    A lot of members on the board start all kinds of threads disguised as "let's tank" threads. I am not one for tanking. I am kind of old school where I say put your best team on the floor to start the game and plan on winning every single night. If not, go down swinging and competing.

    But I am also a realist, and game action helps to develop just as much if not more than one on one practice. I think players like Ish, Pat, TWill, and even Hill :)twitch: "Awkward" :twitch:) should get a few more minutes, BUT......

    I think they should have a veteran on the floor opposite them. Remember when Hill was somewhat in a groove earlier this year? It was because Miller was on the floor with him, pointing him in the right direction and telling him what spots to be in. Now most of his minutes come opposite Patrick on the floor. Each of them are trying so hard to just figure it our, there is no time to help one another.

    I think our rotation should include TWill running a bit of 2 with Lee getting the majority of the backup minutes, Twill handling the ball a bit, but Lowry on the floor directing him. I think Ish should get a few more minutes opposite AB or Martin. Bud I think is ok on his own without Shane. Pat should be playing opposite Chuck, and Hill should only play with Miller on the floor when Miller returns.

    It's like being a rookie chef, and having a veteran chef helping you prepare the meal instead of trying to get better by either watching that chef prepare the meal or trying to prepare it on you own.
