He plays starter minutes. He is 3rd on the team in minutes and plays more minutes per game than Okpara and slightly more than Mashack. Honestly, him coming off the bench makes the most sense given his skillset. He's a better scorer than Mashack and the better defender than Lanier and can handle PG duties when ZZ is on the bench. He is the perfect 6th man.covering minutes for 1-3. With Philips being the guy to back up the posts. The one thing starting him over maybe Mashack would help is the slow starts? I think Barnes is playing the rotation as well as can be done with our limitations on depth.

The fact that Bishop and Dubar have not really played i na way to demand minutes sucks and Carr leaving really sucks. But to keep on topic I think POG was lanier but Gainey was the x-factor and is most games.

He can still do that. Just swap how you START Mayshack/Gainey.

I think Gainey is the most underrated player on this team. He is basically our entire bench. In games where Gainey has scored 9 or more points (slightly below his average) , we are undefeated. To be fair in games where Lanier scores 18 or more we are also undefeated (slightly above his average).

He forced some big turnovers, always digging at the ball, adding pressure etc. I think his defense often gets overlooked.

Again co-POG’s
(1st half) Lanier with 30 points 5 boards
(2nd half) ZZZ 16 points 7 assists

Honorable mention to Gainey with 14-3-3

Huge road win to keep us alive for the coveted 1seed!

Honorable mention as well to Cade Philips, who did a ton of dirty work against a tough front court.

Needs? All he needs are starter minutes. And the team needs bench scoring. If he started, where do the bench pts come from?

Totally agree with this. I'm not sure what the obsession is with who starts, as Gainey is almost always on the court to close games. And as you said, if he starts, where is a spark off the bench if you need one? If it ain't broke ......

Ziegler threw up a couple of WTFs today, but when it mattered most, he knocked the bottom out of it. String Music in College Station. Joe Dean would have had a collection of violins describing Chaz

"Aaaaah Tom, the New York Philharmonic string section has a special medley for Lanier" with an excited rasp. Tim Hammond was the play-by-play guy. TVS

Lanier gets the nod today, primarily for doing very well what he is paid very well to do and the offensive plan was better suited to him roaming the floor without the ball and catching and shooting off a pick or off in the three point land, all set up by ZZ or pushing the ball into the lane and then kicking it over for a square up three point shot.

But every SEC team has a shooter out on the perimeter that doesn't create their own shot with the ball, the jump and shoot guys are everywhere, Grill at Missouri is probably the best, Edwards at Vandy is pretty good, Hubbard at MSU, Clayton at Florida, Sears and Holladay at Alabama can fill it up, Johnell Davis at Arky is always concerning, but Chaz was seriously misused in the early part of the SEC season, thinking he could create a shot off a ball screen at the top of the key, the horrors in Gainesville, Nashville and twice with Kentucky should keep Barnes from trying that nonsense anymore this season.

Auburn goes to College Station a week from Tuesday, our trap game that week would be Ole Miss, hold serve at LSU, give Alabama everything you have and celebrate the final year players against South Carolina,
