Favorite Lineup

Remember he is playing with a pretty good thigh injury.

Did not know this...what is the status of his injury? Will he be 100% sometime this year?

I agree that he needs to soak up fouls rather than CB or Dendy, but he's got to make better decisions about when to be aggressive defensively. Soaking up 3 fouls in five minutes doesn't offer a lot of protection to our other bigs.
 
I love our "zone-buster" lineup.

Diante
Lucca
Scott
JVB
Craig

This gives us DG to run the show, 3 lights-out shooters, and Craig to get the ball to in the post when they move out onto the shooters.
 
1 - Garrett
2 - Christopherson
3 - Gilstrap
4 - Dendy
5 - Brackins

I'm not saying this should be the starting lineup, but when these five are all on the court together good things happen. I know people are high on Lucca right now, which is completely acceptable given the showing against Drake last night. And Hamilton is obviously getting better and better, but compared to Dendy he puts me to sleep. This lineups ability to run and score excites me more than any of the others. Just my thoughts...

Boy, this basketball season is going to be exciting.

I think it depends on the match up. I love Scott and I love him coming off the bench right now. A fresh set of legs at the 15 minute mark or so is really nice. Also, it allows him and the coaches to watch the game and kind of see what needs to be done. Against, Drake that was focusing on getting Craig the ball, so that Lucca would continue to be open for the 3's.

I could see Dendy starting in place of Ham at times, but that's assuming he comes back from the injury at full force. We've all got to be saying a few prayers about that.

And a pretty good rebounding crew as well. Especially for the type of rebounds that come from long-range shots.
 
Colvin
Christopherson
Gilstrap
Brackins
Dendy

DG has played a lot better to start this year, but CC is going to be a great PG for the next 4 years (I do like having 2 interchangeable pgs though!). This is our most athletic and best defensive team by far! Love having DG, Lucca and Hamilton playing quality minutes off the bench too!
 
I have to say, I really thought this lineup was effective when they broke the game open against Drake:

Garrett
Christopherson
Staiger
VanderBeeken
Brackins

I don't think it's our most athletic lineup or even our best lineup, but they were really clicking on that night. I like the idea of getting Staiger and Christopherson in the game at the same time. Then you add VanderBeeken, who is also a 3-point threat and it could be very deadly offensively.

That's a very tough lineup to defend if you spread out CC, LS, and JVB along the perimeter, let Craig be an anchor in the lane playing pitch and catch with these three, it makes it very tough for a zone to defend well.
