My only concern with Lammers is it looks like he may be getting worn down. His first shot yesterday was a wide open FT line extended jumper and he airballed it, haven't seen that often. He does keep plugging though.

It does feel like he's missing those more lately, though I have no data to back that up.

 

[Peacone36]

His FT shooting is also declining I believe. Could just be returning to the mean here

 

[LargeFO]

He's logged a ton of minutes. I think he's definitely fatigued but not many options for us to help that until hopefully next year.

 

[AE 87]

Fwiw, Ben is a Jr ME major. Fatigue may have nothing/little to do with playing time.

 

[LargeFO]

You're right. He's taking some really tough courses versus some of the players he's going against.

Sugiura: Quinton Stephens gives update on injured ankle

Georgia Tech forward Quinton Stephens plans to play Wednesday against Miami in a critical road matchup. Stephens rolled his right ankle in the Yellow Jackets’ win over Boston College Saturday and did not return to the game.

“It’s pretty painful right now – the swelling just came back up – but (I’ll) keep doing treatment, treatment overnight,” Stephens said before Tech’s Monday practice.

Pastner gave a complete update on injuries last night during his call in show.

Q - ankle - day to day - same ankle he injured aganst ND. Sounds like he may not practice before Wednesday but I suspect Q will try to play on it.
Lammers - ankle - turned the ankle early in the BC game. Limited in practice but expected to play.
Okogie - tendinitis in the knee. Should play.
Moore - currently out in San Diego, his grandfather passed away.

Let's go Jackets stick it to the U!

 

[BigDaddyBuzz]

Moore back at practice today

 

[gtuberfan]

Yeah it looked like Q, Moore, Ben, and JO were all practicing in this video

Injuries sting more when you're a team with no depth. I think Lammers and Okogie could play with a nagging injury and still give us quality minutes over their replacements, but Stephens is one of those players that needs to be healthy to be effective. He's a skill player that isn't naturally athletic enough to overcome something that impacts his quickness and finesse, so I'd rather see him sit until he's 100% than try to play hurt and drag out the recovery.

 

[CuseJacket]

We are 9.5 point underdogs

 

[CuseJacket]

The other thought running through my head... I'd sit Q tomorrow if playing just delays his healing process. If there's a chance Q can get near healthy with one game off and therefore gives us a better chance on Sunday and going forward, let's take our lumps/fight without him in Miami and charge hard to close the season.

I agree, but there is no chance CJP will agree. Q wants to play and we need him in the lineup.

I agree we need him in the lineup when healthy, but if he's only 75% I'm not sure that he's going to help much. We looked good offensively in the second half against BC going small. I'd like to see that again against Miami.

 

[CuseJacket]

I trust CJP to make the right decision at this point. Ankles are tricky. Q's strengths relative to our team are shooting, rebounding, and defense/shot blocking. All of which require ankle support. Of course there's no guarantee he's 100% for Sunday either, even by sitting.

Just food for thought. I'd be willing to increase our chances of a single L if that increases chances of W's later.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

For those looking for how to watch the Miami game, I noticed that in Augusta at least, it's not being carried on one of the usual sports channels, but on one called Bounce TV (in Augusta, WXFG - D2). So if your cable system carries Bounce TV, look for it there.
