Jimmer
Emery
Tav
Hartsock
Miles
Jimmer
Emery

Hartsock

It's the back-ups that get tricky. We are deep and everyone wants as many minutes as Rose can spare for them.
I think Hartsock backs Abou, and Anderson backs Miles as our two biggest subs. But then Rose also has the option of switching many guys around from 2-3 positions against certain teams. It's a tough year to be coach, BECAUSE of the talent though, instead of DESPITE it.

The tough decision becomes if you start your five very best players, or if you play maybe three of your best with two solid guys so you can have a strong bench coming in and keep the same intensity of play. That is, if you can determine for sure who the five best players even are.

I hope Rose does switch it around a bit depending on what teams we play. That's something we could use a bit more of and as you point we could actually do it this season without a huge drop off in production.
Too much talent is a problem I'm glad we have.

I don't think it is too difficult to decide- if you're name isn't Fredette and you aren't giving max effort on D then you will be on the bench. We have too many good players at every position.

I found it interesting that Abou was named the defensive MVP of the Blue-White scrimmage.Qman wrote:I don't think it is too difficult to decide- if you're name isn't Fredette and you aren't giving max effort on D then you will be on the bench. We have too many good players at every position.

Hmm I hadn't heard that. Maybe he will get big minutes this year. I just hope he has improved on offense.

Last season I kind of liked Abouo's defense better than Emery's.

Emery always struck me as a more of an intellectual defender. He knows the scouting report and forces players into help or low percentage shots.Gunk wrote:Last season I kind of liked Abouo's defense better than Emery's.
Abouo seemed to be more a physical marvel. He is just strong and very quick.
