Message: [QUOTE="Kembacity, post: 4448956, member: 3815"] I just meant the question of who wouldn’t make that 7-man cut? And I ask because I don’t think you can lay out those 7 guys. 100% I agree that teams in March usually trim a guy or two from the rotation, but not every team does that. Teams usually stick with their best 5 or 6 guys in the final 5-10 minutes of a game, but this roster is wild. To me, of the guys playing meaningful minutes right now, I could see Joeys time being cut slightly to a few minutes to see if he can just crush 2-3 3s in a minute, maybe Alleyne doesn’t play much if Newton is cooking and no foul trouble, but I think Samson will be 100% in the rotation come March. I would put hard money down that barring injuries, Newton, Diarra, Hawkins, Jackson, Karaban, Johnson, Sanogo and Clingan will be in that tourney rotation, and Joey/Alleyne will still have value to bring. What we’ve seen so far is a very high ceiling in our level of play on defense and moving the ball on O regardless of who is in the game. If that continues and no one fades as the season goes on, I think Hurley still uses everyone so he can have guys giving 100% on defense and just flat out run some other teams out of the gym in the 2nd half, even if they’re hitting an abnormal amount of 3s against us [/QUOTE]
