What happens when DC, Mason or James needs a blow...

Do we roll the dice with Steele or Castro or do we bump Gill to the 3 and roll the dice with a stronger inside game.

I vote for moving Gill to the 3.  Let's try to create a tough match up for the other team as opposed to trying to play guys who aren't ready.

Re: What happens when DC, Mason or James needs a blow...

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Going on past practices I'm guessing Steele and Castro get first crack at the extra minutes. I don't see a history of Jim playing a Gill or Powell type player at the 3. If Steele and Castro don't pan out he'll have no choice though. Jackson doesn't seem to be an option.

As I said on the other thread:  ""Enter Tysean Powell at the four with Gill at the three.  Rotating with James.  The A-10 has a host of bigs that start for most teams.  Few play a three small lineup at the guard/small forward positions.  Now you nave Sanders and Robinson as your "bigs" for substitute purposes.  Ya still keep Castro as a guard sub when necessary.  Hopefully, the rotations of the bigs in pre-season will show rewards."

Re: What happens when DC, Mason or James needs a blow...

I've been musing over the ide of a "two big men" inside game, with Lewis and Sanders (or Robinson and Lewis)  playing at the same time.  Others have pointed out we will need more inside presence in the A-10 as teams work hard to shut down Mason and Coulter.  Lewis and Sanders, with some combination of Powell, James and Gill at the three.
