We probably lose today regardless, but the minutes/rotations are just inexcusable.

Kam Williams just had a career game. He's been hot from 3 and one of our best defenders. He got 16 minutes.Collin Chandler hasn't done anything in a month. He went under EVERY FREAKING SCREEN today and let them have open 3 after open 3. He got 18 minutes today.

Dioubate has been one of our most consistent players. He gives us toughness and rebounding. He had 21 minutes today with no foul trouble.

You're not going to win many games limiting your best players to play worse players.

Also, if I'm a recruit...What message does it send? Kam Williams has 20+ points, 8 made 3's, and has been defending his butt off. He can't even break 20 minutes today. He still doesn't start. Why sign to play for a coach that does that?

You're not wrong... and I've been a die hard Pope supporter.

Kam
Lowe
Oweh
Mo D
JQ

30 minutes each if possible (and I know its not).

Bench:

Aberdeen
MM, maybe a little BG... neither are gonna help much in the SEC this year

Deep bench:

CC/JJ for a few minutes if you have a lead... but ONLY at the 2: neither can play the 1 at this level.

The rest of them simply cant play at the high SEC level.


The reality is we have a 7 man roster... at best.

Maybe not that many for JQ but I'd play the other four 32 minutes.
