[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 387557, member: 1776"] I think on point 3 alot of it is the shorter rotation. GT played small ball for 15 min against Miami. That is a time period which both have to play. Also, they have different strengths. Tadric is a better scorer and penetrator. Alston gives you more of an outside threat and is better with ball security. Also, I think Tad's defensive lapses just kill Pastner. His very first defensive series he fell asleep and allowed a backdoor alley-oop. Pastner mentioned after the Coppin State game that Tad would come off the bench. He felt Tad plays better coming off the bench and it gives them more power off the bench. I think if Haywood was healthy he would get alot of Alston's min. I sort of expect GT to play as much small ball as they feel they can get away with. Right now going small with Alston and Haywood when he is back likely puts a stronger team on the floor than playing Wright or Cole. Pastner also mentioned after the ND game that he didn't play them in that game because he didn't like their effort in practice before the game and he said you have to practice hard if you want to play in the games. I just don't think either Wright or Cole is ready for significant min against ACC competition. So i think they will play as much of Lammers and AD as they can (starting them together and using AD to backup Lammers a few min per game) and then go small ball rather than using one of the developmental FR for the most part. The big issue with AD is he cannot avoid fouls so you probably havea cap of 25 mpg you can get out of him. i like the idea of playing AD more as a 5 on offense. He is better closer in to the basket. Lammers is more comfortable shooting 15-18 feet. I think until Haywood returns Pastner largely has his rotations figured out. He's basically playing 6 - Lammers, AD, Jose, JO, Tad, and Alston with Cole or Wright getting a few min if they need a bigger lineup and can't have Lammers and AD in together (likely due to fouls).
