In response to Dr. V
The box score is interesting. Meisner had 10 points and 9 rebounds in only 20 minutes. Perhaps his broken cheek bone was a factor in his limited minutes and in his not driving more to the basket. I’m not sure if anybody else on this board was also at the game, but you do see little things that are not apparent on TV. One big takeaway for me was the almost palpable sense that I got that when Castlin was on the court we were a better team. He seems like a much better, more polished, and complete player than what I remember. To me the best lineup right now is Smith, Meisner, Adlesh, Tape and Castlin, with Faulds in for Tape or Meisner, Bibbs in for Smith, Hansen in for Castlin, and Stefanini in for Adlesh. For defense and rebounding I like Hunter, but until he develops an offensive game his minutes will have to be limited. He is a really good athlete but has to develop some sort of offensive game. Against taller teams he will see more minutes. Based upon yesterday’s box score (1 for 9 from the field) plus not taking several open threes Hickman really is in a very deep funk/slump.
