Two quickies in the 1st half opens that avenue. If I recall, it happened to Okafor on his share of occasions.
Joey c struggling? He got beat on two plays by Iowa State’s guard back to back but for the most part has drawn charges and played pretty good d. Much better than expected. Not to mention he’s almost like a mini ajax - all over the ball/floor and likes to mix it up. all we need is barely average d from him. His shot is what counts. Great spark off the bench.
Yeah. Winning sure does help with buy-in at lower minutes. And we're going to be in high profile games thanks to our high ranking so people will get talked about even with lesser minutes and there will be plenty of scouts and "draft experts" checking out our games.
We are both saying that he will continue to play 10 during the regular season. That looks like agreeing. We deviate in the tournaments. No big deal, it's just opinions. And time will tell.

I personally believe Hurley is gonna send out whoever gives us the best chance to win. You can say Sanogo earned a lot of minutes going forward, but the moment Hurley thinks someone else gives them a better chance to win in a spot, i bet he makes the switch regardless of what they have done.
Far too low on Clingan, too much for Alleyne and Johnson. If Joey keeps making shots and providing what he's providing he certainly needs more than 8 minutes.
Your Clingan minutes make no sense. He’s one of our best players and you want to lower his minutes?
I mean they may sense in that he's doing math or of CT 40 mins total. If you want Clingan to have more meetings then that means you want Sanogo to have less.
In what universe does Johnson deserve 20 minutes per game and Clingan only 12? And why would Alleyne get 2.5 times as many minutes as Calcaterra?
All opinion, obviously...
Agree with you on Jax..Alleyne didn't come here to be an ok guy.. He's a player.. He's overdue for a bust-out game
Agreed. It starts in practice and then carries over to games. Hurley is no fool - he who performs gets positioned higher in the general rotation. Hot hands, foul troubles, and matchups then dictate the in-game details.
Yup...but he needs to come off the bench now. Maybe that will help him. He was downright awful against Iowa St. and seems to be the only one on the team that tries to play 1 on 1 hero ball outside the scope of the offense (I'd be more OK with this if he was ever successful). Still love his effort on D but think he's a better fit off the bench as our 6th/7th man.
Yep... You got it right
I really like Jackson off the bench - when he comes in the other team has no idea what to do about him. Kinda “ we kinda lull them to sleep“ and then out he comes and whatever they had been doing that was working stops working.
So not gonna answer the question? Cool
I did answer your question when I said, 'This is typical." I should have been clearer by stating the reallocation of minutes is typical during tournament play. I can't predict the 8 or 7 players at this time. I do agree with your assessment that this roster has greater depth than any that I can remember. Of course, like an old PC, I do suffer memory leaks.
Tristen also
Newton is the starting point guard, and averaged more than 30 minutes at PK85. While his minutes have nowhere to go but down, I don't think he is losing PT to a 6'-10" Power Forward.
