'24-25 Starting 5

[2011WinOverVillanova]

Why do you feel this is our best lineup?

I can’t like this enough. It’s so obvious.

I love the height with the big guys on defense especially. I think with the three guards you can have multiple shooters and someone is bound ti get going.

I value height, blocked shots, fast break points and 3 pointers.

Asking for Billups to not be a starter is a damn near crazy. I don't see Tony doing that after calling him the "glue guy".

Starting both bigs means Haynes has to be the 4. Can you imagine how many times he lands on his a** trying to attack the basket from further out? I hope it works if we try it. Other than his passing, he hasn't shown me much. And his passing aint that great.

Didn't we try a Gio and Haynes lineup for a decent stretch in one of the recent games?

Yes against ECU. My question is, if we’re gonna play both bigs together can it please be in a traditional double-post offense? As much as everyone wants to be the Golden State Warriors, Jalen is not a stretch 4 and I do not want to see him handling and passing out on the perimeter — that’s a turnover waiting to happen.

It's almost like we recruited a guy who is 6'7 to be our stretch 4 and be a threat from outside.
