Where would OUs current team be in Wisc & Dukes Rotation?

[jackson_supersooner]

All opinion based so no one over react. Just curious where people think players would be in each finals teams current rotation.

Obviously buddy would start on both teams.

Woodard wouldn't touch the floor they both have great PGs and back up PGs

Spangler would be a 10 min 2nd string guy.

Cousins(when he doesn't take crazy pills before the game) I could see starting for either team.

Thomas would start for both teams as well.

The only possible starter is buddy

I disagree. Duke would love to have Thomas in the post so they could have Winslow at the 3.

 

[WTSooner]

I'm not 100% sure Buddy would, if they were playing Wisconsin's style of ball.

But yes, Buddy is the only one that is even close to able to start for them. Doubt we'd have anybody starting for Duke.

Thomas is not a Duke-caliber player.

 

[WTSooner]

Wisconsin isn't very deep, especially in terms of bigs, so we'd have some 2nd stringers there.

Buddy would start for either team. Thomas would start at the 4 for Duke. Cousins is probably equivalent to Gasser for Wisconsin but not as heady a player so a push there. Spangler would see minutes in the post for both teams. That's probably it.

Disagree. He would fit well at the high post with Okafor inside and Winslow could easily flip to the 3.

Re: Where would OUs current team be in Wisc & Dukes Rotation?

Wow WTS...I pretty much disagree with all your comments in this post. You don't think Buddy would start for either??? really?? I think our players are better than you think they are. We played toe to toe with Wisconsin for most of the game. We played MSU down to the last second as well. Those are two final four teams. You don't do that with crap players. Yes, Thomas would start for Duke. They would be much more potent with Justice at the 3.

Re: Where would OUs current team be in Wisc & Dukes Rotation?

with the way OU sometimes turns over the ball, I don't see any OU player starting for either team.

Re: Where would OUs current team be in Wisc & Dukes Rotation?

Those of you that think Hield and Thomas would start for a NC team are crazy. Sorry, but you are. Duke lost 4 games this season, starting a bunch of freshman, in arguably the toughest or second toughest league. And yet we'd have two guys start for them? No way. You can make an argument for Hield, but the players Duke has on the floor are players that Duke chose to recruit OVER Buddy. Buddy didn't have a Duke offer. The guards starting at Duke are better players. Period. And Thomas, now that is just laughable.

Doubt there are many non-OU fans that would make the argument that some of you are trying to make.

Oh, and Wisconsin? Buddy isn't starting over Kaminsky, Hayes, or Dekker. And he is not a pg, so he isn't starting over Gasser. That leaves Koenig, who shot 41% from three to Buddy's 36%. You could argue Buddy could start over him, but the way Wisconsin plays, I don't think Buddy is a good fit. That isn't a good system for him. But sure, start Buddy over a guy that does the thing Buddy does best, better than Buddy does. Makes sense.

Buddy would definitely start over Matt Jones. Jones is a nice player but Buddy's much better. He'd start for Wisconsin, too, over Gasser. Those 2 teams are stacked but there's definitely room for Hield in either team's starting lineup.

Also, any of our starters would be in either team's rotation.

You're the one who's "laughable", know it all. Buddy starts over Matt Jones any frickin day of the week....and twice on Saturday. Then it would be a matter of do you want more size in your line-up? or athletic ability?

If you want size then playing Justice at the 3 is the way to go.

Jones
Hield
Justice
Thomas
Okafor

If you want athletic ability

Jones
Hield
Cook
Justice
Okafor

When I'm talking Thomas, I'm talking the Thomas we saw the last part of the season. Not the one we saw in Dec and Jan. He has been a force over the past several weeks.

Duke obviously has good players and they have great chemistry, but to say Jones is better than Hield is stupid and Hield is even better than Cook imo....and yes most of the nation would agree with me on that too. Now is Thomas better than Justice? No. That's why it would have to be a situation where you want to start a big line-up.

And I tend to agree with you on Wisc. Personally, I wouldn't want either player playing for them and don't even want to try and think about it. I can't stand their team. Kaminsky is a extremely effective player in college, but will be a stiff in the NBA. He was arrogant after we played them with his comments after the game. "I got pissed off" or whatever he said. It was classless and disrespectful to our team at the time. I can't wait until they come to Norman. Oh, and their fans on their MB are a-holes too. They act like they are a top 5 b-ball program and that we have no idea what its like to have success in b-ball. I told them to look at the past 30 years of history and get back to me. Never heard a word.

I which case buddy wouldn't start ... Thomas would the 6th man for duke .. buddy would start at the 3 .. cousins would play ..

for wisky buddy would start .. spangler and Thomas and cousins would play ..

Based on what?

Cook shot it better from 2. Better from the FT line. And better from 3. He averaged more assists and fewer turnovers. And he averaged only 2 fewer points while shooting 3 less times per game.

You can make the argument on Jones, that is fine. But to suggest Buddy is better than Cook is silly.

Again, Buddy's biggest contribution is shooting the ball, and both Cook and Jones shoot it better than Buddy does. And more importantly, they handle the ball better than Buddy.

you have to take into account system and where shots come from .. almost all of jones is catch and shoot off of cook and T jones drives or kick outs ..

And what are Buddy's? No different.

 

[campbest]

Buddy over Gasser
Buddy over Jones
That's it.

There would be some guys that get burn, but none are playing significant nor crunch time minutes.
