Message: [QUOTE="UConnSwag11, post: 4502684, member: 240"] There’s a reason a lineup change is needed. It’s because what we’re putting out there is horrendous. We’ve tried every lineup for extended periods of time except this one. Think of a lineup where Clingan plays at the 5 and plays ~30 minutes a game, and we keep Karaban and Hawkins on the floor. Do you want Newton or Joey at point and have Jackson off the bench? Sanogo has to play the 4 because he can’t guard the rim. He doesn’t even look at the ball when the guard is driving. He’s already out there guarding the three point line and would have Clingan to protect the rim. Teams won’t be able to body him like they do to Karaban and even Jackson. We turned the ball over that much WITH the guards on the floor. If we don’t get stops, teams can set their defense and pressure us. We have to get stops. I’d rather guard and protect east baskets, dunks and layups, and let teams take contested threes [B]If all defenders are on sanogo, then that leaves Hawkins open for three, Karaban open for three, and Clingan for a dunk. As I said earlier, Sanogo is going to be able to or have to, kick it out to an open man (which there will be if they all guard Sanogo) and he’ll have to hit a midrange jumper. He has to change his game. There’s not a question about it because he has been so easy to game plan for. [/B] [/QUOTE]
