Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3376684, member: 55"] We don't need the smaller lineup to beat New Jersey Tech. If we do, we're not going anywhere anyway. Might there be a stretch in some game where you try to get Akok minutes at the 5? Absolutely. But this team isn't going to the NCAAs without Carlton being the Carlton who played against Indiana, or down the stretch in the AAC schedule last year. Pulling him in and out of the starting lineup isn't the way to get there. Abandoning getting him the ball as he moves from the high post to the low post and working harder at getting him the ball from good angles as he establishes himself in the low post is. Unless someone wants to give up on this year and start planning for how we might utilize Akok with 20 more pounds of muscle next year. Assuming, of course, his body is capable of taking the weight and he doesn't go pro after one year. [/QUOTE]
