Kodi- 8 points, 2 Reb's, 1 Turnover
Ravern- 7 points, 2 Reb's, 2 Turnovers

We have to have Kodi's size on the court....plus, Kodi shoots a higher percentage on 3's</p>

Just needs more minutes, use him more at the 2 and 3 instead of the 4. It's more about who finishes the game then starts it. He is comfortable coming off the bench so let him keep doing it.

There's no telling how Ravern, Kodi, or Barry would handle coming off the bench at this point.

I would also give Turner some of Barry's minutes. Kodi rebounds better than any of this group and we need rebounding. Ravern can shoot but his defense is just atrocious right now and I would take Kodi's rebounding and points over Ravern at this point till Ravern finds some defense. Osby has played excellent the last couple of weeks and needs to be on the floor more. I would like to see him and Kodi on the floor together with the rest of our starters.

The entire team played like crap since the 10 minute mark of the last game.

Phil came off the bench and gave us energy pretty much like he did last year. He is good in that role.

after today I doubt it, but Kodi also shoots a higher % from 3 because he has taken a lot less 3s than Ravern. I highly doubt that if you had to have a three to end the game and you had to choose between Kodi and Ravern you would choose Kodi.</p>

Either way, Phil Turner should be a starter.

I agree, I think you have to sit Ravern and put Phil out there.

he isn't going to be as productive as Turner. Out of those two, whoever is playing better at the time should start.

I don't think anyone disagreed with you about Turner's popularity. It is just ironic coming from you whenyou are using this against Stans when you lobied for Kodi to start over Phil the whole season 2 seasons ago. For the record, Phil would have been my favorite player on next year's team.
