Jalen’s still gonna play a ton of minutes for us. Self even said he’s a starter. (At the 4, and especially once coach concedes Dajuan isn’t doing it for us)

He had one bad game. He’ll be ok.

Related note: so much of our trouble today came from being out-rebounded

... down the stretch. Don’t hide Remy on the other side of the floor while you hold your nose and run a mid range iso for our spaz big man. And yeah, Dajuan’s stock is tanking. I thought we were done playing guys who aren’t a threat to shoot

The couple minutes Joe played, he scored. And often just creating on his own.

We need that, rather than Dajuan looking around for reasons not to shoot

... mostly only had one ball-skilled guard, and he was a nontraditional bigger guard, who wasn’t the best at getting to the paint. Yeah we had a young Dajuan, but his minutes were all over the place Plus the wings and bigs have yet another year of experience

Change of pace and also rest more than one starter. We just might have the depth

Dajuan
Joe
JCL
Either Braun or Och
Jalen

But the 1-2 can really be any 2 of Remy/Dajuan/Joe/Bobby

History suggests it’ll be one guard and one big off the bench by March. It’ll prob be like, Dajuan and JCL, cuz Jalen moves over, or Mitch/Zach if the matchup is bigger. But maybe this will be the year we go deep. Especially for the proverbial mid-1st half when the benches ...

Dajuan brings the pg presence and the D.

Joe and Bobby both have the potential to be better scorers, perhaps.

And Jalen is an interesting example of how athleticism can come in different flavors

Dude’s quickest with the ball end to end, but can barely jump over his own shoelace

Dajuan
Bobby
Joe
Och
Zach

Is Pettiford good enough to take Dajuan’s minutes by the end of this season?

I think Remy and Dajuan need the clock, though.

I also wonder, for these sorts of games, about telling Och to go for 30

Pad that resume for the accolades

... Self’s mad grab for small guards this off-season, I kinda hope one of those guys gets more run. Especially cuz Remy may not be a pure pg, and cuz Dajuan may not be a good enough scorer. Foul trouble could inevitably factor too, as could matchups. But yeah, the safe money is on Self playing the ...

And depending on what Jalen looks like upon returning…

Also Dajuan.

NM.

ban me now

... be that point in the season when Self gets sick of Remy chucking, so the only difference between last year’s starting lineup and this year’s is Dajuan, and the “SeLf HaTeS OfFeNsE!” crowd comes out in full force while we struggle to get to 60 a game.

Against the kitties or other type team. Or, even if it was like a mid-1st half lineup against the other team’s reserves.

Braun
JCL
Joe
Dajuan

Not many teams can rest starters while getting even faster.

So far mostly feeding the post.

Dajuan drove for an easy dish to Dave but he got swatted under the rim goddamnit

This is always a fun pic.

Braun looks just as big as Wilson. And Joe makes Dajuan look tall.

And while it’s cool that the seniors get to sit up front, I mostly wanted to see Mitch next to Cam

... of wildcard, maybe a freshman, maybe more wing, maybe Self trolling us with TwO biGs! just long enough to bring illy back. Guard: Remy 35+, Dajuan 25, Joe 17, 3 freshies

... and JCL to play in 2022 and Yesufu to play in 2023 and 24. There’s that too. But again comes down to the multiple small guards lineup. And whether Dajuan or Yes is further along. I’ll guess Dajuan may be the more established pg, while Yes might be more a shot of instant offense

Let’s spice this thread up!

November rotation:

Remy
Och
Braun
Jalen
DMac

Dajuan
Mitch
Yes


February rotation:

Remy
Yes
Och
Jalen
DMac

JCL
Cam
Dajuan


even spicier than an 85 poop!
