Dunlap is a 2 guard.. Not a 1 . A 2.

And when and if he does either IJ or Bloodman will be at the point..
No one has ever said that Sword is better or worse than Bloodman at the point .
Why can't you just enjoy the win Sat. Instead of trying to find anything that points to dislike in our head coach..
We get it. You don't want him here.. Few do...
And like 34 said is not like Dunlap lit it up when he played.. Maybe he isnt ready to play yet. He played when Sword and IJ had their health issues...
I'm sure if we had enough faith in Dunlap to give us positive minutes he would play...

Why are you constantly trying to quiet the dissenters? That's genespageish. The argument is Bloodman vs Sword at PG. Not moving Dunlap from the 2.

If that is the case then I'm fine with that. It's just that I've heard some rumblings from some close to the situation that there is more to this situation than him just not being good enough to play now.

Then argue playing Sword at point when IJ needs a breather..
Why even bring Dunlap into the equation..

Bloodman is not very good- but he is still better than Dunlap right now. He has to rest Ready

I just dont see anywhere for him to play right now. We really needed to RS him- but couldnt with Sword and Ready hurting

Read my post about giving Dunlap 4-5 attempts a game again. He was brought in to shoot. Let him shoot. We know Bloodman can't so give Dunlap his minutes and use Sword to rest IJ. Not that difficult.

Stupid to go back and forth with you..
You said give Dunlap Bloodmans minutes..
IJ can't play 40 minutes..
Sword isn't going to play point.. And if he has too doesn't mean Dunlap should get minutes..
This all started with you saying give Bloodmans minutes to Dunlap.
C34 tried to explain that Dunlap can't play the 1.
Bloodman has to give us a few minutes every game.. Like it or not. No one says he needs to play more than 10..
Hell I want IJ in there as much as possible. He should play 30-35 every game unless foul trouble..
We just can't have both Ware and Sword out of the game when Bloodman is in ...

Facepalm. Sword PG, Dunlap SG, Bloodman bench guard. It's not complicated.

Bloodman > Dunlap...you're right, its not complicated. You are just making it so. You want Dunlap to play defense as a 6'1 2-guard. He cant guard shit. Bloodman actually plays decent defense.

I would like to get a better look at Dunlap before we banish him to the back of the bench. If we are banishing him than we might as well trim the fat with him. Go get us a 6'4 Juco that can shoot.

I was not impressed.

Dunlap is an undersized 2 guard. He would have trouble creating enough space to get his shit off.
He is nit the answer.

I thought Dunlap would be that outside threat this year as well but I'm not against him not playing again this year. He would definitely be a huge key for us next season, another off-season of strength and conditioning would do wonders.

Craig averages 2.3 assists and 3.2 turnovers over his career. He also is 0 threat from deep. That would be great to see at the top of the key against a 2-3 zone.Yeah, let's make him a primary handler. Bloodman is at the very least a solid defensive PG for ten minutes a night. Dunlap hasn't proven to be any better offensively. And he's proven to be worse defensively.

He's shooting 32% from 3 on the year and made 5/7 against OM, 1/2 against LSU. I wouldn't call him a 3 point specialist just yet, but he's developed into a perfectly decent shooter. Whatever reasons exist for him not to play the point, lack of deep threat isn't one of them right now.

Sword has actually started to look decent from 3 the last 2 weeks. Hope it continues

He's made like 40 in his three year career. Theres no denying he's showing good signs, but whether that is a flash in the pan or a legit improvement with his health has yet to be seen. As of what we have seen, he isn't a legit threat. And he's not a good enough passer to play 1. That's a bigger issue for putting someone at the one. He's a prototypical slashing 2. Dunlap is an undersized shooting 2 who lacks the ball skills to play the point.

You're proving my original post correct. Whose Dunlap's replacement?

If he's gone I would assume tookie (ep) or one of the other commits. Roc is the only senior I can think of off the top of my head so wouldn't we need one or two for new guys? I don't follow bball recruiting much
