Why mashack is better at the 3 so you'd rather mashack at the 2 and Dubar at the 3? Because assuming Dubar is healthy and Gainey and Lanier are out both Mashack and Dubar are starting with Carr backing them up. Even if one of the 2 is out similar situation Dubar is the guy coming off the bench backing up the 2 and 3.

If everyone is telling you that you’re wrong and off base then idk, maybe you’re wrong?

First off his name is Dubar not Dunbar.. maybe you are thinking of another person and that's causing the confusion? Second off I am merely saying he can add more position versatility than we have now. Would you rather him or Mashack playing the 2 if we lose Gainey or Lanier. Or maybe Phillips or Estrella? The Hofstra teams he played on were very guard-heavy so of course he was playing 3-4

In case this was a legit question, I’d rather Mashack play 38 minutes a night over a lower conference portal transfer who has only generated a narrative of “struggling to figure things out”. You continue to ignore the fact Dubar hasn’t played the 2 in his 4 seasons at Hofstra. His biggest offensive strength coming in was to catch and shoot from the corners.

But, I’m sure everyone hopes he figures things out and becomes a contributor. You’re the outlier thinking somehow Dubar is a better guard option for us than our current roster.

Again in the case that Lanier/Gainey are out Mashack is playing and so is Dubar so its a moot point. It is not a question of Dubar over Mashack it's they are both on the court which one is best for which role. Even if one is out Dubar is the first guy off the bench when the healthy one goes down. Bascially he is the backup at the 2 and 3 and spot time at the 4. For his entire career at Hofstra Dubar was listed as a guard. Did he play mostly the 3/4 yup just like JJJ did here. Because Hofstra had nothing but guards on their rosters the past 3 seasons. 2022-2024 they had like 2-3 guys not named Dubar over 6-6 that played regular minutes. So the fact he played out of position makes perfect sense. The same reason JJJ played out of position his true position was always 3/2 but he played mostly the 4 for us out of necessity.

Off topic but does JP Estrella have surgery to fix his foot issue and possibly get a medical redshirt season?

Barnes didn’t sound real encouraging the other day. Rest seemingly hasn’t worked so they may have to consider surgery, if it’s an issue that surgery can fix.

I’m hesitant to prod you into another manifesto, but Dubar has played 3/4 exclusively in practice, scrimmages, and in the Indiana scrimmage. My guess is that’s where he’ll play in games. We can add your prediction of him playing the 2 to your past claim that the two players who will determine our success this year are Gainey and Boswell. We’ll all be here to celebrate with you, as will the Scarecrow and Toto.

So let me get this straight, are you suggesting we will be seeing Dubar at the 2?

Again dont read very well. What have I actually said? I'll help you out... I said that Dubar would give us more positional versatility and pointed out he could also give depth at the 2.. None of my posts are edited. At no point did I say he is a 2 I said we are very thin at the 2 and he gives us more potential death there. Outside of Lanier and Gainey we don't have depth at the position period. Can Mashack play at the 2? sure, can Boswell? Can carr yes to all. But I think all of them playing there is more out of position for them than Dubar would be. Carr and Boswell are completely unproven at the collegiate level. Mashack is much better at being the 3 man offensively. Mashack is positionless defensively he can cover whoever we need him on. But, given what we know and have evidence of Mashack is not someone we should be counting on for offensive outbursts. Dubar has proven he can be relied on to do so and against high level competition.

This is not theory craft it's based on facts on tape. He has faced 6 ranked teams in the past 3 years. He scored 9 in one double digits in the rest and has averaged over 14 points against them.. does not sound like a lot huh? Except that would put him as second highest scorer in almost every game we had last year and this is how he played against ranked teams. He's shot 38% from 3 for his career on 409 shots so not a small sample size. his assist to turnover rate is basically 1/1 averaging about 1 of each because catch and shoot. He is not slow, he can shoot, has good lateral movement...help me out here other than we don't agree make some argument that he is not qualified... make some argument someone else on the bench is more qualified to fill the role? You can't because there is none. Bishop Boswell has shown 0 signs he's gonna give quality minutes as a shooter. Carr in his limited minutes has looked ok but thats all theorycraft with 0 resume. This is a guy that has been the man in D1 collegiate ball and had to score for his team to win. I take that resume over anything we have on the bench right now.

I'd imagine it's going to be tough for him to make a dent in the lineup at this point. Perhaps a redshirt is on the table for him. A year to get acclimated to the system, get himself mentally in a good space, and a lot of playing time opening up next season with 5 other seniors graduating, including 4 starters and the current 6th man.

That was my thought. And I think his best course of action. For him and the team.

“ so you'd rather mashack at the 2 and Dubar at the 3?”

Of course. Why is this a question? Mashack is a 6-4 2/3 who’s even played PG, while Dubar is a 6-7 3/4 who’s not a SG. This isn’t hard. You’re just playing them at their actual positions.
