Nick is a phenomenal defensive player. Like top 5-10 in all of college basketball elite defensively at his position. He stays in the starting lineup for this reason alone.
Write it down. The Spoons, LAMAR, Ado and Al's Boy. Holman as the,6th man. Why is this hard to see?
Guys the important thing isn't whether Z player should start over Y player, its that we have 2 good players competing for the same spot! Regardless of who wins what spot, unless Perry and Woodard are extremely overrated we will have a damn good 2 deep at every spot. Who wins 60% of the minutes doesn't matter, as either way we'll have a very good player o nthe court.
Give it an off season, let Howland experiment in early non-con play, and then we can argue over what's the best lineup. But right now, we have no idea. Yes X has been playing great, but he's very emotional and may regress again. yes Perry is a 5 star, but sometimes players don't live up to the hype right away. etc etc. You can make an argument for or against any lineup right now, but we haven't seen half of these guys so it's hard to say who's better than who
The important thing is though, that we can feel pretty confident either way that the guys earning minutes will be damn good, and we have good backups behind them.
I think it will be the deepest and most talented team we've ever had. Yes, even over the 96 & 2004 teams.
Do you guys think with the depth we have coming in for the frontcourt that we press more next season? I really think pressing could be beneficial to us with how athletic we are. This season we could not do it much bc no depth for bigs
