James vs Jones

I thought he would be that based on what the staff has been saying. Shaka was talking him up as ready to go last year. At one point, when asked about his impact another staff member pointed to Marquette having different players be back-to-back Cousy nominees (Tyler & Kam).

If you believed what the staff was saying about these guys, their self-evaluation indicated Sean would at least be an all-league caliber guy this year. Part of my concern going forward is their evaluations of many of these players and the belief this roster would be competitive based on said evaluations.

Past evidence indicates that Shaka indulges in a lot of this sort of Coach Talk. However, nothing in Sean's ACTUAL performances indicated this, and that was before coming off a major knee injury. Expecting him to leap from "energy guy that couldn't shoot and got burned on defense repeatedly despite all-world speed, then had a major knee injury" to "star" seems like a fantasy.

For all the other good things the staff says about him, I just don't think he is a guy that can consistently help achieve the V part of RGV.

I suggested another option of going small, you must have missed that.  Weird.

Suggest? You say you "wouldn't hate" it if Zaide isn't awful.

First it was CHs mins are fine bc Royce doesn't deserve them. Now you're hinting maybe smaller would be ok, but I can't tell.

Is your stance that CH's minutes are too high or not?

My stance is that everyone that isn't Chase, Ben and NJ's minutes are too high, but unless were going to start playing 4 v 5, 200 minutes have to come from somewhere. CH has been getting a ton of hate and I agree that he's not great, but there are no good options, and overall I'm more disappointed about true Sophomore's regressing than I am about a RSSP only improving marginally.
