What's with all the sully hate on this board?

Didn't know that some didn't like Sully.

What are you saying something went over my head? I have noticed in two threads sully being bashed and don't get it! Let me in let me in!! Lol

@GOSHOX1: It was my attempt at humor, in direct reference to this over the top comment:

Trop is a load of crap. Shockers were a load of crap against Howard.

I see said the blind man. Lol

I think we can put our non three point shooting on the bench. While not many agree with me, including Coach Marshall, I prefer Demetric at the point.

You're not alone. While I like what Armstead brings to the table, I wouldn't mind seeing a starting lineup of:

PG - DWill
SG - Baker
SF - Wessel/Early
PF - Hall
C - Ehimen

That gives you plenty of offensive threats and great D. Armstead gives us great D too and steady ball handling, but I think DWill is right there with him for the most part but can be more explosive and is definitely a better shooter. With Wessel, that would give us three legit threats from deep which would help Carl work inside and could even help Ehimen. With Early, he's not as big an outside threat but he's explosively dangerous and would give us a slasher in the mix on the wing. Speaking of which, I hope Baker adds that at some point and doesn't just turn into a Kyles and think he can only shoot threes.

I like Demetric off the bench at the PG position. I like the mental toughness he brings to the "not ready for prime time" bench. Early and Williams are spark-plugs. In time, Wiggins will be too.

1)Malcolm is in Cancun.....sometimes I wonder about these thread titles and where they end up going.

2)I like Armstead starting at the point....a lot. Regardless, Demetric deserves to start on Senior night, and I will be TRAGICALLY disappointed (again) if he does not.

Go Shocks

I can see starting DWill over Armstead (especially after Howard), but I was questioning sending Baker to the bench. He has made half of our 3s to this point in the season, and we need him in the starting lineup.

With the depth that we have, I'd like to see not only balance in the "1st" and "2nd" team as far as experience, ability, and firepower, but also not have our best 3 point shooters in one lineup then both out, slashers in the other then out, and not have our best defensive players in one group. Also not do 5 for 5 or 4 for 4 subbing.

1st Group: EO/move Hall over, Hall/move Early over, Early/ sub in Wessel, Baker, DWill. For example, 6 players see action in the 1st 5 minutes.

2nd Group: Hall/ sub in Lufile, Early/ sub in White, Wessel/ sub in Wiggins, Baker/ sub in Cotton, Armstead. As you start the second rotation, only Armstead comes in. At various points, the other 4 are filtered in.

Players like Hall, Early, Wessel, Baker are seeing the most time, next would be DWill and Armstead. EO, Lufile, White, Wiggins, and Cotton more or less in varying degrees as the situations dictate.

I know I left FVV out of this, but he would see time giving Armstead and DWill breathers.

If game situations change, one makes the necessary player changes.

[pinstripers]

My guess is that DW starts for Armstead for this one game, but that Armstead does not see his minutes go down much. I agree, DW is great off the bench...........
