More than anything, I want to see us improve our effort level. This is a great opportunity to do so.

Will Riley should be starting. Zero debate.

This will be happening
We probably win by 40?
The walk-ons will be in the game, up 35, with two minutes to go if we play like we did tonight.
I think Ben should be coming of the bench too.
Who replaces Ben?
Who would you start in place of Ben?
Not an actual *want* from me, but you could theoretically start Riley and DGL in place of Ben and Tre.
I'm a big fan of having my best defensive team out first to help make sure no holes are dug early on and then bring your scorers in. This is where we would need Ty. DGL is next up but he's not going to start over KJ or KB, so you're either gonna go small or go with a worse defense to start.
I will probably go with young Mr.Riley,though Ben can shoot he is more of a defensive liability.With Riley you still getting the size,shooting and atleast defensive effort.

I think that we will see more Morez if he figures out how to play without fouling at such a high rate which I think he can and will hopefully sooner rather than later.
Guessing Will replaces Tre instead of Ben.
Ben certainly had his defensive issues last night but is 12-26 from 3 so far. Tre got lost a lot defensively too. I would argue Riley, while bullied at times, has actually had more “want to” than Tre on the defensive side. You can work with want to. And obviously Riley is far more talented offensively than Tre.
But, we will see what Brad does.

They also need to run more lob plays for Morez because of his limited offensive options. Like what has been done with Omoyuri wherever he has played.
I’m personally against Morez and Tomi being on the court for any extended minutes together.
You take away Tomi’s best attribute—being a legit inside outside threat who needs to draw the opposing center from the basket. Morez being a non shooter is fine on its own but you actually decrease the effectiveness of Tomi by playing him with Morez.

Is it just me, or has Carey Booth quietly gone under the radar as the greatest disappointment?
