Thoughts on the 10/22 scrimmage

[BadJerry20]

Exactly. Although with our tough early start it'll be interesting to see if he comes out of the guys trying to establish a rotation a bit earlier than usual.

This is my thinking we won't have a lot of time to tinker with the rotation.

Possible, but I'm expecting a lot of fouls early on until the upper classmen adjust to new rules.
Officiating will be interesting this season.
How many of the old heads are going to call a simple hand check a foul?
Let's get it on!!!

Yea I'm curious to see too. I have a feeling some refs are gonna be enforcing the rules to the highest extent, and then others calling it like last year, consistency is the key.

While it may hurt us defensively it will definitely benefit our guys offensively.

Fwiw...Tennessee brought in a NCAA officiating crew for their scrimmage and had them calling it tight on the new rules. After the scrimmage the officials told Martin that Tennessee did the best job out of all the teams they've seen so far with the new rules, they do a good job staying at arms length he was told.

I didn't say playing Stokes 30 a game would be a bad idea, I said Maymon but mainly I mean early on. As I said in my other post I could see Maymon getting 30 depending on health, as the season progresses. Well it didn't work out too good for Cal last year. Lol How many minutes did Moore average in league play out of curiosity?

Like Yemi? Excellent

So if you're saying Stokes 30 and Maymon 25 that still only leave 25 available minutes in the post. I don't see that being split 3 ways between Moore, Davis and Pops, just not enough minutes to go around for those 3 IMO.

17 minutes per game for Moore in SEC play, however that's when we switched to a 4 guard lineup which we aren't playing this year.

There are just too many factors to say flat out how many minutes there will be for those 3. Say for instance Thompson just isn't physically strong enough for the SEC. Then you would probably have Josh and/or Jordy running the point 10 minutes or so a game. Which would open up time at the 3 for Moore or Davis. If Davis isn't ready for the SEC we will definitely see 4 guards plus Maymon or Stokes some. Plus we are talking in such absolutes as far as minutes. We both know player x, y, and z aren't getting 25, 25, 30 exactly. And yes I know it's just easier to divide minutes that way, I do it as well. I will give you this, as I've said before, if Thompson and Davis are SEC ready and Barton can give us a good 25 minutes, Moore will probably get around 6-8 MPG. As a few people have said its a wait and see thing. Either way I'm ready for the season to start.

Wednesday

The @Vol_Hoops Report: October 24 - UTSPORTS.COM - University of Tennessee Athletics

"The officials (Wednesday) said they thought we've done the best job of the three teams they've seen (this preseason)," Martin said before Thursday's practice. "We play a physical brand of basketball and defend at arm's length without fouling. I thought we did a decent job. There were still some hand-checks here and there, but for the most part, we did a solid job."

That's why I said 20 AT THE MOST. I originally had it at 15, Maymon saying 25 Stokes 30. If Maymon proves to be 100% his minutes could go up to 30, and Jarnell played a couple games over 30 minutes as well last year.

Do you think Davis can take the pounding of an sec season?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Do you think Davis can take the pounding of an sec season?

That's gonna be the biggest question. I think it's much more likely he can than it is Moore playing at the 3 over Richardson and Hubbs.

Moore is that hustle player that every team has. I feel it is going to be hard to keep him off of the field.

Just wait till more meets less across the middle.

This is a great problem to have, glad were able to argue about it lol
