[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 483852, member: 2299"] I find it odd that you appeal to last year when talking about Cole's shooting but just to one game when talking about rebounding. Wright rebounded at a higher pace over the course of last year. 8.2 per 40 last year compared to 7.5 for Cole. Cole is better on offense but a big part of why he looked more comfortable is that he was almost always playing with Jose and often time with Phillips as well, while Wright had at least two sizable runs with Alston being the only guard on the court. This reminds me so much of this time last year where so many people seemed to be over emphasizing Cole's offensive advantage. But Wright played more, by a good bit (25% more) and it was probably in large part due to the 4 spot being our last option offensively with either in the game. This year, since we lost Okogie, Jackson, and Lammers, that may change, but once Devoe comes back I think there is still an argument that our most likely line up, Jose, Devoe, Haywood, and AD, will all be offensive options before either Cole or Wright. Either way, both will play, but I wouldn't be going all in on Cole being that far ahead based on a scrimmage where one was playing mostly with a PG, and probably our other two best ball handlers available, while the other was primarily playing with one guard and him not even being a PG.
