Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 4447856, member: 2839"] All opinion, obviously... Clingan would be starting if anyone but a preseason conference POY was in front of him and Sanogo won't last 28 minutes on most nights. Joey C. is not going to go from >20m/g to under 10 without a serious fall off in performance. He's also not really a point guard. He hangs out on the wing and, every once in a while, curls into the paint to shake his man and back to the 3pt line for an open (aforementioned) catch and shoot. Karaban is the most consistent and versatile player on the team. he's not going from 28 to 20. He should be in the 25-28 range. Take away the 5 minute performance vs. ISU, and Hawkins is playing about 23m/g. I think that is about right for him. Maybe a little higher. OTOH, he did no favors for himself with the bonehead deadball tech. I think Jackson is still finding his way back. He still needs to play more under control and find his role on offense. If that is as a point forward (or point wing), then so be it, but he needs to find comfort in his shooting. Call me crazy but I am digging the 1st guy off the bench role at the moment, but it also looks like Alleyne's days as a starter might be numbered. Jackson is playing starter minutes. At the end of the day, Johnson is still an unknown. He's played 17 minutes vs. a recent D1 upgrade. Let him work himself back, before just anointing him a 20m/g guy. [/QUOTE]
