2018-2019 Rotation Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

         I have been reading the debate on McRoberts and I will say this.... Embrace the young man.  A high energy, scrappy, great attitude guy who I believe every team needs. He will at some point have his time this year, whether off the bench or starting.. In 4 minutes or 20. He will have his moment and we as the IU faithful will sit back and smile. I for one am glad he's here and I'm sure the energy and passion he's going to show the younger kids will only make them work harder. I hope he's ready to get the dirty work done.. I think they will have most all other covered.
        So, with that off my chest get back to arguing (debating), I need something to read.

^^A mike-drop worthy post^^

I like the grit that McBob brings.  However, there were a couple of games last year that i remember that he brought nothing.  We didn't have any answers for that either.

Fast forward, if he can ratchet up the defense and be that stronghold, I am good with him being on the floor without the need to score.  Holding an opposing player well under his average is like points in my book.  I believe he is that expendable player.

The debate is still there though to start and be Mr. sixth man.

He was expected to do to much last year because we didn't have any of the players we needed but i feel this year he will be more comfortable and thus more effective imo

Yes. Fit a games worth of kick-@$$ hustle plays into about 10-12 minutes.

does seem to be a little beyond coach speak. Fingers crossed him Smith and a servicable big emerging are key
I hope, but didn't we hear this last summer?

The only players I remember hearing CAM gush like this on we're Juwan and Davis. And for all DDs struggles on defense his offense was fantastic. Not to say Cam didn't say this stuff about others I just don't recall

I recall talk of him earning the gold jersey. As far as saying his offense was fantastic, we will disagree. It was definitely better than Newkirk's offense, but fantastic? Not in my opinion. Way too many mental mistakes.

Davis was shooting 61.5 percent from the field. What more can a guy do?

My prediction for starting lineup:
1. Green
2. Langford
3. Smith
4. Morgan
5. Fitzner

I think I'd be okay with that lineup to start. Fitzner and Romeo obviously need to get up to speed but having only two newcomers early on could help.

Yes, especially with 1 newcomer having 4 years of college experience and the 2nd newcomer being a Md's All-American.

Should be minimal growing pains for that 5, compared to other roster options.

This is where I am as well with the starting lineup and then I believe there are three groups that follow:

Group One (5): First-Off the Bench & Solid Minutes (10-20 Min/G)

-McRoberts, Race Thompson, Durham, Phinisee, and Hunter

Group Two (2): Limited Minutes (Potential Redshirt?) (<5 Min/G)

-Anderson and Forrester

Group Three (2): Unknowns until the Fall/Winter (TBD)

-Davis and Moore
