Start Clayton at the 3. Clayton is never going to commit to scoring inside the 3 point line. We’ve watched this for four years now. Why keep this charade going? The first seven games have been a disaster. We are TINY. Here is my starting five to at least get more height on the floor. 1-PAV 2-AJB 3-Clayton 4-Captain Chaos 5-Vic ______ This also forces Boals to take the training wheels off Evans as a bench big and have him rotate with Vic and Clayton. What do we have to lose? #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top GraffZ06 General User Member Since: 1/5/2005 Location: Dayton, OH Post Count: 2,055 Status: Offline     RE: Why Not This Starting Five?    Posted: 11/25/2024 9:52:09 PM  FearLeon wrote: We need to end the charade.

What do we have to lose? I said in another thread I like the idea of Hadaway, Clayton and Searls all together. Problem is, while they are our better defenders, none of them could guard a MAC SF. They'll get blown by and reach/foul as much as our guards and wings do now!

Zero development vs. 2023.

Of course we immediately gave up 3s. And it's harder to rebound from a zone for a team already terrible at rebounding. Then again we never tried zone and going big at the same time.

Wouldn't even have to be to start a game, but maybe play it against another team's bench to possibly ease the burden on Clayton or Hadaway on the defensive end guarding wings. Problem is, I don't ever see Boals really leaning into this lineup enough. It could be seen as abandoning his philosophy and all of the guards he's recruited to play the small-ball style we're used to. It would severely limit the guards playing time. If Reef is out longer term, maybe there's a slightly higher chance, but we still have a number of guards expecting to get significant playing time, while playing a certain way. Going big would change all of that.
