When one of those Seniors is your starting PG and he's turning the ball over at an alarming rate, that ain't propelling you to anywhere but a one and done in the NCAAs either. He needs to sit...clear his head. Refocus.

Cadougan has an A/TO rate of 1.66/1 which, yeah, isn't good.
But your solution is to replace him with a guy whose A/TO rate is .85/1 while also putting your leading scorer in a new and significantly different role? And pairing him in the backcourt with a guy whose A/TO rate is .59/1?

Umm, yeah. That makes a ton of sense.

I do not think he needs to clear his head or refocus but do think sitting is strong argument. All I know is the more I watch JR play the more I want to hear this unreal story on why Buzz loves him. To me anything short of him being raised by wolves does not cut it. I love loyalty and trust Buzz but Jr. is very weak link on this team.

I want Junior starting at PG still over one of Blue/Mayo.  The only real change I'd like to see is Jamil starting for Juan.  If not Jamil for some reason I think Taylor has proven just as much already and he wouldn't chuck up a three right a way.

He's not starting due to loyalty.  He's starting due to him being the best option available.  Pakuni laid out the stats nicely - he's not playing particularly well, but there are not better options.

4 on 5 would have been better option yesterday.
