we will have a nine man rotation by the end of the month:

Golden
Washpun
McRae
Tatum
Richardson
Maymon
Stokes
Hall
Woolridge.

Not bad, but I can't see McBee not coming off of the bench for Tatum/McRae/Richardson (depending on who's starting).

Depends on if McRae/Richardson are going to play like they did against Florida.

I think McBee plays vs anyone that decides to play zone extensively. He got in foul trouble real early against Florida and just never got in the flow. One thing I really like about Martin is his willingness to go with his hot hand but not hold that against someone for the next game. McBee didn't play well Saturday so he sat the whole 2nd half, but that doesn't mean he's out of the rotation yet.

I not going to guess til after next Saturday.

I think how big our rotation is will depend on how we're playing.

Yemi will likely be used only if Hall and Woolridge are both struggling, which hopefully won't be that much. Much as I like Yemi.

McBee, on the other hand, will likely get time whenever our shots aren't dropping early, in an attempt to provide a couple quick buckets to spark the team. He won't be playing 15 minutes a game, but I imagine he'll get his time.

McBee can't create his own shot or catch and shoot while moving. If he's not set and spot up, then he is not going to hit at a very high percent. If he's set where he can catch take a breath and shoot, then he's pretty good. So, I don't see him getting much time against the more physical SEC teams.

 

[Shaun1985]

I agree. McBee rides the pine until we see some zone. No way he gets decent minutes if Richardson and McRae are playing like they did the other day.

 

[OrangeBalls]

McBee played only 4 minutes against Fla. He got 2 fouls in those 4 minutes. He needs to do a better job of not fouling and playing within himself. He just can't hang with the quick athletic guards.

Miller must be dogging it in practice and not playing any D. He didn't even take his sweats off against Fla. With Stokes now on the team, he'll be lucky to see the floor unless someone gets in foul trouble or hurt (I hope not).

Before the season started, I really thought Miller would be backing up Hall and taking his starting spot by SEC play. He must of did something REALLy bad because didn't he have a pretty decent game and then was on the bench the very next game? Still don't understand that. I think he's a better player than Yemi but that's because Yemi is still too raw.

He had a great first half against Pitt, 13 points/9 rebounds then didn't start the second half. Played a little over three minutes in the second half. Don't recall seeing him play since except one game.

I look for McBee to get more minutes than Richardson when Tennessee is playing on the road. Upper classman generally do better on the road than Freshman.

Josh Richardson is very mature for his age, and really does not play like a freshman. The fact that he is the best defender, and one of the hardest workers on the team would lead me to believe no matter where it is that we are playing he will still see his minutes. Coach Martin really likes Josh's style alot, and he seems so be finding is offensive game to go with his great D as well. I am very excited about Josh's future here, i think it is very bright for him.

With that said, i really do like skylar he just unfortunately doesnt have the athletic capability against some of these quicker guard(i.e florida). I think we will continue to see him sparingly, more against teams packing it in or playing zoens and less against the other teams. If he comes in and is on fire like against UTC then he'll get more minutes that game, coach martin likes to ride the hot hand and thats something i absolutely HATED about bruce. It seemed like just when somebody would get going he would take them out, his rotating players was horrible to say the least.
