Yes. If used correctly, I don't think that Oglewinkel should be on the floor for more than 8-12 minutes per game.
With that said, Fran ran Marble at the point for most of the final minutes of the game....if that is going to continue then I would play Oglewinkel at the 2 spot with White, Basabe, and Woody rounding out the starting lineup. FYI - This is exactly what I stated should happen in the 7 man rotation thread too...
How do you manage the guards?
Oglewinkel comes into the game following the under 12 media timeout but heads to scorers table around the 15 left minute mark and checks in during any deadball scenario for Gesell. Gesell checks out and Marble moves to the point. The goal is to get 2+ game minutes but 4 to 6 minutes of rest for Gesell (you should be smart enough to figure that one out on your own).
Marble is without a doubt the best 2 we have on the team. There is also no reason that Marble couldn't provide 30+ minutes per game in tough games. By moving Gesell to the bench and playing Marble at the point, it allowed for a significant height advantage and better FT shooting to be on the floor....very smart move.
There is no reason that between Marble at the SG and PG position, Gesell at the PG position and Oglewinkel at the SG position, that we can't run a 3-man rotation at the 1&2 positions.
White, Basabe, Uthoff do the same at the 3&4 position
Woody & Olaseni do the same at the 5 position.
That's a 7 man rotation with McCabe and Sapp getting a few minutes sprinkled in at the end of the 1st half or in advance of a media timeout to spell the starters.
