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.

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