Bookmark this. No, I don’t think LSU is great and idk about McMahon long term, but this is a great spot. Auburn is overrated. They aren’t great offensively. And I think McMahon will challenge the team after Saturday. Also, if you are a gambler, LSU line will probably have value after that performance Saturday.

EDIT: I’ll eat my crow. They are fricking terrible.

Auburn is not a good shooting team but have you watched LSU shoot?

If Justice Hill plays more minutes than Cam Hayes someone needs to DDT McMahon at mid court.

Can Hayes - 8 ppg slashing 50/40% 20 mpg
Hill - 6 ppg slashing 30/27% on 28 mpg

All of Hill’s minutes need to go to Hayes, Williams and Ward. Ward can get some of Hannibal’s minutes too.

Sure, but that doesn’t mean we’ll win.

God….watching I knew it was bad, but when you put it in black and white, that’s terrible.
At 1-4 in conference and 4 game losing streak, he needs to shake things up

This is what’s so troubling, either McMahon doesn’t recognize that playing this guy would be crippling to any team or it doesn’t matter to him that Hill is so bad and he’s willing to lose rather than make a change. Both reasons are major red flags for any coach.

Agreed on Juice. He's just not cutting it. I love Hannibal's energy, but he's a one-trick pony and has no outside game. Hayes can contribute more and hopefully his injury isn't something that isn't going to linger long-term.

If we can't compete with the routine lineup/minutes distributed and things continue in a downward trajectory, I'd hope McMahon starts giving significantly more PT to Ward, Reed, and Phillips. If we're going to lose anyways, mine as well let these freshmen get some experience to develop and start preparing for the future.

If Hayes is healthy enough, he should start at PG. Maybe J. Williams and Miller after that. Hannibal should see a lot of time as a slasher at the 2, maybe a little PG. Hill needs to sit until he works through things.

I agree that Ward needs to see a lot more time (in addition to Phillips and Reed). It would be great if Ward can play at the 2 to give us length, not sure if he has the handles, though. Once Wilkinson gets healthy, having him and Ward on the court at the same time would be interesting to see, especially from a defensive standpoint.

The Cam Hayes situation is a perfect example of the problem. He starts the year not playing at all, Juice Williams gets hurt so he starts to backup Hill and becomes one of our top 3 most productive players. The problem is he’s been moved to the 2 where he doesn’t belong and now his productivity has slowed. So now you’ve taken a productive player and wasted him for the sake of Hill keeping his spot. You’re also making your lineup smaller which kills us on the boards. Hayes should be PG1 with Hannibal backing him up. The two Juices are bottom rotation guys but they’re eating up valuable minutes. We’re not going to be competitive this way, you’ve got no productivity from the lead guard spot and your 3 spot is non existent. We’re playing 3 on 5 with the current rotation being used, it’s no wonder we’re getting blown out.

Any reasonable person would have to believe McMahon promised him lots of playing time to follow him to LSU. It's hard to go back on your word after you've given it. You don't want it getting around recruiting circles that you break promises as a coach.

With all that said, he really does need to sit Hill. He's just not cutting it in the SEC. There has to come a time (a lot sooner than later), where you have to do what's best for LSU, and not Hill.

The 40 point loss was an aberration. They are better than that. CMM should have this team ready to lose by 10-15.
