I’d dress him but he’d sit on the bench most of the game and TD would play most of his minutes.

I expected that this would be a problem for tomorrow.  He just needs to get some sustained rest; and that’s tough to do at this point in the season. 
The fact that this is a chronic problem; doesn’t bode well for the future.  Sincere can be a dynamic player; but playing 35-40 minutes per game does not seem to be practical.  As good as Sincere can be; we will need a top-notch point guard who can run the show successfully for significant minutes per game.  I think TDM’s offense is stifled when playing the point; so I think we need another option.

Westender that is why I agreed with you in other thread that PG depth is or can be a problem.  We can't afford to just hope that SC's knees hold up.  I certainly hope so, but we have to be prepared if not.

The problem is, what decent pg is going to come here, knowing that if Carry stays healthy, he won't play much. It's a tough spot.

There is a week off after the GW game, so I wouldn't be surprised if KD has Sincere in the game for longer than is predicted. 

The opposite could be very well be true. Dambrot could treat this game like lots of coaches treat media timeouts. A two minute rest is good, but if you take a player out just before the media timeout you can get him a few minutes extra rest. Seven days of rest is good for an aching, fatigued player in the heart of conference season, but if he sits out the game before, it can be ten days.

Carry is going to play, this is a winnable game that Dukes need to win and Carry is as tough as they come.
The guy is a winner and he gets a week of rest after GW game.There is no one who come remotely close
to taking over at PG.position.
 This team desparetly needs to limit GW to one shot, control the boards.If the rebounding is good the Dukes win easily.Dukes would be at the top if they rebounded.

I saw  Swingle play in high school and he stood around a lot.If he could do what Hughes did and reduce his body fat and change his body and be in good shape he would be  difficult to handle on the low post.Nice touch around the basket and good free throw shooter. I think he could be good and he is a good person.

Carry is special and if they have any trainers and or team doctor, they should be bracing this knee with everything possible.  And they should  prescribe just what practice time he needs to get by without stressing his knee. In the off season, find  exactly the best course for this young man to both heal and progress.  SC could take this team to places we have not been lately.  I hope the coaching staff keeps his best interest in mind.
