    Start Warren at PG

    This makes us better on defense, and he?s a more comfortable player for Jans

    If our guards are gonna play like crap anyway, get Warren in to play great D and change up the flow.

    Also start Jones.

    pg. Warren / Hubbard
    Sg. Hubbard /. Harris
    Sf. Jones. /. RJ
    Pg. Murphy /. Mathew?s
    C. Nwoko / Cjol

    Can he run an offense? Because right now we don't have anyone who can.

    My advice to him if he does get in, is hold the ball and wave your hands around directing people where to go.

    It will LOOK like you are the floor general. He?ll be hailed as a hero.

    Perception is reality.

    Jones can't dribble or shoot. I watched two games with Jones this week and he missed the rim on every single jump shot and only hit the rim with a lay up. Malendez needs to be on the floor.

    You didn't watch jones then... he hit 2 3s in our last 2 games. Not saying he's a good shooter though

    That is a hilarious starting lineup. Guard Hubbard and pack it in.

    Have you not paid attention to Melendez the last few games? For example, he got plenty of playing time against Florida, but very late into the game he had 0 points and 2 rebounds with a couple of fouls. Can you tell me the last game he scored double figures? Right now, we have one dependable scorer/rebounder in Murphy. Hubbard always gets his, but usually on volume shooting and was 5/15 against Florida. Our rotations are very puzzling as we often play 3 on 5 or even 2 on 5 when we are on offense. Kugel can't handle the ball and Harris looks afraid to shoot. Cam is not a threat. We again gave up 14 3's against Florida.

    I agree with all of this and the question is what happened? We look like a totally different team

    Every time he is in he has done well especially the last few games ....he does settle the team down

    RJ , Kugel and Harris are averaging about 10 together.

    Give me Jones and Warren instead.

    What are you talking about? Those 3 have played poorly recently. But Harris and Kugel are averaging 10/game and RJ is averaging 8 per game.

    Advanced analytics based on +/- and win share say our starting lineup should be Hubbard, Harris, RJ, Cam and Keyshawn. Kugel should be first man off the bench for 1-3. And Nwoko should be off the bench for the 4-5. Jones should see the fewest minutes in our rotation.

    I dont care about advanced analytics.

    If we lose 4 at home and are getting sodomized by other SEC teams, I change the line up.

    Thank goodness you aren't the coach. I did change the lineup and more importantly the rotation.

    Yes, thank God. We'd probably lose 4 home games and get blown out by 20-30 with my lineup.

    Warren has looked good handling the ball a few times and Jones seems to come up with a big play for us in a lot of our wins. I wouldn't mind seeing Warren a little more and Jones obviously has a role for us but those two should never been in a game at the same time.
