If your Fred, do you start Booze?

[Final42b]

Personally I dont know how he couldn't, especially after hearing how much Booze wants to come back and put the team on his shoulders for his final year.

Heres my guess to the lineup assuming Dendy makes grades.
G DG
G Booze
G Phillips
F Ejim
F Dendy or Jamie

I know its a small lineup but i think it could work.

First fatal flaw of a coach:

Start a guy just because he "really" likes you.

If a cheerleader said the same thing, should she start for the team too? Not saying he shouldn't be a starter, but you don't base it on passion. He has to be the best player for the starting position.

I think you have to start JVB and Ejim right now. I still think Scotty is ahead of Booze too. My game 1 starter prediction is:

DG
Phillips
Ejim
JVB
Dendy

Insert SC if one of those is not there.

 

[AlleyAddict]

well I just hope that Ejim and Phillips give us something to build around.

 

[Clone9]

You start the best 5.

The way Boozer has handled everything going on so far, I feel that he has really put himself in a position to be a strong team leader. He definately has a team first attitude. Hopefully he can show Fred he has the talent to be that leader as a starter too.

Yeah, I understand Booze is very enthusiastic about Fred and about being a Cyclone in general, but you can't start a kid on his great attitude alone. If that were the case I could start for the Cyclones...I bet he's one of the first off the bench though.

 

[no2cyclones]

you're*

 

[cyclone13]

You start the best 5.

Like this comment. We don't know anything about the recruits until we see them really play. Again, a lot of people thought last season's team wasn't NCAA team material but of course it wasn't

 

[WalkingCY]

Start the best 5. There is nothing wrong having a leader come in and be the 6th man as well.

 

[psycln11]

No....you lay off the booze. Look where it got LE!!

 

[Final42b]

I just like the intensity and the spark that Booze provides for this team over what Scott does for us. If he continues to work on his shot there will be nothing that Scott has over him.

 

[AlleyAddict]

I just hope he doesn't start booze the way Eustachy did






...too soon?

 

[AlleyAddict]

No....you lay off the booze. Look where it got LE!!

dang you beat me to it haha

This will give us our best option to win next year, pending how good the other couple of bigs are we have coming in. IMO if Boozer and SC are getting a lot of minutes...gonna be a rough start. Curious to see how excited Boozer is if he ends up not being in the rotation by mid year.

 

[DrewCo]

Scotty will start. You guys are crazy to think Boozer will start ahead of Scott.
