Here were the Big 12 games Minutes Per Game from last year:
Starters
Pledger: 34.2
Grooms: 33.0
Osby: 31.9
Fitzgerald: 30.1
Clark: 28.9
Bench:
Blair: 15.9
Washington: 12.2
Neal: 10.2
Arent: 3.5
Honore: 2.9
*Blair started 3 games for Cameron Clark
How do you see the minutes for next season during conference play after Kruger tightens the bench/has a grasp on who can do what?
I feel like there were times last year where Fitzgerald and Grooms were having to play too much and looked fatigued. I also thought that Pledger had a few games where he was overexerted.
My guess by conference play:
Grooms: 28
Pledger: 30
Osby: 32
M'baye: 32
Clark: 25
Fitzgerald: 25
Cousins: 10
Hield: 15
Bennett: 5
Arent: < 3
Neal: < 3
Hornbeak < 3
I am thinking that M'Baye will get minutes at both the post and guard spots. I am also thinking that Tyler Neal and Casey Arent will go multiple games without seeing the floor/mop up minutes. I kind of tend to think that Hornbeak may be the odd man out of the frosh guards based on what I've read/heard but that is obviously a semi-educated guess.
The hopeful results:
Grooms, Fitz and Pledger will all be less fatigued and we can close out games. Cam and or Fitz could at times be sparks off the bench. And most importantly, Arent and Neal won't be needed in order for the team to win games (I don't think either are good enough to be rotation players at OU).
I have heard that DJ Bennett is an upgrade over Arent, Washington, and Honore....
