My Starting 5

[Recoil]

1- Goins
2- Bone
3- Tatum
4- Harris
5- Williams

Tatum > Hopson

Fields or Williams either way...What do you all think?

Tatum>Hopson? Not really.

I think Williams plays better coming off the bench. It also helps him avoid getting in early foul trouble.

If you sit Hopson its should only be temporary to see how he reacts. Scotty is going to decide how far we go. We are a better team with Scotty on the floor regardless if anyone feels otherwise. if for nothing else he draws the other teams best defender

its not like Tatum has played any better than Hopson.

I know Hopson is not the 5 * that we all wishes he was but make no mistake that he is our second best player and it can be argued that he is our best player.

The way I feel also. We have 2 best players and everyone else is shuffling for their roles.

 

[VolBalla2014]

Hopson should definitely start.

Hopson should definitely start.

Until he's willing to board and D, he should watch.

ya i do NOT agree Tatum is doing worse then Hopson. Tatum hasn't hit a 3 in atleast 4 games

1 Goins
2 Bone
3 Hopson
4 Harris
5 Fields

Williams, Tatum off the bench.

:thumbsup:

Hopson needs to start but his ball skills are horrible and I think it is mostly mental. He has that dog look when something goes wrong. (dribbling off his knee) It sticks with him and usually effects the rest of his game.

agree look i know hopson makes some mistakes and is really inconsistent but if we want to win he has to be on the floor he has had several real good games this year just has to get more consistent

Let's talk turnovers, though. Tatum hasn't given the ball away nearly as many times as Hopson. I'm saying 10ppg from Tatum is better than 15ppg with 3 costly TOs per game from Hopson.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

I understand why some wouldn't want people to start Hopson, but it's not a smart move. We don't have another player who could do better at that position. As inconsistent as Scotty is, he may be our most impactful player, and it just doesn't make sense to start someone else in his place because we don't have anyone who could be as offensively productive.

I normally wouldn't be in favor of benching Tatum either, but I think it would work for him and Bone seems like he's improved his offense. I think it'd be worth trying out Bone in the starting line up for the LSU game.

I sure am glad BP decides who starts

Ding ding ding. And not pout or slump his shoulders.

[shaggymoe]

1 Bone
2 Goins
3 Hopson (if HE knows he is one of the best players on the court)
4 Harris (Very intelligent player)
5 Fields (Seems to want it more)

Williams,Tatum and Golden off the bench. Although williams is playing well . Just my opinion , but Tatum is a defensive liability.
