikboy]

I said it on the game thread... That rebound by Muni was absolutely huge. That kid is improving so much...

 

[Eielson]

McGusty needs to be on the floor when Young rests.

Agreed. He should get both minutes.

This discussion demonstrates how deep this team id

McNease has learned to play hard and physical

McGusty and McNeace played "starters minutes" today in Fort Worth.

Jamuni is a better rebounder, and defender. He's also a better offensive player. Needs to start.

 

[NickZepp]

I kinda like McGusty's bench role is better. I do believe McNease needs to start. I'm not sure we'll get a lot of points from our post players anyway but McNease is a good shot blocker inside. Better rebounder than Lattin.

 

[BCSooners]

McNeace is not a better defender than Lattin. Play them both evenly in the 1st half and just ride whoever is playing better that night.

Lazenby shouldn't be playing at all. Why is he playing?

I might ask, why are you questioning his playing? Do you doubt Coach Kruger's judgment? Are you unhappy with the results so far?
