In response to mrjames
Mike, what do you think about the contributions Egi and McCarthy could make? Of course, they've each now missed the entire practice period + OOC schedule. Egi has played 20 minutes, McCarthy not at all. I expected them to back up Lewis and Bryce, maybe even playing alongside at times.
As we saw against BU, Egi is a strong defender, shot blocker and rebounder. He may not score much, but when Chris Lewis is off the court Egi could contribute, likely grabbing all of Henry Welsh's minutes and then some.
McCarthy isn't really a PG, but he did play there the entire 2015-16 season. Throwing out his first three games that year (1 for 16), Tommy shot over 40% of 3's since then. Again, he's not 'the answer' at PG, but I'd like to see him take the load off Bryce, likely getting Farley's minutes and possibly some of the minutes from Juzang/Haskett. I wouldn't worry about 2015-16 TO's as there really was no other guard help.
Finally, what are you hearing about their availability?
