New Starting Lineup

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

Edey
Gillis/Furst
Jenkins
Smith
Newman

Jenkins and Newman have earned these spots....and are tougher, quicker on defense.

no Furst, did nothing again today, weird outside shot too, like his shooting hand is turning inward on the shot

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Unfortunately, Furst has regressed. I can't remember the last time he hit a 3.

NOTE: If Edey can go 40mins let him play all 40.

 

[rgarlitz]

Fletcher Loyer is going to be one helluva Boilermaker. His day will come. It's now or never for Jenkins. That edge could be just what Purdue needs.

Was just thinking the same about Furst.......when he's in....no more outside shots...Period....keep him under the basket for rebounds and put backs!

I like Jenkins off the bench, having said that, he needs to be playing 20-25 minutes a game.

 

[purduedavie]

Edey, Gillis, Newman, Loyer, Smith…Jenkins 6th man playing 20-25 minutes a game, Renn 7th man spelling Edey and Gillis, Morton 8 and Furst 9, the last two need at most to be 10-12 minute a game players right now. I like the both of them but although rotation players they need to be back of rotation players.

Edey 30-32 minutes, no need for 40 minutes, Renn and Furst if need be can eat up 8-10 minutes.

Loyer definitely needs to be coming off the bench. His strength will always be his outside shooting. He is not going to be beat people to the rim or be the best defender.

However, he is in a tremendous shooting slump for several games now, including missing his FTs now too. He is hitting a wall, and it is showing. Jenkins has gone to the opposite side of the spectrum, and he is playing his best basketball of the season in the last 3 weeks. He definitely deserves the start over Loyer at this point.

His hand has been turning inward a long time. I have little faith in his 3ball and I hope if he continues to shoot them he starts making some

 

[Gman544]

Keep Jenkins off the bench, he thrives with that. But unless Loyer suddenly lights it up he should play more minutes, including against the inevitable end of game press if Purdue is leading.

This is what I think, start Fletch but play Jenkins more minutes.

Feb 9th. I looked it up today.

 

[Chi-Boiler]

The problem with starting Smith and Jenkins is the demand that one of them needs to be on the floor at all times. The player rotations aren't as easy if you start them both.

We all need to forget the last time Caleb made a 3 because he's never going to shoot one again if logic applies.
He's not a 4, give it up. Make him backup center and TKR becomes a 4 where he belongs.
