Who do you think will emerge in taking the most of ON's minutes in the games left?

No way a 4 guard offense works against some of the better teams ... Ky, Purdue, Villanova will beat us unmercifully if we try to play small ball for the entire game. jmo

It will work better is smaller sample sizes against some teams.

Villanova actually plays pretty small

Nova may play small, but their starting guards play BIG

I'm predicting a mini-breakout game for the , 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, tonight. Probably, more like a wishful prediction

That would be amazing. We need one of the two freshmen to step up and provide that on a regular basis.

Wish I could give you a like on this but it ain’t happening

Villanova's 2016 championship team essentially started 4 guards. Arcidiacono, Brunson, Hart, Jenkins, Ochefu. Other than Ochefu, Jenkins was the tallest at 6"6." But they shot 48% from the field and 36% from 3.

Our PG's are small. But if KC and ZZ aren't playing together, you have Vescovi (6'3") at the 2, Powell (6"6") at the 3, and JJJ (6'6") at the 4.

You and me both. We’ve both been clamoring to see Aidoo in meaningful situations all year. I’m going with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Is that blue font I see over yonder?

Tonya Haave.

We'll become the ZZ/Kc show. It's what's been most effective for us of late. And JJJ has finally found his game. Reminds me of how long it took McCrae to come around.

You were pretty gosh darn close. 2 points, 4 rebounds, no blocks recorded but he should of had 2 because I didn’t think that one was goal tending and they didn’t count the wedgie one for some reason

Aidoo showed me something, more potential than everyone of our posts, hopefully next year, we will see it. Maybe, a little bit, this year

I'll take him over Uros after his performance tonight. Uros just can't do much on the court. Not an effective post player, not an effective roll man of the screen (nor that good of a screener), can't block shots, can't really defend in space and isn't some excellent post defender. He rebounds decently enough, and can finish some easy drop offs, but in theory most SEC bigs can do that.

I'd rather give Aidoo some run, he's athletic enough to play at this level, looks like he could be a good shot blocker, as he is very quick off the ground with great length. Probably not physically developed, but oh well. Not saying we need to stop playing Uros, as he can be useful in certain matchups, but I think it is time to give Aidoo some more burn.

4 rebounds, 2 points, and I thought he had at least 1 block where the ball got stuck on the goal - not bad

I tend to agree it will vary depending on the opponent. Barnes only went small against Miss. State at the end and it proved effective but I'm not sure it would have been effective the whole game. I think the State bigs could have exposed us on the boards and scoring inside if we had tried it the whole game. When we do need a big, I thought Aidoo showed some good potential as a rim protector and rebounder to get in the rotation with Plav and Fulky. I think BHH is probably more skilled than Aidoo and maybe Plav and Fulky but he didn't show it last night with no rebounds and little offensively. When we need a smaller lineup I would like to see Mashack get some minutes but I expect Powell and bailey will see their minutes increase when JJJ plays more 4.
Speaking of JJJ, really happy for the kid to finally be healthy and playing well. He remains my favorite on this team because of his on and off the court attitude. If he keeps up this level of play, he could expose a lot of big 4's that try to guard him and make the whole offense work. Go Vols.
