He started the year in the starting line-up and didn't look too bad.

Now he hasn't seen the floor in s a month or more.

What's the deal? Why does Robertson never play?

He's not ready and we're more comfortable with 3 guards on the floor

Idk if he is a better option right now but I'd like to see if he's develop any sicnr the beginning. Unlike Darcy Elbert has a decent jump hook.

Odo? What have you been watching? Dude rarely plays. I'm not certain he's seen the court in a month.

Darcy has to be one of the weakest 5's that we've ever had.....I miss Tuba

Minutes this year:

Malone: 171
Odo:113
Robinson: 67

Robinson hasnt played since our first SEC game against Missou, while Odo played 1/20 vs Florida.

Odo hasnt played a ton, I just know Elbert was our highest touted prospect out of last years class and I was excited to see him play

Robinson is incredibly slow, and LSU is an uptempo team. he should be ready next season, assuming he continues to lose weight

I thought he got up and down the court pretty good for his size. I was watching for that.

Seems like he and Odo could give us a a few minutes each, give M & M some rest, make some good hard fouls inside.

In the doghouse for what??

but just realizing he was sick for a while (around the time patterson was also out for the SC game) LINK

Every game I think to myself that this will be the game that Darcy breaks out with a 4 to 6 point offensive splurge, but alas, I'm always disappointed.

I think it curious they started him at the beginning of the year. Surely, they coaches saw the same thing we saw from him...that he really, really does not move very well and needs to improve on that significantly before he can get meaningful playing time.

But outside of that, there was a game earlier this year where CJJ wanted to put him in and he refused. After about a 60 second chat from CJJ he went in, but with body language that spoke volumes.

This as others have said, may be a contributing factor.

That is exactly all those 3 big men did was foul almost instantly when they were put in the game but that's all they did and I stress ALL
