for those complaining about quickness



if jo wasnt good enough to start i think they would have put basabe back into the starting lineup and moved white to the 3. but fran didnt so that says a lot. no true center doesnt mean you cant play small at center and big at sf. yet fran decides jo puts us in a better position as the starter.

leading scorers next yr as i see it (at the end of the yr). marble, white, gesell, jo, basabe.
 


i guess that is where we disagree as i see Basabe starting, as i believe he benefits the most from having a true center on the floor
as for JO i see too many chinks in his armour, consistancy from three, the FT line, bulk as in good muscle weight, better ball handiling as there were to many time he tried to throw it to a man being tripled teamed, these can all be fixed as he will progree from his fr season to his soph season,
my question is will make a Marble like improvement or a McCabe improvement, then there is the chance he stays the same, personnally i will take a in between the 2 type of improvement
the keeping Basabe on the bench, was more of a chemistry thing as the team is playing very well so there s no reason to upset the apple cart
and i am curious to see how cartwright wil affect the starting lineup, as that would put Cartwright in and JO out because neither Gatens nor Marble will sit in favor of JO starting

of course yo two wouldn't because you might learn something, and there is not one point either of you could argue with

There is not one point in there I could read.

with the supposed lack of a true center basabe has played pretty well. i think his struggles were that teams were more focused on him. right now teams have lost focus on him because of white and gatens and marble so he is catching people off guard as they arent following the scouting report they were earlier in the yr. also i think he pressed and tried to do too much to live up to all the expectations.
 


If White starts at the 3 all year we are going to be in trouble against athletic teams. White cannot guard an athletic slasher at this point in his career.
 


Obviously everyone but Herby realizes this, but most teams 3s are guards.

White is not quick enough latterly to play defense on a guard. I wish he could play the 3 becuase it would get the best players on the floor together but I just don't see it.

There will probably be occasional times he plays at the three, because it will create match up problems for the opposition on offense.

Iowa will most likely have to play a zone if he is in at the 3.
