Start over grady? I would have no problem with that.He should start. Let's get our best 5 players out there at the start of the game.
It's a long game and a long season. Developing roles is much more important than worrying about who starts. Evan has starter's stats, which is a killer for opponents when he comes off the bench. Purdue's duo of centers is dominating with scoring and rebounds.He should start. Let's get our best 5 players out there at the start of the game.
We need EB off the bench. There would be no bench scoring if he started over Grady.
Start over grady? I would have no problem with that.
I am amazed that people can actually watch these games and continue to dis Grady.This is crazy talk. It's like saying Edwards should come off the bench that way we will get 26 points off the bench from him.
Yes over Grady.
Yeah, what is that about?I am amazed that people can actually watch these games and continue to dis Grady.
Lack of basketball knowledge and experience.Yeah, what is that about?
Have wheeler sub in and move Boudreaux to the 5Armchair coaching ugh. We are only 3 games into the season. If EB starts who's going to sub in for Haarms? I don't think Tre is ready for that yet. Then you end up with your 2 big men on the bench at the same time. Maybe next year when Dow and Tre are ready for those rolls
Just went over that in my post. Throws the substitution patterns off big time and likely reduces Wheeler’s minutes given he is the primary sub at 4.Have wheeler sub in and move Boudreaux to the 5
I think this is the real answer. None of us sees how the team practices, so we don't see who plays best in their role. When Wheeler outplays Eifert in practice, he'll start. And with Purdue dominating opponents with their aggressive team play, the substitution pattern is playing a big role in that.The issue is the substitution patterns would be thrown out of whack.
You’d likely have to sub Haarms out first with Grady and slide EB to the 5. Then the question become when does Wheeler sub in? Your hypothetical would actually reduce Wheeler’s minutes unless you are advocating for Grady to slide all the way to the third option at the 4.
??? How would subbing in Wheeler first off the bench reduce his minutesJust went over that in my post. Throws the substitution patterns off big time and likely reduces Wheeler’s minutes given he is the primary sub at 4.
I am one who thinks the best lineup for Purdue would actually have EB and Haarms playing an interchangeable 4 and 5 WHICH may end up occurring in late stages of games if both are not in foul trouble. A lot of it truly depends on the ability of the bigs to possibly play for 6-8 consistent minutes for it to work and CMP has rarely been comfortable doing that with bugs.I think this is the real answer. None of us sees how the team practices, so we don't see who plays best in their role. When Wheeler outplays Eifert in practice, he'll start.

So you believe Grady has been so bad he needs his minutes reduced from roughly 30 to 12???? How would subbing in Wheeler first off the bench reduce his minutes
Nice job putting words in my mouth.So you believe Grady has been so bad he needs his minutes reduced from roughly 30 to 12?
He can’t guard many starting 4s in the B1G.He should start. Let's get our best 5 players out there at the start of the game.
