Sid has a lot of potential, and hitting from outside increases that potential.  I'm still waiting to see if he can really put the ball on the floor and go by people.

Everybody seems to have their favorites around here, but every decent college basketball team has good players who don't play very much.  That's how it works.  Aside from Jalen, and maybe Gilbert, there is nobody on this team that is clearly better than whoever is behind them in the rotation.

PG: Al, Smith, (Jalen at times)
SG: Jalen, CV, Smith B. Adams.
SF: Sid, CV, Smith, B. Adams (potentially Polley)
PF: Polley, (eventually Diarra), Sid (against small teams), Whaley, Yawke, Williams
C: Carlton/Cobb, Yawke

That's the team.  I don't see room for anybody to be claiming that they should be getting a ton of minutes at the expense of their backup.  Even Jalen is playing 5 minutes less than last year.  Just wait until next year.

For now, I expect Hurley to adjust to match up to the opponent, and to the foul situation.  Polley fouls bought Sid extra minutes and he did a good job with them.  CV didn't play well yesterday, but neither did Smith, leading to even more minutes for Sid.  CV comes out and plays a great game, or Smith does (and they both have this year) and Sid will play less.
