[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 802664, member: 2299"] IMO it's less that your overstating the concern but more that you seem to be putting too much into games against weak opponents. IMO the roster issues will largely be determined based on practices, not games. Obviously the specific minutes split will be based on games but I don't think overly easy games provide great insight into that type of distinction. IMO 4 of our spots are pretty much locked* (I'll explain what I mean by that in a second). IMO only the 3 position is really up in the air for experimenting. We could go Moore/Coleman as just sort of standard fare, but we could also go 3 guard line ups as well as big with Ush there. The three guard line up I expect will be an option for us and one we probably utilize late in games to nurse leads. But I don't see it being a real option for our standard line up. We went away from it last year for a reason. Likewise I do expect us to have a big line up as an option, but I don't think it is likely to be the main stay. IMO experimenting against weaker teams isn't going to change either of those. What would is if one or more players just completely showed out in practice. For example if Kyle shows great mastership of running the team and Bubba regains his VMI form and just starts wearing it out from behind the arc, we might go to it more. But that would have to be the case against legit opponents. Same with something like Meka dominating in practice and forcing Ush to the 3. While it could happen, we would want to see it against legit competition as more of a judge. And while its possible one of our situational line ups is the best, I don't see it surfacing as result of experimenting against weaker teams. It would more likely be a result of one or more players forcing the issue in practice. *What I mean by locked is that I don't know who starts at center but I think it's pretty much guaranteed to be one of Howard/Gigi with the other being the primary back up.
