Clingan Game Time Decision

also, he's gonna be coming off the bench when he gets back. expected i suppose

"He has the experience from last year coming off the bench," Hurley said. "We'll do that initially with him and kind of play him like we did last year -- short spurts until he's potentially ready to do starter minutes."

Probably like Castle coming back from injury, starting on the bench with minute restriction and then becoming a starter after some games.

Want Clingan to play on Wednesday!!!! …but if he doesn’t play on Tuesday then why bother having him play on Saturday, seeing that the next game after that is the 28th which would give him a lot more time to heal. Let’s see what the doctors say. If he’s good he’s good. Really want him out there helping to defend the new #1 ranking. Team has been putting up Ws with his absence. Was afraid we take a loss or two with DC out but we’ve been weathering the storm.

honestly, i'd rather we have the team sans clingan play through the difficult creighton and nova games. bring him back for xavier after the week off.
 
Clingan should not come off the bench. Even if he plays significantly reduced minutes, he should start. We need his defense and isolation scoring more against opposing starters.

"the only way he's out there vs Creighton is if this thing continues to progress and we feel like uh he's had enough practice time. We're not gonna rush him out there just cause you know they got Kalkbrenner"

So I'm not expecting him to play. I think it's probably not until at least Nova considering he's going to need some practices beforehand.

Hurley in the post game said Clingan came off the bench last year so he knows how to do it. Sounds like he won't start initially. Totally fine with that.

Seems like he’s hungry to play…
Give him 15 mins coach.

What if 20 mpg is the formula for the rest of the year? No bad ideas in a brainstorm.
 
Encouraging news. Would be great to get 12-15 minutes to make Kalk a little twitchy and give Samson/Stewart a change of pace.

Looking forward to Nova and Dixon. Will be a good test for DC
 
Clingan is a tough kid. Still, I've got to think he'll be a bit gun shy initially. Will be interesting to see how his playing time is handled, both game totals and how long his stints last. Doubt there is any formula for either, just guesstimates.
 
Rusty but not expecting 25 plus for a few games. Just a nice piece until he’s ready to go full. We can hope!
 
If he is healthy enough to give us 15 minutes and Samson can manage to stay on the court for 20 minutes we would only need to resort to the small ball lineup for five minutes, preferably when Kalk sits.

It's Day 28.

The problem with playing him against Creighton is we face Nova after just two days rest. It's a quick turnaround. If he comes back at Nova on on the 20th, there is a full week to assess him before our next game, Pee Cee on the 28th.

So I would sit him tonight. It just gives him a much better margin to recuperate fully after testing the foot.

Have him come off bench for a few minutes to spare Johnson. Would be interesting to see small ball lineup again tonight

We will see it but on defense we are going to have to hard double and then scramble out to shooters. And then rebound out of that. Crowd will need to help out and they should be up for that
