Hope he gets better, but we have a nice rotation right now
Who on the bench should he play over ?

He had a grad class. Maybe a week or two yet.

Sitting in section 7, row 5 or 6 from middle of first half through end of game1

I think at this point he would only get minutes if most of our guards are struggling, or there are too many TOs. Would be good to have his depth to shake things up if/when we get stagnant. He's the kind of player that can do that with his toughness and grit. But I generally agree that are guards are playing well enough that it shouldn't matter.

He still has a lingering back problem. I think he hurt it vs. Georgia State,

My gut says that he still has an important role to play for this team as the stakes get higher.

Spike adds elements to this team that we don't necessarily have, especially on the offensive end. I love how solid PJ has become, but Spike is more dynamic as a distributor off the dribble.

Without him, we lose the Ga State game.

Depth is also key in these important games and it's always a good idea to have depth at the guard positions.
