What the new lineup be?

[vancedave56]

OK, What WILL the new lineup be? :) (I'm not sure what happened to the will).
First, the obvious.

1. Armstead
2. Williams
3. Baker
4. Early
5. Orukpe (if healthy)

Myself, I haven't been too pleased with the play of Armstead and Williams in the lineup together. I think they are basically the same type players with one being a lefty and the other a righty. They can both play defense, drive, and shoot a little - but tend to take the offense upon themselves a little much.

My preference, perhaps contingent on Wiggins playing with all out hustle and defense:

1. Armstead
2. Baker
3. Cotton
4. Early
5. Orukpe (if healthy)

If EO is not ready yet, I hope Lufile is ready for some major minutes.

This starting 5 would be backed up by:

1. VanVleet
2. Williams
3. Wiggins
4. White
5. Lufile


Thoughts?


PS
Kind of funny, the quality in the 2nd group is pretty darn good - as teams, it might be a toss-up :)

[Dan]

it's pretty bad. we need some guys to step up and be reliable scorers. Hopefully Early will be one and maybe Baker, although most of our guards are really struggling right now.

Does Early get some time at the 5?

Coach mentioned Jake getting some time at the 5, but I heard nothing about Early.

I want to see lufile in lots, all the time, getting touches. He's good, he will score 10+ in the next few games

Holy emm effer

Set up the ban on expletives folks.

If the Baker rumor is true.

OK, assuming the Baker injury is true - does Green give up his red-shirt or try to get by with 9 until the others return? Would it be better to give up Bush's red-shirt instead of Green's?

This 10th guy is not going to play except in emergencies. A lot more zone - a lot less fouls - bench is depleted :(

[wsushox1]

1. Armstead
2. VanVleet
3. Randall Vautravers
4. Early
5. Orukpe

[vancedave56]

Isn't Randall now golfing?

I don't know, I'm just being too facetious right now as a method to deal with Baker's injury. Though it's not the end of the world.

With Baker out 6 weeks, there's absolutley no reason for Wiggins to be locked down on the bench. I just hope his scoring ability outweights his defensive struggles. It doesn't seem to hold back other MVC "stars".
