James looked like our best player.

Assuming 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.

Quote from: wisblue on November 29, 2025, 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.

Why is it always either/or?
I think Buzz said, it's more important who finishes.

Quote from: MuggsyB on November 28, 2025, 05:33:09 PMJTY has had some very good moments. Don't forget what he did in Honolulu vs Kansas/Self.  And he can cause havoc on the defensive end.  I understand he was brutal to start this season, and seemingly hasn't improved his J, but he's still an impact player that hopefully can help us. 

Judging a player by his one shining moment is fool's gold, otherwise Ryan Amoroso would have been a lottery pick after the Great Alaskan Shootout.

Yeah his best game was probably v. Creighton just a week or so before his injury. Between Kansas and Creighton, he had a number of outings where he was largely invisible.

I like Sean, but there really isn't evidence that he is a BE level starter right now.

My favorite Sean game was against Kansas. He quietly dominated his minutes. Wish we could've have seen him healthy in that Sweet 16 season. Could've been a very helpful player in March with his change of pace.

Unfortunately agree with your last point as of now too.

I'm leaning Sean.

Nigel has been clearly better but I don't see any way Sean returns next season if he's a backup behind a Freshman PG and I'm sure Shaka wants Sean back next year because we don't have another PG set to return or on the recruiting trail.

You can't go into next season with 1 PG and Shaka won't want to use the portal to find a backup for a Sophomore PG either. I'm leaning Sean when fully healthy.

Let him go then . You start the clearly better guy and that's Nigel, plus may be better for Sean glass man jones to come off the bench next with all the injuries.

OTOH, Nigel could transfer if he isn't starting next year as well.

Shaka shouldn't let that concern him at all.

I agree but we can't go into next season with 1 PG and I think it is much more likely that Nigel comes off the bench than it is Shaka use the portal.

I'd rather see Nigel starting, no doubt.

He single handidly stopped the unstoppable Radford as well, so he has that going for him as well.
