Springs: Did he play too well in the first half ...

[Jay-Bone]

Did he play too well in the first half to get anything other than garbage in the 2nd?

 

[MDHuskFan]

He got 10 minutes, idk who we would have wanted him to steal them from. Didn’t mind the guards getting heavy minutes, as it seems that’s where we’re still figuring things out. I think our 4/5 is pretty set rotation wise

Loved his minutes. Just seems so solid and reliable for a kid who has barely played at all. Seems like a great teammate too.

I was hoping to see more Springs at the 4 with Karaban sliding to the 3 and less Joey C minutes

Hope Richie steals some Joey minutes next game. Another big bodied athletic defender, and showed some offensive game. Give him a real chance before writing him off.

Sanogo, Clingan, and Karaban is super impressive but Springs is going to need minutes now with Samson in a walking boot. I thought he played well and could've gotten a few more minutes.

I thought the same exact thing.

Steal them from anybody (except Sanogo)!!!! He played with heart in the first. Most of the 10 were in the first where he played well and 2 of them were garbage in the 2nd where he didn't touch the ball. Not sure you noticed but our starting four was injured and Joey C isn't great. Why couldn't he have gotten real burn in the 2nd like he did in the first? Don't be complicit.

People pouring on Joey C. but I thought he looked better defensively this game thus more minutes. He hit a 3 and made a great dime to Karaban on the break. I think he will still get some minutes but it was nice to see a Springs sighting in non garbage time. Springs has a wide body too which is great inside.

 

[Spaceman213J]

Liked his minutes, but Karban's fouls in the 1st half are what got him some extra time. If anything, it starts building trust with Hurley with positive in game minutes and good play.

Complicit?
I think that once Andre & Jordan are back, they’ll eat into a lot of the minutes Springs would get, even if Samson is going to miss time. He played well in the first. He’s also been here longer than anyone else on the team. I’m fairly confident the coaches know what they do & don’t have with Springs.

Its great to see him get some loving...it wasnt that long ago someone on this sight bashed me for calling him a sleeper..great size and has some game to him...hmmnn...give him some time on court.

 

[Jaydumo20]

The guys all seemed to rally around him. I think that's important. He made a great pass to Adama and showed touch. I don't know what more you could want from his lo limited touches. By far my favorite part of this game.

Don’t sleep on Springs.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Odd question but who was the last player who was #10 or deeper on the depth chart who was better than Springs?

 

[JonnyRI]

Last 10 min I was screaming!!! Pull Joey C, give Sonago a rest, and gimme Clingan, Richie, and Karaban up front. I wanted to see that lineup get extended minutes together.

 

[MDHuskFan]

 

[UCFan1513]

Get him more minutes

 

[Palatine]

RS seems to come out o the plus side of the ledger whenever he gets on the floor.

 

[Waquoit]

That's the whine of the night? Springs didn't play enough?

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Would Springs be able to get some of the minutes AK got coming off the bench for SJ now that AK is a starter?

 

[444JR]

Richie looked like he knew he could get to his spots tonight whenever he got the ball and wasn’t looking in need for a teammate to bail him out. Passed the eye test on offense. Defense is another story.

Off the top of my head but probably Terrance Samuel on the 2014 roster

 

[RichZ]

His 10 minutes tonight equal (roughly) 20% of his career minutes so far.

 

[MrSec224]

I think what we need to take away from Richies minutes…

The staff saw he can be trusted on the floor. And more importantly he showed he could play with Adama, and with great chemistry.

Let him grow from this night.
