Last post by MU82 - Today at 07:57:17 PMAssuming James remains healthy, he will continue to start even after Jones returns.
He's the better player, and Shaka knows it.
All IMHO, of course.

Last post by wadesworld - Today at 07:48:17 PMQuote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 07:32:21 PMThis could be a very frustrating season to try and gauge development. A lot of times you see teams find their groove and it is easy to see development as teams start to win.
In this current state of the Big East, we may end up winning some games just based on the fact that the conference sucks.
Against good teams we have no chance, against solid teams we will always come up short because Caedin Hamilton (and most of our front court) is that bad and that much of a hole in our lineup. So we will need to be careful on just looking at wins and losses to determine whether these guys are progressing or not.
Thanks for keeping us in check.

The Superbar / Re: '25-26 NBA Thread
Last post by wadesworld - Today at 07:45:46 PMThe Bucks are finally healthy (minus Prince but that's not a big thing) and Doc goes back to 9 straight minutes if 4 backups and one of the non Turner/GA/Rollins lineups. A regular lineup goes on an 18-5 run to go up 11 and Doc goes to this trash and the lead is down to 2 haha. The only time Doc can get a rotation that makes sense is when a star plus two rotation guys are out. It's crazy how this guy keeps getting head coaching jobs. Saw an Instagram post after last season showing the C's title team that said "Greatest Team of All Time" with "Won a title with Doc Rivers as their coach" in small print and I can't say it's wrong.

Last post by wisblue - Today at 07:29:15 PMI don't think it matters that much who starts.
It might make sense to have Jones start and have him be aggressive on defense without worrying too much about fouls.
Shaka usually brings in a couple of subs about 4 minutes into the game and James could be one of those.
James can easily get 30 minutes without starting, and not having him start can avoid early foul trouble and keep him fresher for more minutes in the second half.

Last post by Farley36 - Today at 06:38:17 PMQuote from: nyg on November 28, 2025, 05:16:34 PMI presume Jones will be back shortly.
Does Shaka keep James in starting lineup or replace with Jones.
James is so much more better on offense, today he had 20 points on 50% shooting, 4 assists and one turnover. Defense he has to work on, but he is getting game time experience.
Jones better on defense, not close to James offense. But does Shaka go back to Jones due to his culture/development/retention philosphy?
I hope he keeps James as starter, Jones and Stevens off bench and Norman with one to two minutes a half, giving a player rest before TV timeouts.
I love how you'll keep asking questions like this as if it matters.
