Really wish we hadn't redshirted DJ Stewart
He had a really good preseason but they were worried he wouldn't get enough minutes. Now we have a depleted bench and he has much needed length and athleticism at the 2/3 position, plus he can shoot! Plus he can match up with more physical guards unlike Tyson.

It was the right move. Even without Nick, we have a 4 man rotation at the 1-2-3 which is fine. Howland just needs to play Q more at the 2 with Woody at the 3.

Hindsight is always 20/20. At the time, it was a good move especially for the future. When Nick is reinstated, all will be good.

Yep. Especially against bigger teams like UT.

I think he is pretty raw. He has a ton of potential but I don't believe he was ready this year, Weatherspoon or not.

We just won 2 road games that we could have just as easily lost with Nick lol

I'd start Tyson, Q, Woodard, Perry, Ado and bring Lamar & Holman in as subs.

You just can't not start Lamar at this point in the season. Keep starting Lamar but increase Tyson's minutes. I'd only use Holman if one of the bigs gets into foul trouble.

Tyson played 39min Wednesday can't play much more than that. Holman played as many as he did because Woodard got 2 fouls in the 1st half & didn't play the last 8min of the half.

Yep it was the right move. If we hadn't RS him there would be complaints about us wasting a year for DJ & him not playing.

This. We're not a very good defensive team, even with Nick W on the floor. Knowing that, I'd rather be better offensively with Carter.

Eli Wright is who we miss the most with Nick out. Sure would be nice to have him

Im going to cover for you and assume you mean more minutes for Tyson at the point. The only guy who needs more minutes is Woody.

We aren't good defensively. We're 148th in def efficiency.

Meanwhile in offensive efficiency, we're 24th

I'm not gonna pretend to know what balance of nick/Tyson is the best; but I can certainly see the argument that going best offense may be our best bet since we stink defensively anyway

Why? Howland can play who he wants. No one is a "have to start guy" unless their performance dictates it.

If we keep doing that then we have to execute and finish on the break and in the half court offense. We keep playing D and do those 2 things, we'll be alright.
This team likes to "relax" too much in games to suit me tho. And then our half court O ball movement and shot selection gets pitiful too much IMO.
We're playing pretty good D but we can play some flat out stupid basketball at times.
