No troll but I missed the AP article posted last night 2-4 weeks. I could be wrong but there’s no thread or reference on this board on that press release.

This.
Yes, Indiana is big, but Clingan and Karaban match up defensively against Ware and Reneau.
Yes, Mgbako (6'8 217) has size over Ross (6'7 195), but he does most of his work in the halfcourt on the perimeter to allow space for Ware/Reneau/Johnson to work inside. Mgbako has yet to show that he can use his size to physically overwhelm opponents' 3-guard/wing/forward.
That being said, about 13% of their rotations feature Anthony Walker (6'8 215) at the 3. If you remember back when we played Miami (oh, the memories), Walker was more of a 4/5 hybrid in Grandpa Jim's small-ball lineups.
When Walker plays the 3 (for about 5-6 minutes of the game), perhaps that's an opportunity for Clingan/Johnson combos.
If it happens, it'll be done sparingly.

This game will be good for Ball's development. But he needs to play much better than his last outing.

Except for the “Castle injury update” thread which gave an update about Castle’s injury.

Ok fine but there was no thread on that I was able to access yesterday or even now. I’m prevented from viewing a thread? Who does that and why?

For the exact reason I just said, either you put UConnKev on ignore or he put you on ignore

No I found it and there were several I had to uncheck but seriously I don’t recall ever doing it. My iPad has a life of its own after I go to sleep I believe. Anyway I found it!
