The team really needs to be down to a 10-man rotation. I am not including Hugley in that 10 because my gut tells me he is history. Should he return & thrive, Bus will be the odd man out.

Hall hasn't shown enough to be part of the rotation. That's a shame because he has had a long road. I thought maybe he could be played as an emergency PG  in the case of multiple players being in serious foul trouble, but he has shown little indication that this would be a good idea.

For the time being, I  also see Aekins as out of the rotation. I do feel a bit better about him when the team is in dire straights than Hall, but not much better. His getting no time in a 44 point victory when dressed for the game must mean something. (What that something is, we'll likely never know).

Zach said some things in the podcast that lead me to believe that Jake is not really 100%. Maybe I read to much into that. It seems crazy that we have 2 players in Jake & Cam that had consistent success in consecutive conference seasons & neither is living up to their prior performances. The team absolutely has to get more from the the 3rd perimeter starter.

I’m putting stock in the observation of a previous poster that Dom was on the exercise bike during the game. Perhaps he wasn’t 100% and it gave Dru an opportunity to give Hall a few minutes. I see Dom playing 8-10 mins a game giving TG a rest.  Max and Cam have been underwhelming.  Both have had their moments but too inconsistent to be considered good at this point. It’s why I’d like to see Jake take over the starting role and see if he still has it. Max and Cam can round into form that way.  One of the 3 need to be very good for this team to be very succesful.  At this point, it’s anyone’s guess
