Give Grey some minutes off the bench I guess. Make him handle the ball a lot less.

Quarterman is so much better than him though, and has to be the starter if we want to make any noise this year

Better decisions, and protects possession of the ball

Oh yeah and he's tall and can throw down nasty dunks when no one expects it.

Patterson has looked great this year too. I'd like him to be first off the bench for guard if Q started

I'm not sure Patterson is a PG though. although i guess for 3-5 minute stretches here and there he could play it

He's definitely an off-guard, catch and shoot sort of guy to me

No shut the fuq up.... bring quarterman off bench but give him the majority minutes... you start giving quarterman the go ahead and it throws him off his rythm

Who plays the first seconds means nothing. It's who plays the most and who plays down the stretch.

In fact, LSU does a nice job of starting well enough to consistently have leads in the second half. The Tigers need to have the right players on the floor late to seal the deal.

Honestly, everyone is ignoring TQ's 3 TOs in the last couple minutes of the game. With our style of play, we're going to have turnovers. While Gray needed to be benched during the game, I don't think it should be permanent. TQ is just as up/down as Gray (lest everyone forgets his previous game where he was worse than Gray), and it's not like Jones hasn't given other guys a chance in spots.

Too good coming off the bench. With our lack of depth, we need him to be that spark. Grey can't replicate that. Plus Gray isn't half as shitty as y'all are making him out to be. He doesn't commit a ton errors but when he does they seem to be at the worst possible time.

I wouldn't mind a lineup of:

Quarterman
Hornsby
Martin
Mickey
Malone

with Gray coming off bench as an off guard and Patterson playing both off guard and PG.

I sill don't mind Gray getting the start (even though right now I think he is the 2nd or maybe the the 3rd best option at the point). That said, Jones has to have a quick hook (like last night) if things start to spiral out of control

This could happen but I doubt JJ gives into the temptation just yet. TQ is already being hailed as the 6th man of the year in the SEC by the media and rightly so. Besides, he's already playing starters minutes. Now if you want JP to get more of Gray's minutes until Gray settles down I'm all for that. Gray is capable as he proved against good competition in UMASS, WVU, OM and UGA. He seems to be torn at times between distributing and trying to make a play by himself. LSU is more than capable of breaking a good press, as they proved over and over against UF last night in the second half.

Agree completely. Apparently LSU is ranked 321st in the country in turnovers per game.... IMO Grey is a big part of the problem, but the entire team seems to be careless with the ball.

I think taking the ball out of grey's hands a little bit more will help, but the entire team also needs to work on how they take care of the ball.

If we stop the stupid turnovers and limit the TOs to about 9 or 10 a game instead of 14 or 15 we could be in for a good run in the SEC and into March.
