So Rose continues to elect to use Magnusson over Rogers and I don't see why. Magnusson can't score and doesn't play all that well defensively. There are a lot of teams in the Big East that make due with a lenky-not so big guy at the 4 because they are athletic. Rogers is more athletic than both Hartsock and Magnusson plus Rogers can score and handle the ball well as he showed last night. I mean use him at the 3 more and maybe let Charles play the 4 when Noah's on the bench. We just need help scoring and he may have some of the freshest legs on the team

You might want to check the box score. Magnusson had 3 steals and grabbed 2 rebounds in 13 minutes.



Rogers had 1 rebound and 1 steal in 10 minutes.



BOTH guys contributed last night.

Magnusson is a bigger body than Rogers. Rogers gets pushed around on defense against stronger forwards and isn't quick enough to guard the 2. Magnusson may get beat down low by a quicker forward, but he doesn't get pushed out of his block.
