Last year we all said that Harris would see the same minutes as lieb. He played a lot more.

We’re not going to go 11 deep, but there will be injuries and some guys won’t perform. The lineup will work itself out.

My only point is that Harris has a spot on this team and will see the court. Who do you want in the game with a 10 point lead and three minutes left?

Who said that? I never expected Lieb ever to play much at all. Harris plays hard and well but the main reason he played was we lacked depth, experience, and Skyy left. Also, we lacked shooters. BU addressed at least those aspects we lacked. Its easy to say Harris will play more minutes but barring injury then who will sit at PG? TSJ will get 80% or more of the time available at the 2 so we have Goode and the transfers BU brought in to space the floor for Shannon to do his thing. Thats why BU brought them here. Those guys are going to play most minutes at the three so we have shooters on the floor. If you think at least one of Goode, Domask, or Quincy will be in the floor nearly all the time at the 3 and maybe the 4 too to provide shooting I don't know what to tell ya. If you feel Harris is ahead of Ty. DGL or Harmon at the one I disagree. I don't see Ty or Harris end down the stretch at PG either. I really hope DGL pops. We need a reliable shooting threat from the field and the FT line in closing minutes of games.
