I don't understand why Derek Reese never sees the floor. He is 6-8 and he can actually shoot the basketball. I guess his defense isn't good enough to play in Kevin O'neil's, sorry, Cuonzo Martins system.

Well Derek, if you'd take the time you spend on VN and spend that time working on your game instead, you'd probably get to play more.

More of a concern to me is your infatuation with constantly dissing the kid since he walked on campus.
Is it a 'I was right about the kid' thing with you or did his family kill your dog?
We get it. Martin missed on another if you want it that way.
But why no grind on Martin's misfire on so many others?

Bingo

Against some teams 4 guard would work better, against others Maymon/Stokes is what's best.

It's called being versatile. Suggesting sitting Maymon in favor of Moore is one of the more asinine things I've seen, Maymon is gonna average a double double.

Who said you need to start Moore? Asinine is not acknowledging the fact that this team plays, and has played, better in a four guard set. It's obvious, but people are so dead set on this idea that Maymon and Stokes have to be on the floor together for 30 minutes for us to win and it clearly is not the case.

That's fine. I just don't want to do it for the whole year. I also think that taking him out of the starting line up after fighting back and not playing for a year+. Might discourage him.

Then, he should toughen up if it's a problem. If he needs to come off the bench for the team's benefit, then so be it. Plenty of great players have been impactful and critical to the success of a team as a sixth man.

4 guard line up the rest of the year isn't the way to go IMO.

You're saying play more 4 guard, we're already seeing it 10-15 minutes a game. If you're gonna play it much more than that you're talking about Moore getting the most minutes at the 4 and not Maymon, right?

What's the point of starting out 4 guard line up in a game if you aren't going to stick with it. He has it the way he wants starting out with Stokes and Maymon and then starting to sub out. Nobody is saying they have to play 30 mins together but they give us a pretty good chance to win if they're on the floor together and teams can't double team them.

The OP likes to complain about martin, he knows there's zero chance this will happen therefore giving him something to complain about each game the rest of the season.

Calculated move

I see. I have nothing against going 4 guard but that's not a winning formula in the long run. Like I said slashing Maymon's minutes are going to help the team.

The 4 guard is a weapon, but for 15 minutes a game, not our primary set.

When you have 2 guys like Maymon and Stokes you play them, simple as that.

What I did like seeing last night was having Thompson and Barton on the floor at the same time. Guard play is crucial and having both of them jelling together will pay dividends later in the schedule.

I most certainly have not been dissing the kid since day one. I gave him all the credit in the world for having good rebounding ability and a scoring presence. My observations are based on what he's done here. Again, people keep asking about it, and the fact is there is a painfully obvious explanation that I have iterated over and over again.

Not against Xavier and we still play better as a team with a 4 guard lineup.

They were against Upstate. See I can use a 1 game sample as well. But if you think we should have more Moore and less Maymon I'm glad you aren't the coach of this team.

Thompson stuck out to me last night. He played sound defense (for the most part), but more importantly he made good decisions and a couple of great passes. He's a solid backup to Barton and can play well along side him.

Wasting your breath, my friend. It's obvious he hasn't been paying attention.

I have been paying attention. Let's not forget we have played Xavier one mediocre mid major, and the citadel. Did you pay attention in the first half of the Xavier game when we scored 3 points in ten minutes? I would rather see Reese get on the floor and provide some offensive spark than watch the defense play 5 feet off of Armani Moore or Quentin Chevious.

If I have to explain it's truly no longer worth the effort.

Hopefully, for the sake of UT basketball, Martin is able to provide a better "effort" than you in realizing what works better for this team. I hate to break it to you, but Maymon and Stokes aren't the reason this team will win, or, at least, the main one.
