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.

Why do people keep thinking we have to start Moore if Maymon or Stokes become the sixth man?

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.

Not sure why this discussion is so intense.
We'll most likely be seeing more 4 guard line ups, by necessity than most will care to see.
The main question is will it be successful against D1s that are 2 deep at the 4-5.

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.

I'm really trying to figure out what y'all see in Reese. What am I missing?

We will find out, because I see it highly unlikely Moore starts getting more minutes than Maymon or Stokes.

You don't have to start them, however you're suggesting Moore play more than either Maymon or Stokes. I don't see that hapoening in any meaningful games this year unless there's foul trouble.

I think the Citadel game will be the easiest game that UT plays all season.

Tennessee State is a 0-5 team that should provide another exhibition type experience.
Lots of guys getting minutes.

I couln't agree more. Moore brings a level of atheticism that Maymon just can't bring anymore. IMO Now that isn't to say that Maymon cannot help this team win. But anybody sporting 2 offensive lineman knee braces cannpot be expect to play above the rim. And Moore can bring that to the table.

BTW: the starting lineup doesn't need to change. Moore can get his minutes and be a huge impact without starting.

Good to see he sees what I see. The article also said he likes our four guard rotation, which should make Unimane happy.

He was on the radio this morning discussing it as well...don't get the feeling he's ready to play 4 guard more than 2 post, but it's something we will see.

Anyone remember what season it was that Dixon did so well with the 4-1 motion?
Was forced by injuries to play 4 guards most of the season.

Well Maymon may not play above the rim like Moore does, but that apparently has no effect on rebounding. Maymon is killing Moore in the rebounding department per 40 and it's not even close.

Maymon is averaging a double double in 25 minutes per game, Moore is on pace for about 4pts 5rbd in 25 minutes.

Nobody on here is saying don't play any 4 guard, what most are saying is there doesn't need to be more, or at least not more than the traditional 2 post. Right now we are seeing about 10-15 minutes a game of 4 guard, unless you're suggesting we cut maymon's minutes down to 15 a game there's not room for much more 4 guard a game.

No? I know Wright at Villanova plays/ed it a lot, not that that's a ringing endorsement. I think it's good in spurts, but should in no way shape or form be our primary set.

Let me give you my little (coveted) synopsis of Derek Reese.

Reese was known out of high school as a 'versatile wing' who can play multiple positions. Reese can dribble the ball, shoot the jump shot (and 3), and is working hard in the post. Imagine having a versatile guard/forward who can do dribble, do a post move, and shoot the 3. Though Reese lacks the initial quickness to make him a larger threat, Reese loves playing off the ball. He's a team player who does the 'small things' to get the job done (cliche right?). One last thing that I really like about him and why I think he'll be a good player in the next year or two - Reese is always practicing; he practices very hard and is always trying to add weight. With a good work ethic and natural athleticism he should be solid.

He provided a spark in last year's Xavier game, not to mention he came off an injury that was suppose to stagger all season (from what i understand).

Not to mention Bruce Pearl also had interest in Reese.

Will Reese transfer after this year? I hope not. I'm not sure why he isn't getting any PT right now other than a mention of his back is bothering him on Instagram (@ BTO). If Reese decides to redshirt this year, then we can expect him to be gone after the season. If not, then he'll have 3 more years to play for us.

Knew I could count on you.
It was Jay Wright in 2006.
Forward went down and he played 4 guards, won 28 games and went to the elite 8.

I'm picturing Reese dunking over Lebron on a 100 foot goal in outer space wearing an American flag as a cape and punching Calipari with his off hand while farting in Marshall Henderson's face as I read that synopsis by the Kragman.

Don't feel bad krager. they probably think coach Harris is a dufus.

“Last year (Derek) kind of just got thrown into the fire,” Harris said. “He was out with injuries, banged up, his body probably wasn’t in great shape. But at this point, he’s had some success on the floor, he’s had an entire off-season where he got bigger and stronger and faster, and I think his confidence is high right now.”

Harris works closely every day with the Tennessee big men. And although Reese is officially listed as a guard, his reshaped frame and wide-ranging skill set has Harris optimistic about Reese’s capability to move inside and create advantages for the Vols with his versatility.
