In response to Go Green

On paper, preseason, we shouldn't have been this bad. We're not really good and it's hard to see any major changes on the horizon. I don't see many W's on the schedule with the way things are panning out.

The data mrjames has provided is stark. IMO The Big Green needs find a zone offense they can execute and use that and it's fouls aka be more aggressive defensively. That means either playing the existing rotation with more fouls or going deeper into the bench to access fouls. Right now they play like they are afraid of coming out of the game.

I've like what I've seen from the three McD's nominee freshman so far however brief they've been on the floor in the case of Carter and Barry. Sistare has been solid and doesn't turn the ball over too much and has a solid handle and can seemingly handle pressure. If we're going to lose consistently, it might make sense to spread some developmental minutes down the bench. We're playing a lot of upperclassmen who hadn't played much in the previous years so they're acclimating to playing substantial minutes like the underclassmen. Outside of the returning big minute players everyone is really green.
