Basketball Starting 5 needs to change

I think it's time to start the 5 best players we have. We play down to teams and let them stay in the game. The first 5 minutes with Josh Gray on the court are just for him to get minutes so TQ doesn't have to play 40 minutes. Let's get the best 5 out there and get some rhythm going at the beginning. It's worth a shot. Losing to Auburn, Missouri, and State just shouldn't happen with the talent we have. TQ, Hornsby, JP and sometimes Mickey are the only ones who are giving it their all in nearly every play. Lastly, we are pathetic in defense. I don't care how well they shot from 3. Auburn average 50 something points a game on the road. That is ridiculous and we gave up nearly 80. Tired of being let down by this team every year.

Gray's best stretch of the game was the first 5 minutes.

quote:6 players played 96% + of the minutes in the game. You really want 5 players to play all of the minutes? What difference do you think that will make?

The problem is that we don't play enough players as it is.

LSU is suppose to rely on M&M for inside game buy all they do is to take shots from outside and if they miss they lose the game.

Darcy Malone accidentally got a defensive rebound last night. He should be commended.

This was simply the 2nd game we've lost because we cant make FTs.
It never should have came down to that though. The coaching has GOT to improve, and fast. We cant build up losses to terrible teams and expect to make the tournament.

Gray was a highly recruited juco guy, he was like pulling i think 33 ppg last year. He'll come along

Gray has to play more IMO . He's the only player that get dribble penetration and get his shot,dump it off or kick it out ..I realize his decision making needs to improve but it's a fact that TQ struggles to take his man off dribble and can't create and finish either. GUARD PLAY is by far the biggest weakness on this team and it effects everything we try to do.

I said during the Morehouse St game that Gray was going to be a selfish player and a turnover machine and was told
Just because I saw how he'd turnout and thought the Chris Jackson similarities being thrown around were hogwash. I still think he can be a good player, but he needs to develop a trust for his teammates.
