Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3773271, member: 8636"] I think it’s a fun discussion- who should start. So many factors to consider. We haven’t had too many of these discussions recently, with our painfully short bench the last couple years. One question might be, what do you want from the starters? I say that you want your consistently best [B]unit. [/B]That may not be the best 5 individual players. I would vote for not switching up starting lineups so as to build roles. Another question might be what you want out of the first couple substitutions and who are the players that can fill those roles, like sparking team, energizing the D, hitting some shots, settling the team down. Currently, almost the entire bench is freshmen. So, if the game needs some adjustment, freshmen will be asked to make something happen.Maybe it would be good to have some experienced over there to go to. I’m hoping Aaliyah cracks the starting 5. We’ve been complaining about our size. I think Aaliyah can learn “baptism by fire”. Have a steady hand to bring in, like Anna or E. [/QUOTE]
