Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 5230992, member: 11108"] Good question. I think you are either a merit based organization or you are not. You can’t emphasize merit but make excuses not to reward it. Johnson did fine coming off the bench last season. In our losses this season too often we have dug a hole early, holes are difficult to climb out of when you make foolish turnovers and fouls. In fact, even leads are tough to maintain. Reed deserves to start and I believe he gives us the best chance of winning. While we can throw Johnson a lob pass on a cut to the basket, Reed actually has a low post game, that can score points on a high % basis and if we can develop an inside threat out game to shooters on the 3 line, I imagine our 3% will go up. So much of 3pt % is catching the defense in between. It happens to us on defense for a different reason this season (high hedge recovery) and it makes good 3pt shooters out of mediocre ones. [/QUOTE]
