Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 4511611, member: 11108"] Clingan is going to be an NBA first round pick, if not a lottery pick. In my opinion, we should at least try to find a spot for him on the court beyond this 14 minutes a game thing. What makes this even more frustrating to me is, we are losing to teams who are beating us up physically, as Providence and St John’s did. Why not try the double big and make teams game plan against it. Personally, it seems we are trying to match up rather than dictating the match ups as Calhoun usually did. I also don’t see adding minutes for Donovan as taking minutes from Adama. Many posters seem focus on areas he needs to improve in but Adama’s shooting %’s, points, rebounds, post defense is far better than the alternative. Maybe I am wrong, but at this point in the season, it takes a real favorable roll of the dice to think Samson can play consistent quality minutes against good opponents. As for Joey C - sure he can be part of that pot of guard minutes - it is such a mix bag of pluses and minuses. Therefore, I would go with the Double Big, make that work and figure out what guards work best with that, The other big thing is if Sanogo isn’t a first round pick do you think either him or Clingan will be satisfied splitting minutes at one position with portal starting opportunities at just about every top 20 school in the country. Our coaches are hopefully making that issue a priority it should be. [/QUOTE]
