Im advocating that if hes not playing well you play someone else because thats having depth actually means.
I posted the numbers because its clear that when hes bad hes bad there is no snapping out of it at any moment thats your wishful thinking.
Let me tell you something about the real world
In the real world Malcolm has been featured on this team for 3 seasons and weve gone nowhere and done nothing. To suggest that no matter how bad he plays we should never take him out or hold him accountable his play is utterly ridiculous.
We dont know what anyone else would really do because we have never really gave anyone else that sorta opportunity. Some of you are so set in you ways its easy to see why Groce gets such a huge pass at times. OMG play a freshman over a senior
yet Maryland strolls into our gym and embarrasses us with 3 freshmen in their lineup. Maryland freshmen guard Cowan looks more polished then the 4th,5th ,and 6th year players we have on our roster.
But let me clarify when Ii said sit Malcolm as well as the other seniors I wasnt talking about for a entire games or that they shouldnt even start. But the reality is that this program is in a awkward position because the head coach needs to win but the facts are that these seniors never have so there is no zero evidence that hey are the key to this program being successful even now they are just the devil you know.
But even still my issue is not so much that Groce leans on the seniors its the fact that he doesnt seem to demand the focus,consistency and energy that most teams get from leaning on their seniors . Can you honestly say wit ha straight face that you have watched Malcolm in those games I listed and some of the other seniors through this season and thought oh man these guys are going all out and playing like there is no tomorrow ?
